Use Shog in Claude or ChatGPT
Updated 30 Oct 2026
Connect
Open Integrations → MCP → Connect. Choose ChatGPT or Claude to open Shog’s published listing. Sign in as the account owner, select one eligible company and approve only the permissions you need. Administrators can read guidance. Manual endpoint instructions remain under Advanced setup; no API key is needed.
Your AI provider receives data covered by the permissions you approve. Review its data controls before connecting. Company switching does not change a connection’s company. Account-course permissions are separately labelled because they cover private courses across the account.
What you can ask
- Which employees have overdue training or pending evidence?
- Which certificates expire in the next 30 days?
- Prepare employee changes or a CSV import for my review.
- Prepare assignments with languages, deadlines and cost.
- Prepare a private course draft or a course from a PDF.
Tools depend on permissions and account entitlements. Existing connections remain read-only until you reconnect and approve more access. Lists are paginated; use training summaries for complete company counts.
Review proposed work
Employee identity, role and status changes, imports, assignments and course requests return a Shog review link. Open it while signed in, inspect the affected records and approve or reject. Pending requests expire after 24 hours. If records or prices change, review the updated proposal before approving again.
With employee-write permission, the assistant can directly change one employee’s job title, department or preferred language using the current record revision. Other employee changes require review.
CSV imports accept up to 1 MB and 1,000 rows. Upload in Shog, map columns and select the exact rows. Resolve identity conflicts explicitly; Shog never silently merges people. Bulk jobs report per-row outcomes and do not repeat successful rows on retry.
Assignments follow existing checkout and activation. Approval does not charge a saved payment method or immediately send invitations. Course changes save private drafts only. PDF preparation accepts up to 100 MB and consumes an existing preparation allowance after approval; generation has a separate review and uses existing allowances or checkout. Export PowerPoint to PDF first.
Stay in control
- Requests shows work and outcomes. Connections lets you reduce permissions or disconnect. Adding permissions requires OAuth approval.
- Up to five connections per company, 20 pending company requests and 10 pending account-course requests shared across connections. Connections last up to 90 days, with a 30-day refresh inactivity limit.
- Security changes invalidate access and unapproved requests. Ordinary sign-out does not disconnect. Accepted jobs follow existing cancellation rules.
- Safe activity metadata is retained for 30 days, without document contents or personal tool payloads. Proposals and row results are encrypted. Housekeeping purges expired, rejected and invalidated proposals; completed payloads are retained for up to 30 days. Accepted course sources follow normal course retention rules.
- Ask Shog remains the documentation assistant. Opening connection instructions or copying prompts makes no AI request and uses none of its allowance.
Troubleshooting
Missing tools can mean unapproved permissions, missing entitlements or a provider tool list awaiting publication. Check permissions and reconnect from the provider listing. After a timeout, check request status or retry with the same operation ID rather than creating duplicate work. Review failed rows before preparing corrections.
