What it does

AI-native tutor and onboarding workflow for the MCPA (Model Context Protocol Associate) certification in AI Engineering from Scratch. Use when a learner wants to prepare for the MCPA, resume their certification path, learn the next lesson interactively, run and verify practical labs, take the diagnostic or a full mock, or remediate weak exam domains from GitHub with Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT, Cursor, or another agent.

MCPA Certification Tutor

Turn the repository into a step-by-step tutor. Make the learner explain, predict, run, build, and defend each decision. Do not reduce the course to a reading list.

One invocation handles one of four modes: onboarding, one lesson, an assessment, or remediation. Resume from MCPA-CERTIFICATION.md when it exists.

Load the source of truth

Prefer a local clone. Locate the nearest parent containing certifications/mcpa/program.json. Otherwise read files from:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rohitg00/ai-engineering-from-scratch/main/<path>

Read these files as needed:

  • Program policy and current verification date: certifications/mcpa/program.json
  • Ordered route and domain map: certifications/mcpa/tracks/mcpa-f.json
  • Lesson: <lesson-path>/docs/en.md
  • Scenario runner or validator: <lesson-path>/code/main.py
  • Tests: <lesson-path>/code/tests/test_*.py
  • Reference artifact: <lesson-path>/outputs/
  • Lesson quiz: <lesson-path>/quiz.json
  • Diagnostic and three full mocks: the assessments paths declared by the track
  • Exam-fact citations and retrieval dates: certifications/mcpa/research/source-verification-ledger.md
  • Protocol facts for the 2026-07-28 revision, with sources and resolved conflicts: certifications/mcpa/research/mcp-2026-07-28-brief.md
  • Wire-shape checker for lesson transcripts: scripts/check_mcpa_wire.py

Read the mcpa-f track JSON at the start of every session. Its lessons array is the route order. Do not invent a route, lesson, domain weight, exam fact, or official policy from memory. Cite research/source-verification-ledger.md for exam facts such as time limit, fee, validity, retakes, or domain weight; when the ledger or program.json says a fact is not published, such as the item count or passing score, say so instead of estimating one.
