Udemy is betting that learning content will be better utilized when integrated into workflows and AI-driven applications.
The company said it will launch a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that's designed to give enterprises the ability to embed personalized learning into work tools.
According to Udemy, education content can be embedded into AI tools such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, Anthropic's Claude, Perplexity and Cursor.
Udemy's approach is worth noting given that enterprise training and upskilling programs are generally disjointed and segmented from day-to-day work. It wouldn't be surprising if Coursera, which offers business training courses, and Accenture, which acquired Udacity, Ascendient Learning and TalentSprint to build out its LearnVantage platform, launch MCP servers to embed into productivity tools.
- Coursera's outlook highlights how genAI reskilling will be lumpy
- Accenture goes big on AI reskilling, acquires Udacity, launches LearnVantage
Udemy MCP Server will include the following:
- On-demand support via micro-courses and curated lessons.
- Integration with pre-built MCP connectors for existing AI tools.
- Content matching tools to embed learning content into coding environments and CRM systems.
- Contextualization by role and business priorities.
The company said Udemy MCP Server will launch in August with Udemy Business customers and partners getting early access.
