Connect Lingard to AI assistants

Lingard Vocab is an MCP connector that lets ChatGPT, Claude, and other compatible AI clients work with your Lingard vocabulary library after you sign in.
MCP endpoint https://lingard.app/mcp
What Lingard Vocab can do

Use the MCP server when you want an AI assistant to create, enrich, or review vocabulary directly in Lingard.

  • Read your learning context and vocabulary collections.
  • Create topic-based collections and add complete cards.
  • Fill missing translations, pronunciation, parts of speech, synonyms, and examples.
  • Attach card images when the AI client supplies valid image data.
  • No delete tool is exposed.
OAuth 2.1 · PKCE · scopes
Before you connect

Connect only from an AI client you trust. The setup opens Lingard sign-in and asks for scoped access.

  • Read access lets the assistant inspect learning context and cards.
  • Write access lets it create or update collections and cards.
  • Review tool requests before approving actions.
ChatGPT

In ChatGPT, custom MCP connections are set up from Developer Mode or custom connector settings when available. Public app discovery may change after Lingard is approved in ChatGPT Apps.

  1. Open ChatGPT settings and enable Developer Mode if your account shows it.
  2. Create a connector named Lingard Vocab and use https://lingard.app/mcp as the Connector URL.
  3. When ChatGPT lists Lingard tools, connect, sign in to Lingard, and allow the requested scopes.
  4. Start a chat and ask Lingard Vocab to show your learning context or create a collection.
Claude

Claude supports custom connectors using remote MCP. The exact controls depend on plan and workspace.

On Team or Enterprise, an Owner may need to add the connector first in Organization settings.

  1. Open Claude, then go to Customize > Connectors.
  2. Choose Add custom connector and enter https://lingard.app/mcp.
  3. Click Connect, sign in to Lingard, and approve the scopes.
  4. Enable the connector in a conversation from the + button > Connectors.
Other MCP-compatible clients

Any client that supports remote HTTP or Streamable HTTP MCP with OAuth can try the same endpoint.

Cursor, MCP Inspector, and other MCP clients can use the same URL if they support remote HTTP MCP with OAuth.
