Install skills
A skill needs two things: the Sessionboard connector, which gives the assistant Sessionboard’s tools as you, and the skill, which tells it how to do a whole job with them. Connect first, then add skills.
Why use it
Section titled “Why use it”Skills are ready-made instructions that tell Claude or ChatGPT exactly how to work with your Sessionboard data — building agendas, chasing speaker tasks, reviewing submissions, reporting on registrations and more. Each skill is validated against the MCP server so every step it describes is something the assistant can actually do. Installing a skill takes one click from the directory; the assistant asks for your approval before making any change.
1. Connect Sessionboard
Section titled “1. Connect Sessionboard”Every assistant connects the same way: it opens a Sessionboard sign-in, you pick your organization and choose Authorize. There is no API token to paste. Follow the guide for your assistant:
Use the server for the region you sign in to:
| Your admin login URL | MCP server URL |
|---|---|
appv2.sessionboard.com | https://mcp.sessionboard.com/mcp |
appv2-eu.sessionboard.com | https://mcp-eu.sessionboard.com/mcp |
appv2-me.sessionboard.com | https://mcp-me.sessionboard.com/mcp |
2. Add skills
Section titled “2. Add skills”Claude (web and desktop)
Section titled “Claude (web and desktop)”Turn on skills
Skills need Code execution and file creation on, under Settings → Capabilities. On Team and Enterprise plans an Owner controls this under Organization settings → Plugins & skills.
Download a skill
Open the skill’s page in this section and choose Download skill (.zip). Keep the zip as it is: its folder is the skill.
Upload it
In Claude, open Customize → Skills, choose +, then Create skill → Upload a skill, and pick the zip.
Use it
Start a chat with the Sessionboard connector on and ask in your own words, for example “Open our call for speakers for the Spring Summit”. Claude picks the skill that fits.
Claude Code
Section titled “Claude Code”The Sessionboard plugin carries the connector for your region and every organizer skill. Download the one for your region:
Unzip it, then in Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add ./sessionboard-claude-plugin/plugin install sessionboard@sessionboardClaude Code signs you in to Sessionboard the first time a tool runs. Skills you uploaded to your Claude account also appear in Claude Code when you sign in with the same account.
To add skills without the plugin, unzip every skill into ~/.claude/skills and connect Sessionboard with claude mcp add --transport http sessionboard https://mcp.sessionboard.com/mcp (your region’s URL).
ChatGPT
Section titled “ChatGPT”Connect the Sessionboard app first (Connect ChatGPT). Then use a skill one of two ways:
- For one job: on the skill’s page choose Open in ChatGPT. It starts a chat with the skill’s starter prompt. Turn on Sessionboard for that chat if ChatGPT asks.
- For a job you repeat: create a ChatGPT project, open the skill’s page, copy The full instructions into the project’s instructions, and use the Sessionboard app in that project’s chats.
Other assistants
Section titled “Other assistants”Copilot, Gemini, Cursor and any other assistant connected to the Sessionboard MCP server can follow a skill too. If it reads skill folders (a SKILL.md with name and description at the top), unzip the skill into its skills folder. If it does not, paste the skill’s full instructions into the chat or the assistant’s custom instructions.
Keep skills up to date
Section titled “Keep skills up to date”Skills change when Sessionboard adds tools. Download a skill again to update it, or reinstall the Claude Code plugin. Each skill’s page always has the current version.
