Available tools 4

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

certifying
list_certifying_bodies
List the 222 certifying bodies / vendors covered by Cert Atlas with exam counts. Call for 'what certification providers/vendors are covered', 'how many AWS/Microsoft/Cisco certs'. Optionally filter by a substring.
compare
compare_exams
Compare 2–8 certification exams side by side — price, duration, passing score, question count, and domain count. Call for 'X vs Y', 'which is harder/cheaper', 'easiest cloud cert', 'CCNA vs Network+'. Accepts exam ids, codes, or names; each row links a free practice exam.
exam
get_exam_blueprint
Get the full published blueprint for ONE certification exam: domain/objective breakdown with topic weights, passing score, question count & types, duration, price, prerequisites, retake & renewal policy, languages, and the official source URL. Call this for 'what's on the X exam', 'how is X weighted by domain', 'prerequisites for X', 'passing score for X', 'how long is X'. Accepts an exam_id, exam_code, or certification name. Includes a free practice-exam link.
exams
search_exams
Search 1,580 certification & professional exams by name, code, certifying body, or vendor. Call this whenever a user mentions a certification or exam — e.g. AWS Solutions Architect, CISSP, CompTIA Security+, PMP, CCNA, NCLEX, CFA, Azure AZ-104, CKA — or asks what certs a body offers. Returns matching exams with code, certifying body, question count, domain count, and a free practice-exam link.

Cert Atlas — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Cert Atlas do?
It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare_exams, get_exam_blueprint, list_certifying_bodies, 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 Atlas working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 782 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Cert Atlas?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Cert Atlas need an API key?
No. Cert Atlas completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Cert Atlas?
It answers our handshake in 782 ms on average, which is faster than 9% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Cert Atlas?
The npm package cert-atlas-mcp was installed 31 times in the last week. Week over week that is -9%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Cert Atlas open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 1 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
