A tutor that agrees when you push back teaches you nothing, so grading here is deterministic against a fixed bank and the tools explicitly tell the model to present the result unsoftened. The scheduling is the other half: questions due for review come first, then your weak areas, so study time lands where accuracy is below 70% rather than where you feel like working. The capstone is the part that goes beyond quizzing — 18 build steps covering the task statements, with coverage tracked as you go.
A certification tutor for the Claude Certified Architect — Foundations exam, run entirely on your machine. Grading is deterministic against a verified question bank, and the tools instruct the model not to agree with a disputed result.
- start_assessment runs an initial assessment one question at a time — 15 questions, 3 per domain — showing the concept handout when a new domain begins
- get_practice_question serves the next question, prioritising items due for review, then weak areas, then new material
- submit_answer grades against the question bank and returns a final result, with follow_up opening the concept, code examples, handouts or a reference project behind it
- get_curriculum shows the domains and task statements with your mastery for each, get_section_details drills into one, and get_weak_areas lists what is below 70% accuracy
- get_study_plan builds a plan from your assessment results and weak areas, and get_progress summarises mastery, accuracy and review status
- start_practice_exam runs a full 60-question exam with the real domain weighting — 16, 11, 12, 12 and 9 — scored 0–1000 with 720 to pass, answered through submit_exam_answer, and get_exam_history compares attempts with per-domain breakdowns
- A guided capstone build: start_capstone_build begins one on a theme of your choice, capstone_build_step drives 18 progressive steps of quiz-and-build, and capstone_build_status reports criteria coverage and quiz performance
- scaffold_project returns instructions for a reference project to practise a concept in code
- get_dashboard opens a local progress dashboard showing mastery, exam history, activity and capstone progress
- reset_progress wipes everything, behind an explicit confirmation, and says outright that it cannot be undone
Nothing to sign up for and no key — it runs as connectry-architect-mcp over stdio, added with a single claude mcp add command. Progress lives locally in ~/.connectry-architect/progress.db with configuration alongside it; the project states there is no cloud, no account and no telemetry. The question bank, handouts and reference projects are bundled with the package, so studying works offline.
One command — npm install -g connectry-architect-mcp
