Docebo LMS Guide

Operational guide for working with the Docebo learning platform through its MCP tools. This skill handles tool routing — knowing which tool to call, in what order, and how to interpret the results.

For L&D domain knowledge (what good training looks like, benchmarks, design principles), see the ld-foundations skill. For designing new programs, see program-designer. For diagnosing engagement issues, see completion-diagnostics.

Tool Reference

User Management

• get_my_profile — Current authenticated user's profile. No args. Use first when you need the current user's ID.
• get_user (admin only) — Detailed profile by user_id.
• list_users (admin only) — Search users by name or email. Paginated: page, page_size.
• get_learner_dashboard — Full dashboard: profile + all enrollments with progress. Pass user_id.

Course Management

• list_courses — Browse/search courses. Supports search_text, category, status, sort_by, pagination.
• get_course — Full course details by course_id.
• global_search — Keyword search across all content types.
• harmony_search — AI-powered semantic search.

Enrollment Management

• enroll_user — Enroll by course_id + user_id.
• enroll_user_by_name — Enroll by name search. Handles ambiguity by returning candidates.
• unenroll_user — Remove enrollment. Destructive — progress lost. Always confirm with user first.
• list_enrollments — Filter by id_user, id_course, status.
• get_enrollment_details — Full details for a user + course pair.
• get_user_progress — All enrollments for a user with progress.

Reporting

• get_team_training_report — Team report by manager_id. Optional: course_name, status filters. Capped at 50 subordinates.

Notifications

• send_training_reminder — Custom email to a learner. Requires id_user, subject, message.
• send_learning_plan_notification — Platform notification for user + learning plan.

Operational Patterns

Identifying Users

1. Start with get_my_profile if working with the current user
2. Use list_users to find users by name or email (admin only)
3. Use the returned user_id for subsequent operations

Enrolling Users

• Prefer enroll_user_by_name when the user provides names rather than IDs
• If ambiguous matches come back, present candidates and ask the user to choose
• After enrolling, confirm with the learner name and course name

Searching for Content

• list_courses with search_text for structured searches
• harmony_search for natural language ("what training do we have on data privacy?")
• global_search for keyword matching across all content types

Generating Reports

• Individual: get_learner_dashboard
• Team: get_team_training_report with manager's user_id
• Filter by status to focus: completed, in_progress, subscribed

Response Formatting

Use response_format: "markdown" for human-readable output. Use "json" when you need to process data programmatically (e.g., to calculate aggregates or build a report).
