Unmeasured means there is not enough evidence to decide. How these checks work

Inspect individual checks 22 recorded

Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 636 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-06-18, serverInfo.name aicertificates-study.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 5 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-06-18. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 636 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 636 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    1 of 1 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

  • Not measured
    Free tier cited

    No publisher quote has been checked.

Tools

  • Pass
    Tools described

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass
    Valid input schemas

    Every inputSchema is a JSON Schema object.

  • Pass
    Parameters documented

    11 of 11 parameters have a description (100%). The bar is 80%.

  • Pass
    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Pass
    Website matches publisher

    The website host matches the reverse-domain namespace.

  • Fail
    Source repo linked

    No repository URL is on file.

  • Not measured
    Repo owner matches

    This namespace is not an io.github login, so the owner comparison does not apply.

  • Pass
    Recently updated

    Updated 2026-08-25T16:31:20.326551Z, within 180 days.

  • Not measured
    Open-source licence

Tools 5

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.

Discovered
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.

Discovered
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.

Discovered
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.

Discovered
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.
