TLS for your AI assistant

Ask about privacy.
Get the policy evidence.

Give your assistant access to TLS's published Data Transparency results. Our tools run online, ready for your assistant wherever you work.

Connect your assistant

One public connection

MCP endpoint

https://thelearningstandard.org/mcp

Streamable HTTP · Read-only · No TLS sign-in

Server name: the-learning-standard

What you can ask

Is Gimkit's privacy policy clear about student data?
Compare Blooket and Quizlet on privacy.
Which elementary math apps have the best privacy documentation?
Find middle-school science apps and show their Data Transparency levels.

Answers reflect published policy documentation for apps TLS covers. Strong documentation is not a guarantee of an app's practices.

Choose your assistant

Connect once, then ask in your own words. MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets your assistant look up TLS results when it needs them.

ChatGPT

In ChatGPT on the web, open Settings → Security and login and enable Developer mode. Availability depends on your account and workspace policy.
Open Plugins and select the plus button. Enter The Learning Standard as the name and a short description. Under Connection, enter the MCP URL below for a public endpoint.
Create the connection and review the four discovered tools. TLS requires no authentication. Enable the connection in your conversation before asking a question.

Official ChatGPT setup guide

A TLS plugin listing in ChatGPT's directory is coming soon. For now, connect directly using the URL.

Claude web & desktop

Open Customize → Connectors, select the plus button, then Add custom connector.
Enter The Learning Standard as the name and the URL below. Add the connector and enable its tools for your conversation. TLS requires no sign-in.

Claude Code

Run this command in your terminal from the project where you want to use TLS.
Open Claude Code and use /mcp to check the connection and available tools.

Official Claude Code setup guide

Claude Code command

claude mcp add --transport http the-learning-standard https://thelearningstandard.org/mcp

Cursor

Add this configuration to .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for all projects. Merge the server entry if the file already contains other servers.
Enable the server from Customize in Cursor's sidebar, then ask your agent a privacy question and approve tool use when prompted.

Official Cursor setup guide

Cursor mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "the-learning-standard": {
      "url": "https://thelearningstandard.org/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace with the configuration below. Merge the server entry if you already have this file.
Use MCP: List Servers from the Command Palette to start the server and review trust. Select its tools in agent chat before asking your question.

Official VS Code setup guide

VS Code mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "the-learning-standard": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://thelearningstandard.org/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Codex CLI

Run this command in your terminal to add TLS as a remote HTTP MCP server.
Start Codex and use /mcp to check its status. No token or OAuth login is needed for TLS.

Official Codex CLI setup guide

Codex CLI command

codex mcp add the-learning-standard --url https://thelearningstandard.org/mcp

Any MCP client

Use a client that supports remote Streamable HTTP. Add the server URL with authentication set to none. This common JSON shape is a starting point; configuration keys and file locations vary by client. Follow your client's documentation and merge with any existing servers.

Generic MCP configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "the-learning-standard": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://thelearningstandard.org/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Four tools. Published evidence.

search_apps: Find educational apps by name, subject or grade band, with each app's Data Transparency level.
get_app_privacy: See an app's level, what its privacy policy documents and leaves out, with exact quotes, policy links and the date checked.
compare_apps: Compare the Data Transparency results of 2 to 5 apps side by side.
best_documented: Find apps with the strongest privacy documentation in a subject or grade band.

What data it uses

The tools use only TLS's published Data Transparency results: levels, checks, policy quotes and links. They read public results and cannot change them. No TLS sign-in is required. Requests are logged like normal web traffic.

Ask your assistant to include the policy links and date checked so you can review the evidence yourself.
