What is AI Connect for schools?

Your AI. Your school's data.

AI Connect is a secure link between your school's Inkwelly and AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude, built on the open MCP standard. Each staff member gets their own key, with only the modules the school chooses, and asks in plain words. Answers come from live records, every request is recorded, and nothing changes unless the school allowed it and the person said yes.

Also called an MCP server for schools, a ChatGPT connector for a school ERP or a Claude connector for school data.

Why schools connect ChatGPT and Claude to their ERP instead of passing Excel around

Calls. Exports. Uploads. Or just ask.

Today an answer means a call, an Excel and a wait — and sometimes the whole student list pasted into someone's own ChatGPT. With AI Connect you ask, and the AI reads only what that person's key allows.

How most schools get an answer today

A call, an Excel, a wait — and copies everywhere.

  • The principal asks the office and waits for an Excel
  • Someone filters the export by hand, and the total breaks
  • Staff upload whole student lists into their own ChatGPT
  • Nobody knows who has which copy of the data
  • By the time the sheet arrives, it's already out of date

With AI Connect

Ask in Claude or ChatGPT. The answer comes from live records.

  • Ask in Claude or ChatGPT and get the answer in seconds
  • The AI reads Inkwelly directly — no exports to filter
  • Each person's key reaches only the modules the school picked
  • Every question is on record: who, what, when and which AI
  • Always today's numbers — nothing to upload again

Ask ChatGPT or Claude about your school's attendance, fees and staff

Ask like you talk. Get the real number.

In Hindi, English or Hinglish. Claude or ChatGPT picks the right Inkwelly tool, reads your live records and answers with names, numbers and tables.

Sample school. The tool names are Inkwelly's real ones; the AI app writes the answer in its own words.

How to connect Claude or ChatGPT to your school's data

One key. Connected in minutes.

An admin issues a key for one person and ticks what it may read. That person adds Inkwelly to Claude or ChatGPT and signs in once. Nothing to install.

In Inkwelly's AI Connect, the admin issues a key and picks who it belongs to: Rakesh Kumar, the principal.

ChatGPT works the same way: turn on developer mode (Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced settings, on paid ChatGPT plans), create a connector with the same link and choose OAuth. Grok connects the same way, and Claude Code takes one command.

An AI that asks before it changes anything in your school ERP

It can act. Only after your yes.

Actions stay off until the school switches them on for a key. Even then, anything that deletes, publishes or reaches parents comes back as a preview first — and nothing happens until the person says yes.

Sample school. Collecting or reversing a fee payment is never offered to ChatGPT or Claude — it stays in Inkwelly, behind your transaction PIN.

Every AI question and action, logged in your school's Call History

Every question. On record.

Who asked, with which key, which tool, what came back, how long it took and which AI app sent it — for every call. Pause or revoke a key and it stops on the very next request.

Sample school. Changes made through AI also appear in the Audit Log, marked “AI connectors (MCP)”.

Which Inkwelly modules ChatGPT and Claude can read and act on

Your whole school. Not one screen.

455 tools across 31 modules — and the list grows as we ship. A key gets only the ones the school ticks.

Reads, and can act

These modules also have actions — admit a student, draft homework, send fee reminders, fix a timetable. Actions stay off until the school allows them on a key, and anything that deletes, publishes or reaches parents asks first.

Counted from Inkwelly's tool list on 22 Oct 2026. Group keys add eight tools that add up every school at once.

How an AI Connect key works, from the day it's issued

One key, start to finish.

Issued to one person, used every day, and stopped the moment it should be — with every call on record.

  1. Thu, 1 Oct
    Principal's key · read-only

    Issued

    The admin picks the person, names the key and ticks what it can read. The secret is shown once.

  2. Thu, 1 Oct · 10:20 am
    Claude · signed in

    Connected

    Added to Claude as a connector. The key is pasted once, on Inkwelly's own sign-in page.

  3. Thu, 8 Oct
    ChatGPT · signed in

    A second app

    The same key, added to ChatGPT too. Both apps share its access and its log.

  4. This week
    86 questions

    Asked every day

    Absentees, dues, results — each call lands in Call History under his name.

  5. Today · Fri 16 Oct
  6. When it's time
    Stops on the next request

    Paused or revoked

    Pause to stop it for now, revoke to end it, rotate if the secret got out. Signed-in apps stop too.

Hinglish questions, hidden rupees and group keys for Indian schools

Made for Indian schools. And how they ask.

The way Indian school offices talk, count and organise — already understood.

  • Ask in Hinglish

    “Aaj kitna collection hua?” works as well as English — each tool is described in the words school offices use.

  • One key for a school group

    A trust or group office gets one key across all its schools, with answers school by school or added up.

  • Hide the rupees

    Hide fee totals, or each student's fee amounts, on any key. Names and counts still show.

  • Indian school rules, understood

    The board's 75% attendance list, RTE claims, bounced cheques and late fees — all things it can look up.

  • Payments stay behind your PIN

    Collecting or reversing a fee payment happens only inside Inkwelly, with the transaction PIN. Outside AI apps never get it.

