# AI plugins

> Use the ChatGPT plugin or Claude connector to access Knowledge Graph data.

Use AI plugins like our ChatGPT plugin or Claude connector to reference Knowledge Graph's comprehensive K-12 education data directly in your conversations.

Instead of manually looking up standards codes or scanning lengthy documents, you can ask ChatGPT or Claude questions about what a standard entails, how it's broken down into learning components, and what prerequisites it requires.

Both AI plugins rely on the [Knowledge Graph MCP Server](/knowledge-graph/using-knowledge-graph/mcp-server) to retrieve the relevant data.
