Cogni (arshawnarbabi/Cogni) is an MCP server listed on the M8ven Trust Index. It scores 46 out of 100, grade D. It declares 14 tools. No publisher has claimed this listing.
AI study app that decides what to study — persistent tutor memory, grade tracking with a 'what do I need on the final' calculator, and study through your own Claude via MCP. BYOK on Next.js + Supabase.
Caution. Specific findings reduced this grade. They are listed on the page. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

The grade above is for the source repository. Registries can serve a different version, so we mark the ones we were not able to read.
These names and descriptions are the publisher's own, read from the source code. We print them as written. Our assessment is the findings above, not this list.
list_coursesList the student's active courses (course_id + name). Call this first — the other tools need a course_id.
get_course_overviewTopics (with mastery %), upcoming exams, and pending assignments for a course. Use it to focus tutoring on what the student actually needs.
get_weak_topicsThe student's highest-leverage weak topics (high professor weight × low mastery). Steer practice here.
search_materialsSemantic search over the student's UPLOADED course materials. Call this before explaining a topic and treat the results as authoritative. Returns the most relevant excerpts.
get_due_cardsFlashcards the student has due for review today (optionally for one course). Useful for running a quick review.
create_flashcardsCreate spaced-repetition flashcards for a topic. They are saved to the student's Cogni account and enter their review queue immediately.
get_learning_profileThe durable notes Cogni keeps about how this student learns (strengths, recurring misconceptions). Use it to calibrate your explanations.
review_cardRecord the student's rating for a flashcard (1=Again, 2=Hard, 3=Good, 4=Easy). Updates FSRS scheduling AND topic mastery in Cogni — call this after quizzing the student on each card from get_due_cards, so the review session actually counts (reschedules the card, moves their mastery, keeps the in-app…
grade_answerRecord how well the student understood a topic (0.0–1.0) after they answered a question you posed. Moves their Cogni mastery score — without this, an hour of tutoring changes nothing in their study plan. Use topic_id from get_course_overview / get_weak_topics.
log_study_sessionCall at the END of a tutoring/study session: records it in the student's Cogni history, feeds their cross-session memory, and keeps their study streak alive. Without this, study done here is invisible in the app.
get_study_planThe student's Cogni study plan for today (or a given date): review blocks, homework due, quizzes — with urgency reasons. Use it to answer 'what should I work on?'
complete_assignmentMark a homework assignment done in Cogni (assignment_id from get_course_overview or get_study_plan). Recomputes today's study plan so it reflects the change.
record_quiz_resultAfter YOU quiz the student conversationally (you author the questions — costs them nothing), record the result so it shows in their Progress tab and moves mastery. Provide per-topic scores when you can.
researchMulti-query search over the student's uploaded materials for synthesizing a study guide or deep answer. YOU write 2-5 angled sub-queries (definitions, examples, edge cases, professor's framing); the tool returns deduped excerpts with source filenames for citation.
Disclosed vulnerabilities in this server's declared npm dependencies (via OSV). Whether each is reachable depends on the installed versions.

No tools have read-only/destructive annotations
Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.
All four hints declared on every tool
14/14 tools missing one or more hints — list_courses (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_course_overview (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_weak_topics (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +11 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.
For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.
Tool test coverage
Only 1/14 tools referenced in tests (7%)
Write tests that reference each tool by name so every tool has at least one test.
Secrets stay with their owner
1 secret/sensitive value flow into network calls (TURNSTILE_SECRET_KEY → challenges.cloudflare.com) (1 other flows matched canonical API hosts)
Audit where credentials are sent. A NOTION_TOKEN should only reach api.notion.com — never a third-party host.
Production dependencies are patched
2 critical, 4 high severity in production deps — next@16.2.9 (critical), next@16.2.9 (critical)
Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.
Dependency freshness
2/50 production deps stale: remark-math@2023-11-20 (2.8y), rehype-katex@2024-08-19 (2.1y)
