August 2026 Release Notes for Skilljar by Gainsight

Localized Learner Emails

Skilljar now sends key account-related transactional emails in a learner's preferred language when that language is supported by your organization.

The following emails are included:

• Password reset
• Email verification
• Email change confirmation
• Enrollment and domain invitations

Skilljar selects the email language based on the learner's saved language preference. For email change confirmations, Skilljar can also use the language the learner is currently viewing. If no learner-specific language is available, Skilljar uses your organization's configured language priority.

For more information on localization email, refer to the Localization and Language Packs article.

Skilljar MCP Server Supports OAuth Connections [Beta]

The Skilljar Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server now supports OAuth authentication. You can connect Skilljar to supported AI assistants without creating or copying API credentials.

OAuth support expands access beyond command-line interface tools, such as Claude Code and Cursor, to supported web, desktop, and enterprise AI assistants.

Supported Platforms

You can connect the Skilljar MCP Server to the following platforms:

• Claude.ai web and desktop with a Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise plan.
• ChatGPT with a Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise, or Edu plan.
• Microsoft Copilot through Copilot Studio.
• Google Gemini CLI and Gemini Enterprise with partial support.

On Team, Business, and Enterprise plans, a workspace administrator typically must add the connector before individual users can connect.

Supported use cases

After you connect the Skilljar MCP Server, you can use conversational prompts to:

• Create courses that contain HTML lessons.
• Update lesson content, titles, and order.
• Enroll learners by email address or group.
• Create and organize learner groups.
• Translate courses into other languages.

Browse ready-to-use prompts for the Skilljar MCP Server in the new MCP Library. Skilljar by Gainsight will add more prompts and skills as Skilljar supports additional endpoints.

Migrate an Existing Connection

The earlier setup put API credentials directly in your MCP configuration file, using X-Client-Id and X-Client-Secret headers or HTTP Basic authentication. 

To move to OAuth authentication:

1. Open your MCP configuration.
2. Delete the headers block and all stored Skilljar credentials.
3. Keep only the Skilljar MCP server URL: https://mcp.skilljar.com/mcp
4. Reconnect the Skilljar MCP server.
5. Sign in with your Skilljar Dashboard account when Skilljar opens in your browser.
6. Review and approve the requested access.
7. Rotate or delete the previous API v2 client secret in the Skilljar Dashboard.

The OAuth connection also supports assistants that accept OAuth authentication only, such as Claude on the web and ChatGPT. These assistants did not support the previous header-based setup.

Troubleshoot the Connection

Use the following guidance when the connection does not work as expected:

• A tool is missing, or a request returns a permission error. Access follows your Skilljar permissions, so check the role assigned to your dashboard user.
• The connection prompts you again later. Tokens expire and refresh automatically, but revoking a connection or changing your Skilljar account requires signing in again.
• The URL shows an error in a browser. That is expected. The address is for connector settings, not for browsing.
