A Model Context Protocol server that exposes the canonical LessonLab knowledge surface — lesson-generation workflows, outputs, and plan boundaries, pricing, FAQ, official links — to MCP-compatible AI clients such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and Continue. Read-only, no API keys, no quota, ~50 ms cold start.

Official website: https://lessonlab.rocnubi.workers.dev

## 📚 About LessonLab

LessonLab is an AI lesson generator that turns a PDF, notes, or a topic into an interactive lesson. Its public product surface describes narrated slides, self-grading quizzes, simulations where appropriate, shareable lessons, and paid export options such as editable PowerPoint files.

This MCP exposes the documented lesson workflow, pricing entry point, and official site context as read-only information. It does not upload a document, generate a lesson, spend credits, grade a learner, or return a PowerPoint file.

Use the live LessonLab site for current generation modes, file limits, credits, plan terms, and exports. Source fidelity and teaching suitability still require a human review before a generated lesson is used with learners.
