Academy MCP is an MCP server (Model Context Protocol) that connects Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP-capable clients to your StudioMeyer Academy account. Your AI sees where you are across the 6 levels, recommends the next lesson, runs quizzes, and uses spaced repetition to keep older content fresh. 12 tools, plug in an API key, done.

How do I install Academy MCP?

First sign in at studiomeyer.academy (magic-link, free), generate an API key under /dashboard/keys. Then in Claude Code: 'claude mcp add academy -s user --env ACADEMY_API_KEY=academy_... -- npx -y mcp-academy'. Claude Desktop and Cursor work the same way via their JSON configs. Snippets are on this page.

Do I still need the Academy website?

You can complete the full curriculum through Academy MCP — reading, quizzes, checkpoint, certificate. The website remains useful for the Discord community, Arena bot battles, and the live dashboard. If you want a pure solo learning loop in your terminal with your AI, Academy MCP is enough.

What data does the server share?

Every tool call is a direct HTTPS request to academy.studiomeyer.io, authenticated with your Bearer token. The server stores nothing locally. Data lives in the Academy on Supabase Frankfurt — GDPR compliant, SOC2 Type II, Row Level Security per tenant. Revoke any token anytime at studiomeyer.academy/dashboard/keys.

Which clients does Academy MCP support?

All MCP-capable clients: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code (with the MCP extension), Windsurf, Zed, Codex. The server runs as a stdio process via npx. One API key — every client shares the same progress.

MCP Server

Academy MCP — your AI knows where you are in the curriculum.

Open-source MCP server that connects Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP-capable client to your StudioMeyer Academy account. 12 tools — lessons, quizzes, spaced repetition, tutor, certificates. One API key, done.

Create an API key View on npmFree. Open source (MIT). Works with any MCP-capable AI.

Why it exists

Tutorials are static. Your AI doesn't know your progress.

Ask Claude or Cursor about MCP and you get a generic answer. The AI doesn't know you finished Level 4 last week or aced the RAG quiz two days ago. It repeats what you already know and skips what you actually need. Academy MCP fixes that. Every tool call is fresh — your AI sees where you are and recommends what's next.

Tools — stats, levels, lessons, quizzes, reviews, tutor, certificates

How you actually use it

Just ask — your AI calls the right tool.

You don't need to know the tool names. Tell your AI what you want — tool discovery picks the right call.

You say

“Where am I in the Academy?”

The AI calls academy_stats and academy_levels, summarizes XP, rank, streak, and unlocked levels.

You say

“What's my next lesson?”

The AI calls academy_next_lesson, fetches the content via academy_lesson, gives you a clean entry into the topic in one reply.

You say

“Quiz me on Level 3.”

The AI calls academy_quiz for the checkpoint quiz, walks you through the questions, submits answers via academy_quiz_submit, shows score plus per-question feedback.

You say

“Run today's spaced-repetition review with me.”

The AI calls academy_review, walks you through each item, grades them via academy_review_grade. SM-2 schedules the next review automatically.

You say

“Explain again what an MCP resource is.”

The AI calls academy_tutor with your current context (level plus lesson slug). The tutor answers from the actual Academy lessons, not from the AI's training data.

You say

“Do I have any certificates yet?”

The AI calls academy_certificates, lists every passed checkpoint with a publicly verifiable URL — perfect for linking on LinkedIn or your CV.
