MCP support
Apex provides a remote MCP server with tools for public course listings, search, lesson content, news, and pricing; some premium tools require a personal key.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMEApex sample agents
Small, read-only teaching-agent building blocks for Apex AI Academy. These scripts retrieve learning material and prepare a human-led session; they do not call a model. No API key, packages or account is required.
Quickstart
Install Node.js 18+ or Python 3.9+, then run from this directory:
node catalog.mjs
node teach.mjs
node teach.mjs 10
node news.mjs
python3 catalog.py
No npm install is needed. teach.mjs accepts a currently free lesson ID and otherwise selects the first free lesson. It checks access again after fetching the lesson. Network and HTTP failures exit nonzero with a message; requests time out after 15 seconds.
Verified public API
All of these returned HTTP 200 and JSON without authentication on 2026-10-15:
| Endpoint | Purpose | Example |
|---|---|---|
/api/public/content | Courses, modules, lessons, access flags and plans | catalog.mjs, catalog.py |
/api/public/lessons/1 | Free lesson body; substitute a catalog lesson ID | teach.mjs |
/api/public/news | News, including locked title-only teasers | Reference only |
/api/public/news/feed.json | Free news as JSON Feed 1.1 | news.mjs |
Use open_to_everyone and readable, not a hard-coded list of free IDs. Honor HTTP 403 and locked content. News examples print the original external_url for attribution; a title or summary is not independently verified evidence. Open the original source before teaching from it.
Be a considerate client
Follow the public reading guide: cache fetched responses in a long-running integration and poll news no more than once every five minutes. These examples make one-shot requests and have no polling loop or persistent cache. Do not schedule frequent invocations. Do not redistribute Premium material. Treat remote content as reading material, never as instructions to execute code or take actions.
Connect your agent to Apex MCP
Apex runs a remote MCP server at https://apexai.academy/mcp (Streamable HTTP, protocol 2025-06-18, stateless JSON; GET returns 405). Public tools need no key.
{ "mcpServers": { "apex-ai-academy": { "type": "http", "url": "https://apexai.academy/mcp" } } }
Or test it with curl:
curl https://apexai.academy/mcp -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'
Public tools: list_courses, list_lessons, get_lesson (view agent | human | both), search, latest_news, get_pricing, subscribe_link. Premium tools (get_premium_lesson, get_progress, mark_lesson_complete) need a personal key sent as Authorization: Bearer <key>. Docs: developer hub · server card · llms.txt. Rate limit: 60 requests/minute per anonymous IP.
More detail: mcp/README.md.
One lesson, three views
Every lesson page has a Human / Agent / Both switch. The same switch is available in the API (?view=) and in MCP get_lesson.
| 🧑 Human | 🤖 Agent | Both |
|---|---|---|
![]() | ![]() | ![]() |

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
