Claude + Kajabi: What the Integration Can (and Can't) Do in 2026
No — there’s no official Claude Kajabi connector, and no Kajabi MCP server, official or community. What changed is on Kajabi’s side: since Kajabi launched a public REST API in September 2025, the long-running “Kajabi is Zapier-only, it has no API” story is finally dead. But an API isn’t a Claude integration on its own — nobody has shipped an MCP server that wraps it, so there’s no plug-and-play way to add Kajabi to Claude’s connectors. And even if one existed, it would carry the limit every Claude integration shares: it only works inside a conversation you start. Nothing watches your Kajabi site, nothing fires on a new purchase, and nothing runs while you’re away.
Here’s exactly what’s available today, where the limits bite, and what to use if you want Kajabi work that runs on its own.
What actually exists: a public API, but no Claude connector
The real news is the API. Kajabi’s Public API shipped on September 16, 2025 with docs at developers.kajabi.com, replacing years of Zapier-only reality. Concretely:
- It’s a REST API with API-key auth. You create a key in Settings → Public API — name it, pick the account user and permissions, and Create (you can rotate or delete it later).
- It’s plan-gated. The API is included in Kajabi’s newer Pro plan, or available as a $25/month add-on on lower plans. It is not free or universal.
- It covers the core objects a course business runs on — contacts, offers, purchases, and members.
What does not exist:
- No official Claude connector. Kajabi is not in Anthropic’s connectors directory.
- No MCP server, official or community. No vendor-shipped endpoint and no maintained Kajabi MCP repo wraps that new API yet. The “Kajabi MCP” explainer articles floating around are conceptual, not shipped software.
- The third-party “Anthropic ↔ Kajabi” listings you’ll see from automation platforms like ottokit are their glue between the two products — not an Anthropic directory connector or a way to drive Kajabi from inside Claude.
So the honest status is: Kajabi finally has the plumbing an integration needs, but no one has connected that plumbing to Claude.
The limits that actually matter
Because there’s no MCP server, there’s nothing to plug into Claude out of the box — you’d have to build and run a custom MCP server wrapping Kajabi’s REST API yourself. And even if you did, the shape would be “an assistant you operate,” not “an agent that runs.” The same limits apply:
- No triggers, no monitoring. Claude only works inside a conversation you start. There’s no “when someone buys the course, send the welcome sequence” or “when a member joins, add them to the CRM.” Nothing fires on a Kajabi event — you have to be there, prompting.
- Conversation-only. Claude answers in the moment; it doesn’t sit on your Kajabi site watching for new purchases or churned members and acting on them. Close the chat and nothing continues.
- Laptop-bound for anything scheduled. The nearest thing to “running on its own” is Claude Cowork’s scheduled tasks, which fire on a fixed clock, not on inbox events. That’s not an always-on, event-driven course-business agent.
So Claude is useful for reasoning about your Kajabi business — drafting a launch email, planning a curriculum — but it isn’t built to “onboard every new student the moment they enroll.”
If you want Kajabi work that runs on its own: Carly
The moment you want something to happen around Kajabi without you in the chat — send a welcome sequence the instant someone buys, tag and route a new member, chase a failed payment, roll up weekly enrollment numbers — you’ve crossed past what Claude does today.
That’s where Carly fits. Carly is an AI executive assistant built to act on triggers, not just answer in a chat:
- Fires on events and schedules, 24/7, in the cloud — when a new purchase or enrollment lands, Carly acts; your laptop doesn’t need to be awake.
- Ties Kajabi to the rest of your stack — route a new student into your CRM, add onboarding tasks, and drop revenue numbers into a Sheet as one workflow.
- Actually sends and updates — drafts and sends email (Gmail and Outlook) with attachments, files and labels, manages tasks, updates your CRM, and records meetings.
- Builds the workflow for you — tell it “I’d like a system that welcomes every new student and adds them to my CRM” in plain English; it interviews you, then builds it with you. No prompt engineering.
AI agents start at $35/month, and steps in a workflow that don’t use AI run free and unlimited. Carly natively integrates with Kajabi.
Claude vs Carly
| Claude | Carly | |
|---|---|---|
| Reason about your course business | Yes | Yes |
| Read/write Kajabi data | Only via a custom MCP you build | Yes (native) |
| Acts on triggers / events | No | Yes |
| Onboards new students on its own | No | Yes |
| Works while laptop is closed | No | Yes (cloud) |
| Sends email as part of the flow | No (Gmail draft-only) | Yes (Gmail + Outlook) |
| Pricing | Pro $20 / Max $100–$200 | AI agents from $35/mo |
Claude is a strong thinking partner for your Kajabi business. Carly is a teammate that onboards, tags, and follows up on its own.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Claude work with Kajabi?
Not directly. There’s no official Claude Kajabi connector and no Kajabi MCP server — official or community — so there’s no plug-and-play way to drive Kajabi from inside Claude. Kajabi does now have a public REST API (launched September 2025, on the Pro plan or as a $25/month add-on), but someone would have to build a custom MCP server around it for Claude to use, and even then it would only work inside a chat you start.
Doesn’t Kajabi have no API?
Not anymore. That was true for years, but Kajabi launched a public REST API in September 2025 with docs at developers.kajabi.com. You generate an API key in Settings → Public API. It’s gated to the Pro plan or a $25/month add-on. So the “Kajabi is Zapier-only” line is out of date.
How do I connect Claude to Kajabi automatically?
You can’t do it inside Claude today — there are no triggers and no shipped connector. For automatic, event-based Kajabi work (welcome new buyers, tag members, chase failed payments), use an agent platform like Carly, which fires on events 24/7 in the cloud and integrates with Kajabi natively.
What if I want Claude to onboard every new student for me?
That’s outside what Claude does — it responds inside a chat and doesn’t act on Kajabi events. Carly can welcome each new student, add them to your CRM, create tasks, and send email the moment they enroll. AI agents start at $35/month.

See what people say
"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
