What is Architect Cert?

Architect Cert is a free, open-source MCP server that turns Claude into your personal certification tutor for the Claude Certified Architect — Foundations exam. No courses, no slides, no video lectures — just ask Claude and study.

It ships with:

• 390 scenario-based questions across all 5 exam domains and 30 task statements
• Interactive clickable UI — answer questions with A/B/C/D buttons, select follow-ups, pick domains with checkboxes — all inside Claude
• Lessons-first assessment — learn each domain's concepts before being tested on them
• Guided capstone build — shape your own project, then build it step-by-step while learning every task statement hands-on
• 30 concept handouts — one per task statement, with code examples and common mistakes
• 6 reference projects — runnable TypeScript codebases demonstrating each domain in practice
• Practice exams — 60-question weighted exams with history tracking and improvement trends
• Progress dashboard — glassmorphism visual dashboard with mastery levels, exam history chart, activity timeline
• Visual progress tracking — todo checklists track your progress through assessments, exams, and capstone builds in real time
• Interactive follow-ups — wrong answer? Click to see code examples, concept lessons, handouts, or reference projects
• PDF generation — branded handout PDFs with the Architect Cert logo for offline study
• Spaced repetition — SM-2 algorithm schedules reviews at optimal intervals
• Deterministic grading — pure function grading, no LLM judgment, zero sycophancy

Everything runs locally. No cloud, no accounts, no telemetry.

Learning Path

Architect Cert is designed to follow a natural progression. Here's the recommended order:

1. Assessment        → Baseline your knowledge across all 5 domains
       ↓
2. Learn concepts    → Read handouts for weak domains before practicing
       ↓
3. Adaptive practice → Questions prioritized by weakness, reviews, new material
       ↓
4. Follow-ups        → Dive into code examples, concept lessons, reference projects
       ↓
5. Capstone build    → Build your own project covering all 30 task statements
       ↓
6. Practice exams    → Simulate the real exam (60 questions, scored out of 1000)
       ↓
7. Review & repeat   → Dashboard tracks mastery, spaced repetition handles scheduling

You can jump to any stage at any time — the system adapts. But the path above gives you the most structured experience.

Interactive Experience

Architect Cert uses Claude's built-in interactive UI to make studying feel natural. No typing answer letters — just click.

Clickable Answer Selection

Every question presents clickable A/B/C/D buttons directly in Claude. You tap your answer instead of typing it. If the question includes code in the scenario, a code preview appears alongside each option so you can reference it while deciding.

Follow-Up Actions

After every answer, clickable follow-up buttons appear:

After a wrong answer:

• Got it, next question
• Explain with a code example
• Show me the concept lesson
• Show me the handout
• Show me in the reference project

After a correct answer:

• Next question
• Explain why the others are wrong

Multi-Select Domain Picker

When requesting a study plan, you can select multiple domains to focus on using checkboxes — no need to list them out by name.

Visual Progress Checklists

Long flows like the assessment (15 questions), practice exams (60 questions), and capstone build (18 steps) create a visual todo checklist that updates in real time as you progress. You always know where you are and what's left.

Skip & Other

Every question selection includes a Skip button to move on and an Other option to ask a free-form question. If you use "Other" to ask something, Claude answers your question and then re-presents the same quiz question — you never lose your place. "Skip" moves to the next question; skipped questions remain unanswered and will reappear later.
