How to Use the Udemy MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I check my total course performance using Udemy and Windsurf?

Windsurf handles this by first calling instructorcourses to map everything. Then, it executes instructorreviews across all those courses. You get one consolidated view of your overall teaching metrics.

Q: Can I use Udemy and Windsurf for a single course deep dive?

Yep. You pass the specific Course ID to both courses and coursereviews. This gives you the official details plus all available public reviews, letting you compare them side-by-side.

Q: Does this MCP Server help me list all my classes taught on Udemy using Windsurf?

Absolutely. The instructorcourses tool specifically lists every course associated with your authenticated instructor account, giving you a complete inventory of what's available.

Q: If I need to analyze multiple user questions from Udemy, which tools should I use with Windsurf?

You'll want instructorqa. This tool collects all Q&A questions across every single course you teach. It’s the best way to get a comprehensive view of common student pain points.

Windsurf and the MCP Server

Cascade uses the `instructor_courses` tool to list every class taught by the instructor. After that, it can chain calls using `instructor_reviews` to pull feedback from all those courses. It's ideal for analyzing an entire body of work without needing multiple prompts. Cascade takes your high-level goal—like 'get a sentiment score on my last 10 classes'—and handles the whole sequence.

Analyzing Single Udemy Course Feedback

Need to check out how one specific course is doing? Use `courses` with the ID to get basic details. Then, run `course_reviews` against that same ID to pull all public feedback for just that class. This setup lets you quickly vet a single product listing without having to manually gather data points.

Retrieving Instructor Communication Data

The `instructor_messages` tool pulls direct messages left for the instructor, giving context on engagement. You can pair this with `instructor_qa`, which lists questions across all your courses. Running these tools together lets you understand not just what users are asking (QA), but how they're talking to you directly via private channels.
