Available tools 5

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

answer

check_answer

Grades the user's choice and returns an explanation for EVERY option, including the ones they did not pick. On this exam two options are frequently defensible and only one is credited, so the reasons the wrong options lose are the part worth teaching.

exams

list_exams

The Claude certifications covered here, with exam codes, item counts, fees and the full domain list with published weights. Call this first to get valid exam slugs.

open

open_study

Open or resume the study page for an exam, optionally focused on a domain or a sub-objective. Use this when someone asks to study rather than to be quizzed in chat: the page gives them a visible question they answer themselves, and once it is open a richer set of tools appears for reading and steering that screen. Returns the URL; a browser agent should navigate there.

practice

get_practice_question

Returns one original practice question with its options and no answer key. Present it to the user and let them choose before calling check_answer. Pass every id already served in exclude_ids — this server is stateless and remembers nothing.

progress

my_progress

Their recorded history for one exam, broken down by blueprint domain with the weakest first, plus how their misses compare with everyone else's on the same free-form questions. Call this at the start of a study session to decide what to drill, and after a run of questions to show what moved. It names the domain to pass to get_practice_question, and when their misses follow the crowd's favorite wrong answers it says to drill those with focus: "traps". Only a signed-in account has history; anonymous callers are told so rather than shown zeros.

AI Certificates — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can AI Certificates do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_answer, get_practice_question, list_exams, my_progress, open_study. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is AI Certificates working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 19 of 92 checks got a reply (20.7%), average response time 365 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists AI Certificates as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect AI Certificates?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does AI Certificates need an API key?

No. AI Certificates completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is AI Certificates?

It answers our handshake in 365 ms on average, which is faster than 37% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
