Available tools 6

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

exams

list_exams

Without a vendor, list the certification vendors covered and how many exams each has. With a vendor (a name such as "Microsoft Azure" or a code such as "aws", "iapp", "isc2"), list that vendor's exams. Use it when the user asks which vendors or exams are covered.

search_exams

Find certification exams by official code (e.g. "SAA-C03", "CIPP/E"), name (e.g. "Azure Administrator") or topic (e.g. "GDPR"). Returns the matching practice sets with their size, free questions and price. Use it when the user names an exam or certification, to see whether it is covered and get its set_id.

answer

check_answer

Check the user's answer to a question from get_practice_questions. Use it when the user answers one of those questions. `selected` is the option letters the user chose, e.g. ["B"] or ["A", "D"]. Returns whether it is right, the correct letters and the explanation.

exam

get_exam_details

Describe one exam: the vendor's real exam (official code, question count, fee, domains and their weights) and our practice set for it (size, free questions, price, timed mock exam). `exam` is a set_id from search_exams or an official exam code. Use it when the user asks about an exam's format, length, fee or domains, or about our practice set for it.

practice

get_practice_questions

Return up to five free sample multiple-choice questions for one certification exam, each with its correct option letters and a written explanation. Use it when the user wants to practise, be quizzed or test themselves on an exam this server covers. `exam` is a set_id from search_exams or an official exam code such as "SAA-C03".

study

get_study_paths

Recommended exam order for each career role at one vendor (e.g. "aws", "Microsoft Azure"), from first exam to last. Use it when the user asks which exam to take first, or in what order, for a role.

Cert Made Easy — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Cert Made Easy do?

It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_answer, get_exam_details, get_practice_questions, get_study_paths, list_exams, search_exams. 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 Cert Made Easy working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 200 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Cert Made Easy?

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 Cert Made Easy need an API key?

No. Cert Made Easy completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Cert Made Easy?

It answers our handshake in 200 ms on average, which is faster than 70% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
