# LearnDash MCP FAQ

### **Where should I give feedback on MCP?**

- For **prompt outcomes** (what worked, what failed): Use the MCP feedback form →[ https://go.learndash.com/promptfeedback](https://go.learndash.com/promptfeedback).
- For **bugs, feature requests, or general support**: Use standard LearnDash support channels.

### **Can LearnDash, Liquid Web, or StellarWP see my prompts or data?**

No. LearnDash, Liquid Web, and StellarWP never have access to your prompts, responses, or data.

Who sees your data depends on:  
The **MCP server** you’re using (local vs. hosted)  
The **Agentic AI Client** connected (Cursor, Claude, Mistral, etc.)  
  
Your site’s hosting environment and configuration:  
**Agentic** **AI Client (local server)** → Data stays on your machine except where your LLM provider requires API access.  
**Angie (hosted MCP)** → Prompts flow through Elementor’s hosted MCP infrastructure, not LearnDash.

### **How is personally identifiable information (PII) protected?**

PII has the same protection as your site’s REST API connections. LearnDash never sees your PII. PII privacy depends on the AI Client you choose.

### **Do I need a WordPress application password?**

Only for **external MCP servers** (like Cursor or a custom MCP).

- **External AI Clients (like Cursor or Claude)** → Application password required
- **Angie** → No password required (hosted server handles authentication)

### **Can I connect multiple tools to the same LLM?**

Yes. You can reuse the same application password for multiple MCP-enabled tools.

Examples:

- The Events Calendar MCP
- GiveWP MCP
- LearnDash MCP

Each tool connects independently but can use the same application path.

### **Does MCP replace other LearnDash AI features?**

No. MCP is separate from Virtual Instructor and course generation features. Those continue to exist and will evolve independently.

### **What about custom labels?**

MCP automatically recognizes and uses your custom terminology (e.g., “Program” instead of “Course”) in prompts. No special configuration is required.

### **Will anything break if I use MCP?**

AI agents connected via MCP can take real actions on your site. While they usually follow prompts correctly, they can:  
Misinterpret vague instructions  
Delete or change the wrong content  
**Always back up before prompting.** Take additional backups as you go so you can roll back without starting over.

### **Will anything break when I update LearnDash?**

Major version updates (like 5.0) can cause breaking changes to API responses and methods.  
Best practices:  
Back up before updating  
Test in staging  
Review the changelog for REST API updates if your site uses custom integrations

### **Can I use ChatGPT with MCP?**

Yes, but only through a local or external MCP server.

- **External AI Client** → Can connect to OpenAI’s ChatGPT via API with your own credentials
- **Angie** → Does not use ChatGPT; it uses its own hosted model
