Create something worth remembering in ChatGPT, then bring it into Learnalist. Make vocabulary lists, practise translated phrases, or turn terms and definitions into notes for spaced review.

From reading to practice

An unfamiliar word in a VG article became five sentences to practise. This real reading session starts with Learnalist Reader, continues with an explanation in ChatGPT, and ends with a sentence list saved through Learnalist’s custom MCP integration.

Swipe or scroll through the six steps, or choose a number. Open any image for a closer look.

Try it with something you are reading: ask for an explanation, then ask for examples using the vocabulary in sentences. Check the examples before saving.

Try it now: manual setup

The public directory listing is awaiting verification. If you are keen to try Learnalist now, you can add a custom connection in ChatGPT on the web. No desktop app or plugin ZIP is needed.

You need a Learnalist account and access to Add custom MCP server in ChatGPT. Availability depends on your ChatGPT account and workspace permissions. If the option is missing, check with your workspace administrator or contact us before changing your plan.

Watch the setup

1. Add Learnalist to ChatGPT

1. Open your personal ChatGPT plugins.

2. Select Add, then Add custom MCP server. Do not choose Upload plugin archive.

3. Enter Learnalist as the name and use this Server URL:

   https://learnalist.net/api/mcp
   

4. Keep OAuth authentication selected. You can leave the optional icon and description blank. Leave Advanced OAuth settings unchanged.

5. Read the warning and tick I understand and want to continue if you agree, then select Create as a plugin. Wait for creation to finish.

2. Connect your Learnalist account

1. In the Connect Learnalist popup, select Connect Learnalist.
2. Sign in on Learnalist if asked. If you are already signed in, you may go straight to the consent screen.
3. Review the requested permissions, then select Allow access to authorize the connection.
4. Return to ChatGPT and wait for the connected confirmation.

You do not need to enable a separate developer mode for this flow. Labels can vary as ChatGPT updates its interface. See OpenAI’s custom MCP setup instructions.

3. Try it in chat

1. Return to your personal plugins and click the Learnalist connection you just created.
2. On its details page, select Try in chat. This opens a chat with Learnalist selected.
3. Send the prompt below.

The connection’s … menu also offers Try now and Manage. Use Manage when you need to inspect or change the connection, rather than creating it again.

Create seven English–Spanish phrases for ordering coffee. Show the complete Learnalist preview so I can choose which side appears first. Do not save until I choose Save.

Inspect the entries, choose Spanish first, and reveal the answer to try the direction. Select Save when you are ready. The preview then offers links to your review notes and saved list in Learnalist.

Watch the walkthrough

The recording shows a production connection, choosing Spanish first, saving the list, reviewing a note, and asking about unsupported features. The connection name in the recording is Learnalist Prod; yours can simply be Learnalist.

If something gets stuck

• No Add custom MCP server option: your account or workspace may not permit it. The manual route is available only where ChatGPT offers that option.
• Connection fails: check the full server URL above and OAuth selection. Use the Learnalist sign-in page, not credentials entered into the chat.
• No preview appears: confirm Learnalist is selected for the message and ask it to show the Learnalist preview. A new chat can help after refreshing tools.
• Saving fails: use the retry action in the same preview. Check any saved-list link before requesting another save.

You can revoke access at any time from Learnalist Connected apps. For help, contact Learnalist support with the step that failed and any error message. Do not send passwords or access tokens.

This manual route connects Learnalist’s tools and preview. It does not install the additional workflow skill packaged for the future directory release.

From conversation to learning

1. Ask ChatGPT to create a learning list. Refine it together until it suits you.
2. Open the Learnalist preview to inspect every entry and choose which side appears first. Try the example to see the prompt and reveal its answer.
3. Select Save to Learnalist when you are ready. Saving creates a private list and adds it for learning over time.
4. Open Learnalist to review your notes. New items are introduced gradually; the whole list does not arrive at once.

For example, try:

Help me create seven English–Spanish phrases for ordering coffee. Let me choose which side appears first before saving.

Previewing does not save anything. You decide when to save, using the preview button or an explicit request in the conversation.

Your learning allowance

Your normal Learnalist account allowance applies. You can save a list even when your free learning allowance is used up. New items wait until you upgrade; your existing notes remain available for review. Any upgrade takes place on Learnalist’s website, outside ChatGPT.

What this version supports

Create and save one paired list at a time, with optional language information. Manage existing lists and review your notes in Learnalist. Browsing, editing or deleting existing lists, review sessions, and reminders in ChatGPT are not supported by this integration.
