Mastery Pathing

Mastery Pathing

The “what should this learner study next?” engine: a validated prerequisite graph, per-skill mastery (Bayesian Knowledge Tracing / Elo), and a knowledge-frontier recommendation. Diagnoses the gaps blocking a goal and returns a mastery-aware sequence from the current state to that goal.

Registry name	ai.saifs/mastery-pathing
Endpoint	https://mastery-pathing-mcp.saifs.ai/mcp
Transport	Streamable HTTP (remote, nothing to install)
Auth	OAuth 2.1 — PKCE (S256) and dynamic client registration; your client opens a sign-in page on first use
Publisher	SAIFS AI

Install

VS Code / GitHub Copilot

Add to .vscode/mcp.json (workspace) or your user mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "saifs-mastery-pathing": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mastery-pathing-mcp.saifs.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Then start the server from the MCP view and sign in when prompted.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http saifs-mastery-pathing https://mastery-pathing-mcp.saifs.ai/mcp

Any other MCP client

Point it at https://mastery-pathing-mcp.saifs.ai/mcp using the Streamable HTTP transport. The server returns 401 with a WWW-Authenticate: Bearer … resource_metadata=… challenge, so OAuth-aware clients sign in automatically.

Tools

Tool	What it does
build_knowledge_graph	Validated prerequisite DAG from topics and dependencies (cycle detection, gap flags).
estimate_mastery	Per-skill mastery via BKT / Elo across the graph from learner responses.
next_best_topic	Knowledge frontier: what the learner is ready to learn now (prerequisites met, not yet mastered).
diagnose_gaps	Prerequisite gaps blocking a target topic, plus a remediation path.
optimal_sequence	Topological, mastery-aware path from the current state to a goal.
rate_difficulty	Elo-based item and learner ratings on one scale.
explain_recommendation	Why this topic next, with mastery evidence.

Example prompts

• “Here’s our syllabus with prerequisites. What should this student study next?”
• “They want to reach quadratic equations. Which gaps are blocking that, and in what order should we remediate?”
• “Build a learning sequence from their current mastery to the chapter on recursion.”
