// key findings

⚠️

Known vulnerabilities in dependencies: 3 high

Affects packages this MCP installs at runtime. Upgrade or remove the affected dependency.

✅

No credential exfiltration, no sensitive file access, no obfuscation

Static analysis found nothing flowing your secrets to unexpected places.

✅

Open source with a license and README

Anyone can audit the code, the license is declared, and the publisher documents what it does.

🔐

You'll be asked for 1 credential: ACADEMY_API_KEY

These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.

// tools this server exposes21 tools

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.

academy_stats

Your Academy account stats: XP, rank, streak, lessons completed, badges, certificates, weekly league. (Requires API key.)

academy_next_lesson

Recommend your next lesson based on real progress (first incomplete lesson in the lowest level you can access). (Requires API key.)

academy_progress_complete

Mark a lesson complete: grants XP, updates streak, schedules spaced-repetition. (Requires API key.)

academy_quiz

Fetch a quiz (lesson quiz or end-of-level checkpoint). (Requires API key.)

academy_quiz_submit

Submit quiz answers → score, pass/fail, XP, per-question correctness + explanations. Passing a checkpoint issues a certificate. (Requires API key.)

academy_review

List spaced-repetition items due today. (Requires API key.)

academy_review_grade

Grade a review item (again/good/easy) — SM-2 interval update. (Requires API key.)

academy_certificates

List your earned certificates with public verification URLs. (Requires API key.)

academy_tutor

Ask the Academy Pro AI-Tutor (server-side, knows the lesson context). Pro plan only. For free self-tutoring use academy_tutor_context instead. (Requires API key.)

academy_welcome

ALWAYS call this first when a user connects or asks what this is. Returns a short orientation for StudioMeyer Academy — a free 6-level 'Memory-First AI Operator' curriculum (Levels 1-3 fundamentals, 4-6 memory/MCP/multi-agent), plus playbooks and build recipes. Read it back to the user in their lang…

academy_levels

List the 6 curriculum levels with title, subtitle and lesson count. Use to show the user the learning path and ask where they want to start.

academy_lessons

List all lessons in a level (titles, descriptions, duration). No body — call academy_lesson for the full text.

academy_lesson

Get the FULL text of one lesson. Teach it to the user: explain it in your own words, answer questions, give examples. This is how a user 'takes the course' with you as tutor.

academy_playbooks

List hands-on playbooks (short, practical how-tos for Claude Code, MCP, memory, agents). Optional category filter.

academy_playbook

Get the full text of one playbook by slug.

academy_recipes

List build recipes — step-by-step guides to build, deploy and ship real MCP servers and agent systems, organised by phase (1-16). Optional phase filter.

academy_recipe

Get the full text of one build recipe by slug.

academy_search

Search the whole curriculum (lessons + playbooks + recipes) by keyword. Returns ranked matches with snippets and ids. Use when the user asks about a topic and you want the most relevant material.

academy_tutor_context

Get a lesson packaged as a tutoring brief: the full lesson text plus its learning goals and the level context. Call this when the user wants to be *taught* a lesson — then YOU act as their tutor using this material (no Academy account needed, you are the tutor).

search

Search StudioMeyer Academy course material. Returns a list of matching lessons, playbooks and recipes with ids you can pass to `fetch`.

fetch

Fetch the full text of one Academy item (lesson, playbook or recipe) by the id returned from `search`.

To run this server yourself, you supply these values. They go in your own MCP client configuration and stay on your machine. The secret label means the value is sensitive, not that the server mishandles it.

Tool annotations

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

21/21 tools missing one or more hints — academy_stats (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); academy_next_lesson (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); academy_progress_complete (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +18 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.

Tests exist

No test files found

Add tests that exercise each declared tool.

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 3 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.20.0 (high), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.20.0 (high)

Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.

// full audit trail

The findings above are the summary. The full trail, every check we ran, each deduction, the network hosts observed and the dependency advisories, goes to verified publishers, along with an alert whenever a new one lands. Verified publishers can also review each finding and dispute it in one click. Publisher corrections have sharpened several of our checks this month, because the maintainer knows the codebase better than any scanner.

// improvement guidance — verified publishers only

We have 4 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
