ChatGPT plugins for Education
360 plugins, apps and MCP servers in Education, ranked by official status, traction and completeness. Page 1 of 6.
Students use education apps in ChatGPT to turn notes into flashcards and quizzes, get practice problems, check math with real computation, and find a course or a tutor. Teachers use them to generate practice for a grade or standard and send it to a class. Researchers use them to search a reference library and insert citations into a draft.
Most listings here are apps published by the learning platform itself, such as Quizlet, Khan Academy and Coursera. Since July 9, 2026 each app ships inside a plugin in ChatGPT's Plugin Directory, but the routine is the same: install it, connect your account if asked, and call it by name or with @. Some plugins add skills on top of a connection. OpenAI's Zotero plugin, for example, teaches ChatGPT and Codex how to work with your library through the Zotero desktop app. MCP servers, such as Wolfram's MCP Service or the community arXiv server, are mostly for developers working in Codex or ChatGPT developer mode.
Before you connect an account, check three things:
- What it can write to. Khan Academy can assign practice to your classroom, so review the questions before students see them.
- What sits behind a subscription. Chegg Study shows full expert answers to subscribers, and Wolfram's MCP Service needs a Wolfram subscription API key.
- Who controls access. In Edu and other workspace plans, admins decide which plugins members can install.
Top picks for Education
Generates K-12 math questions by grade, topic or standard and assigns them to your Khan Academy classroom. Best for math teachers who already run a Khan Academy class; the question bank is K-12 math only.
Turns a prompt or your uploaded notes into a Quizlet flashcard set you can customize and study. A good default for students revising for exams, from vocabulary lists to biology terms.
Finds Coursera courses, videos, guided projects and learning paths, and runs interactive sessions where you practice what you just learned. Suits adults building a professional or technical skill who want a structured path rather than one-off answers.
Converts your question into Wolfram Language, evaluates it, and puts the exact result into ChatGPT's answer. Useful for STEM students checking equations, plots, unit conversions and data comparisons.
OpenAI's Zotero plugin searches your Zotero library, inserts citations, exports BibTeX and imports references. It works through the Zotero desktop app, so install it in the ChatGPT desktop app or Codex; it suits students and researchers writing papers.

- Can ChatGPT make flashcards and quizzes?
Yes, through apps. Quizlet builds flashcard sets from a prompt, uploaded notes or a description of what you need. Kahoot! turns a topic or lecture notes into a quiz game, and Wayground generates quizzes and flashcards from teaching material. Install the app from the Plugin Directory, then name it in your message or pick it with
@. See how to install plugins in ChatGPT.- Which ChatGPT apps are useful for teachers?
Khan Academy generates K-12 math practice by grade, topic or standard and assigns it to your Khan Academy classroom. Kahoot! and Wayground turn lesson material into quizzes, and Wayground adds reporting on how students engage. In a school workspace, your admin decides which of these you can install. Review anything generated before you assign it to students.
- Can ChatGPT recommend online courses?
Several course platforms have apps. Coursera Learning suggests courses, videos and learning paths and can quiz you on what you covered. edX searches and compares its courses, professional certificates and degree programs. Udemy turns a learning goal into course recommendations, and DataCamp searches its catalog with no sign-in required. For one-on-one language lessons, italki finds tutors and group classes.
- Is there a ChatGPT plugin for citations and research papers?
OpenAI's Zotero plugin searches your Zotero library, adds citations to a draft and exports BibTeX; it needs the Zotero desktop app. To find papers, the community arXiv MCP server searches arXiv, saves papers as local Markdown and exports citations. It runs on your own machine, so you add it in Codex rather than ChatGPT on the web. See Use plugins and MCP servers in Codex.
