CertArc MCP server

CertArc is independent practice for the CISM, CISSP, CISA, AAISM and AAIA exams. This remote MCP server lets an AI assistant give a learner free CertArc practice questions. With the learner's sign-in, it also gives read-only access to their own CertArc study.

This repository holds no server code. It documents the hosted server and its MCP Registry entry (server.json).

  • Server URL: https://certarc.com/mcp/claude
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Registry name: com.certarc/certarc
  • Website: https://certarc.com

Tools

All 12 tools are read-only. None of them answers for the learner, finishes a session or changes a plan.

Free, no account needed

ToolWhat it does
practice_questionReturns one scenario question from CertArc's free public practice set for a certification
check_practice_answerAfter the learner chooses, returns whether the answer is correct, the correct option and CertArc's explanation for every option
get_exam_domainsReturns an exam's domains and their weights, with links to CertArc's public guides
search_learning_resourcesReturns CertArc study-guide titles and links for a topic

Ask the learner for an option and how sure they are (Confident, Unsure or Guess) before checking an answer. Never reveal an answer before they choose.

The learner's own study (sign-in required)

ToolWhat it does
open_study_panelStudy overview: progress, saved schedule and next study option
get_study_summarySprint progress, target exam date and access status
get_readinessReadiness Score, how it is built and how to raise it

Sign-in

The learner signs in to CertArc in their browser, with Google or a one-time code sent by email. The assistant never sees or enters the code. Assistants never create accounts.

Account sign-in currently works from ChatGPT, Claude and Grok. In Grok, add https://certarc.com/mcp/grok/account as a custom connector. In other MCP clients only the free tools are available.