  • Your records stay in India

    Your data is stored in India. Only what a question reads goes to the AI app the person chose.

AI Connect for principals, the accounts office, school admins and group owners

Each person. Their own key.

A key reaches only what the school gives it — and every call is logged under its owner's name.

  • Principal

    Asks Claude or ChatGPT about absentees, dues and results — with a read-only key that can't change a thing.

  • Accounts office

    Class-wise dues, today's collection and fee reminders from ChatGPT. Reminders go only after their yes.

  • School admin

    Issues keys, ticks what each one reads, watches Call History, and pauses or revokes a key in one tap.

  • Group owner

    One organisation key across every school — fee collection, dues, attendance and enrolment, school by school.

AI Connect reads from every part of Inkwelly

One connection. Your whole school.

The same tools that power Inkwelly AI inside the app — students, attendance, fees, payroll, timetables and more.

AI Connect

Student Fees

Payroll

Salaries and pay runs — only on keys given payroll.

Academics

Timetables and substitutions, previewed before they change.

Homework

Drafts from Claude or ChatGPT; publishing asks first.

Communications

Which messages went out, and which failed.

Roles & Permissions

Who may issue keys and read Call History.

ChatGPT and Claude for schools: questions schools ask.

  • AI Connect links your school's Inkwelly to AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude. Each staff member gets their own key with only the modules the school allows, asks in plain words and gets answers from live records. Every request is recorded.

  • MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants use another system's tools safely. Inkwelly runs a hosted MCP server, so Claude, ChatGPT and other MCP apps can read your school's records through it.

  • Claude (on the web, the desktop app and Claude Code), ChatGPT, Grok, and other apps that support MCP, such as Cursor.

  • Each person needs a plan from that AI company that allows custom connectors. In ChatGPT that means developer mode, which is on paid plans today. OpenAI and Anthropic set and change these plans, so check theirs before you issue keys.

  • Your admin issues you a key. In Claude, open Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector, enter the name Inkwelly and the server link from the key's How to connect guide, then Connect. Inkwelly's sign-in page opens — paste the key once and you're done.

  • In ChatGPT, turn on developer mode (Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced settings), create a connector named Inkwelly with the server link and choose OAuth. Then paste your key once on Inkwelly's sign-in page.

  • No. A key sees only what the school gave it — a whole module, part of one, or single tools. Tools it wasn't given don't exist for it, and a request for one is refused and recorded. Answers carry no photos and no links to uploaded files.

  • Only if the school turns actions on for that key and ticks which ones. Then it can admit a student, draft homework, send fee reminders or change a timetable, in the key holder's name. Anything that deletes, cancels, publishes or reaches parents shows a preview and waits for a yes; drafts and small edits save straight away.

  • The first call returns a preview and changes nothing. If the person says yes, the AI repeats the same request with a one-time pass. The pass works once, runs out after 5 minutes and only matches the exact request that was previewed — change anything and Inkwelly refuses and previews again.

  • No. Collecting a payment and reversing one need the transaction PIN and stay inside Inkwelly. They are never offered to outside AI apps.

  • Yes. Call History shows every call: the person and key, the tool, a short summary of what was asked for, rows returned, whether it was answered, blocked or failed, which AI app sent it, how long it took and when. Actions also show what they changed, and land in the Audit Log as “AI connectors (MCP)”.

  • Pause it to stop it for now, or revoke it to end it for good — either way it stops on the very next request, even in apps that are already signed in. Rotate gives a fresh secret if the old one got out, and you can set an end date when you issue a key.

  • Yes. A key can hide fee totals in collection summaries and money-flow answers, and, separately, each student's fee amounts on invoices, payments, receipts and dues. Names, statuses and counts still show.

  • Yes. An organisation admin can issue an organisation-level key that covers every school in the group. The AI names the school for each question, and eight group tools add up attendance, fee collection, dues, enrolment and messages across all schools at once.

  • Yes. Ask the way you talk — “Class 8 me kitni fees pending hai?” or “aaj kitne absent?”. Inkwelly's tools are described with the phrases school offices use, which helps the AI pick the right one. The reply is written by the AI app, in its own words.

  • Your records stay in Inkwelly, stored in India. When someone asks a question, what that question reads is sent to their AI app, under that app's plan and terms — so read OpenAI's or Anthropic's terms, and prefer work accounts.

  • Inkwelly AI is the assistant inside Inkwelly: it follows each person's role and permissions and shows an approval card before any change. AI Connect brings the same tools into Claude or ChatGPT, through a key the admin scopes. Both come with the Premium plan.

  • No. Inkwelly hosts the MCP server. Each person adds one link to their AI app and signs in once with their key. Developers can connect Claude Code with one command.

  • Every connection can send us a short note of what was missing. Those notes reach our team, and they shape which tools we build next.

  • AI Connect comes with the Premium plan, at ₹199 per student per year (GST extra), along with Inkwelly AI. Plans run ₹49–₹199 per student per year. The ChatGPT or Claude plan each person uses is billed by that company.
