Connect Claude, ChatGPT and AI Agents

Playground hosts a dedicated MCP server that lets AI systems securely retrieve information from your account, so organizations can use Claude, ChatGPT-compatible MCP clients, agent frameworks, and internal AI systems to build powerful workflows on top of operational data. Instead of exporting spreadsheets or manually building reports, simply ask.

Ask things like:

Which locations are growing fastest?

Which classrooms are nearing capacity?

How did enrollment change last month?

Which families have overdue balances?

What is our current enrollment conversion rate?

Forecast our tuition revenue for next quarter.

Create a New Form builder with child name, guardian, address, and care schedule fields

Need something custom?

The current API surface is just the beginning. If your team needs access to additional Playground data sets, new endpoints can be added using the same authentication and response patterns already in place. Most approved endpoints are delivered within 3–4 weeks.
