The Brisk Connector lets Claude and ChatGPT tap directly into Brisk Teaching's tools. Using the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the connector lets you ask an AI tool, in plain language, to build Boost activities, craft quizzes and lesson plans, set up batch feedback assignments, brainstorm activity ideas, and align everything to trusted academic standards. The AI does the work inside your Brisk account and hands back ready-to-use links and high quality instructional materials.
Before you start
To use the Brisk Connector, you'll need:
- An account with Claude or ChatGPT.
- A Brisk Teaching account (sign in with the same account you use at app.briskteaching.com).
- A connected Google account in Brisk for any tool that produces a Google Doc or Google Form (such as lesson plans, worksheets, and quizzes).
Some features draw on your Brisk plan's limits. A few tools (batch feedback, quizzes) use free credits on the free plan. Paid Brisk plans remove these credit limits.

Example uses
Build a student activity
"Create a Brisk tutor activity for 7th grade on the causes of the American Revolution."
"Make a debate activity using Brisk for high school biology on whether viruses are alive."
"Create a Brisk exit ticket activity for today's 6th grade lesson on ratios."
Returns an edit link (to refine the activity), a student link (to share with your class), and a monitor link. Activities start as drafts. Creating a Boost activity never publishes it to students. You stay in control until you share the link.
Create teaching materials
"Use Brisk to write a 45-minute 5th-grade lesson plan on fractions, aligned to Common Core."
"Create a 10-question Brisk multiple-choice quiz on photosynthesis for 8th grade as a Google Form."
"Make a Brisk sub plan for tomorrow's 9th-grade English class."
Brisk creates the material directly into a Google Doc or Google Form and returns the link. (Make sure your Google account is connected in Brisk.)
Set up grading with Batch Feedback
"Set up a Brisk batch feedback assignment for my 10th-grade essays on The Great Gatsby — focus on thesis clarity and use of evidence, aligned to my rubric."
"Create an assignment for 4th grade book reports, using Brisk glows and grows feedback"
Creates the assignment shell and gives you a link. Add your students' work in the Brisk web app, then run the AI feedback there. Click here for more information on Batch Feedback.
Brainstorm before you build
"Give me some Brisk activity ideas for teaching persuasive writing to 10th graders."
"What are some engaging Brisk activities I could run for a 3rd grade unit on community helpers?"
"I have 15 minutes left in my lesson plan, what quick Brisk activity ideas work for reviewing 5th grade decimals?"
"Brainstorm Brisk activities for teaching the scientific method to 6th graders who learn best with hands-on interaction."
Returns a set of activity ideas. Pick one and click Create to create it right away. You can also click to see more teaching ideas in Brisk.
Align to standards
"I teach 5th grade math in Texas. Use Brisk to align that lesson plan to the right TEKS standards."
"Create a Brisk essay rubric aligned to Common Core ELA standards for 11th grade."
"Use Brisk to find 8th grade Florida math standards relevant to linear equations, then create a worksheet aligned to these standards."
Looks up the matching standards in Brisk's database and confirms them with you before applying them — so your materials reference real, official standard codes.
Tips for best results
- Be specific about grade level and language. Most tools need a grade level. If you don’t include one, the AI will ask rather than guess.
What you can do with the Brisk Connector
You don't need to name the tools. Just describe what you want, and the AI will pick the right one.
| Tool | What it does |
| Create Boost activity | Builds an interactive, AI-powered student activity (tutor, quiz-me, debate, exit ticket, writing coach, and more) as a draft, complete with learning objectives and guardrails. |
| Share Boost activity with students | Marks a Boost activity's setup complete so it's ready to share. |
| Generate activity ideas | Suggests a set of Boost activity ideas for a topic — no commitment until you create one. |
| Create teaching resource | Creates a lesson plan, quiz, rubric, worksheet, sub plan, IEP support, and more, as a Google Doc or Google Form. |
| Set up Batch Feedback | Creates an assignment shell for grading a class set of student work (you add submissions and run feedback in the Brisk web app). |
| List standards | Browses Brisk's standards database so your materials can be aligned to the right framework, state, and grade. |
| Get teacher context | Reads your class names, grades, and subjects (never student data) to tailor suggestions. |
There are also read-back tools (Get Boost activity, Get teaching resource) that let it check on and play back materials while they generate.
