Common questions

Is LessonFolk safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.2.5) reached the registry 16 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

LessonFolk is a collection of open-source AI courses designed to be taught *by* an AI. Connect your AI chat (Claude Code, ChatGPT, Claude Desktop, Cursor…) to LessonFolk, say "let's start", and it guides you through lessons in a conversation: explaining, asking questions, adapting to your level, and saving your progress.

How it works

LessonFolk is a website and an MCP server (Model Context Protocol, a standard way for AI apps to use tools). Your AI chat connects to it: it gets the courses and the tutor's instructions, and saves your progress there. The website shows your courses, your path and your progress.

The tutor asks about your level and interests, recommends a path of courses, and teaches one short lesson at a time. Courses are grouped by theme: *Understanding AI*, *Using AI tools*, *Building with AI* and *AI and society*. The full list, in the recommended order, is courses/en/index.yaml, or ask your tutor *"what can I learn?"*.

Coming soon: Projects. Real projects to practise what the courses teach: a subject, a few milestones to reach, and your tutor as a coach who gives hints instead of the solution. Some will close a course, others will stand alone.

Quick start

Pick one of two ways:

Hosted (lessonfolk.com): sign in with GitHub or Google, open its Connect page and add LessonFolk to your AI chat (in Claude Code, a plugin does it for you). Your progress is saved with your account.

Self-hosted: private, on your computer, no data sent to us. With Docker running:

git clone https://github.com/CGSeb/lessonfolk.git

cd lessonfolk docker compose up -d --build

Open http://127.0.0.1:4321 to see the dashboard. Then start your AI chat in this folder:

Claude Code: run claude and approve the lessonfolk MCP server when asked.
Other apps: follow the dashboard's Connect page.

Then say:

Let's start learning AI.

The learner guide has the details.

Contribute

LessonFolk grows with its courses, and writing one needs no code. Open your AI agent in this folder and say *"create a course about…"*: it interviews you, proposes an outline, writes the lessons with you and checks them. You are credited as the author on the dashboard.
