## What it does

This server integrates the complete "Memory-First AI Operator" curriculum into your development assistant. The package embeds 6 levels with 63 lessons across English, German, and Spanish, alongside 104 actionable playbooks and 63 build blueprints. Early stages cover prompting basics and task scripting, while advanced modules guide you through persistent context, the MCP standard, hooks, and multi-agent coordination.

You can use the runtime in two distinct ways. Running `npx -y mcp-academy` over stdio gives you a self-contained offline library that requires no credentials or telemetry. In this mode, the assistant relies on tools such as `academy_lesson` and `academy_search` to display content. For persistent progress, quiz evaluation, and course credentials, point your environment to `https://mcp.studiomeyer.academy/mcp` or supply an `ACADEMY_API_KEY`.

Evaluation criteria and interactive tutor prompts live exclusively on the hosted infrastructure, so grading quizzes requires an active connection.

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)
- Remote server: `https://mcp.studiomeyer.academy/mcp`
- Environment variables: `ACADEMY_API_KEY` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.
