set up in Claude

Add Fiveable as a custom connector in Claude and sign in with your teacher account.

what you need

Three things, and the last one is optional.

  • A Fiveable teacher account. You sign in with it when your AI app connects, and your AI app sees the classes and grading sessions in that account.
  • ChatGPT, where Fiveable is in the plugin directory, or Claude on a plan that allows custom connectors. School-managed AI accounts often block outside apps, so many teachers connect a personal account.
  • Optional: Google Classroom and Drive, connected once in a browser at fiveable.me/assignments. Google sign-in can’t run inside a chat.

connect Claude

Best for: Long grading sessions, reteach planning, and drafts you edit in the same chat.

Custom connectors are available on Claude plans. On a Team or Enterprise plan, an owner adds connectors for the organization. Steps last checked September 26, 2026.

  1. In Claude, open Customize, then Connectors.
  2. Choose Add custom connector. Name it Fiveable for AP Teachers and paste the server URL.
  3. Select Connect and sign in with your Fiveable teacher account. Read what Fiveable asks to do, then approve.
  4. Start a new chat, turn on Fiveable for AP Teachers from the + menu under Connectors, and ask: What can you do with my Fiveable account?

Then send this first message. It only reads your workspace, so nothing changes:

“What can you do with my Fiveable account?”

when Fiveable’s tools change

Claude loads Fiveable’s tool list fresh in each new chat, so our updates show up without any steps from you.
