About Architect Cert MCP

An MCP server that prepares you for the Claude Certified Architect — Foundations exam directly inside Claude. It combines a 390-question bank, lessons-first diagnostic, 30 concept handouts, 6 reference projects, weighted practice exams, a guided capstone build, and a visual dashboard. Grading is deterministic (no LLM judgment) and reviews are scheduled with the SM-2 spaced-repetition algorithm. Exposes 18 tools, 8 prompts, and 3 resource types; everything runs locally with state in a SQLite database.

Simulate the real exam with weighted 60-question practice exams and track score trends over time

Security notes

Runs entirely locally over stdio with no authentication, accounts, cloud, or telemetry. Study progress and config are stored on your machine in ~/.connectry-architect/ (progress.db SQLite in WAL mode and config.json). The dashboard runs on a local HTTP server for Claude Preview.

Architect Cert MCP FAQ

Does it run in the cloud or require an account?

No. Everything runs locally over stdio. There are no accounts, no cloud, and no telemetry — progress is stored on your machine at ~/.connectry-architect/progress.db (SQLite).

How is grading done — does Claude judge my answers?

No LLM is involved in judging correctness. Grading is a pure deterministic function (gradeAnswer), with no partial credit, and the submit_answer tool instructs Claude to relay results verbatim to avoid sycophancy.

What is the npm package name?

connectry-architect-mcp. Install it globally with `npm install -g connectry-architect-mcp`, or add it to Claude Code with `claude mcp add connectry-architect -- connectry-architect-mcp`.

Is this an official Anthropic product?

No. It is built by Connectry Labs as free, open-source (MIT) exam-prep tooling for Anthropic's Claude Certified Architect certification; it is not published by Anthropic.
