Academy

Part of the StudioMeyer MCP Stack — Built in Mallorca 🌴 · ⭐ if you use it

mcp-academy

Take the StudioMeyer Academy "Memory-First AI Operator" course right inside your AI. Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Codex becomes your tutor — it pulls the lessons, explains them, answers your questions, and walks you through building real things.

The whole curriculum ships inside this package: 6 levels, 63 lessons (DE/EN/ES), 104 hands-on playbooks, 63 build recipes. No account, no API key, no database, no network needed to learn. It's free and open source.

• Levels 1–3 — fundamentals: what LLMs really do, prompting, simple automation.
• Levels 4–6 — the part almost nobody teaches: persistent memory, the MCP protocol, hooks & skills, multi-agent systems, and building + selling your own MCP server.

Academy lives at https://studiomeyer.academy.

Library or course — pick one

This package is the library: the curriculum, offline, in your editor, with nobody to sign in as. Read everything, in three languages, forever, for free.

If you want the course — progress that survives the session, quizzes, certificates, a tutor that knows where you left off — connect the hosted server instead:

https://mcp.studiomeyer.academy/mcp

It asks you to sign in once (Google, Discord, or a link by email), and that is the whole difference. Same lessons, plus a memory of your way through them. Both are free.

A note from us

We have been building tools and systems for ourselves for the past two years. The fact that this repo is small and has few stars is not because it is new. It is because we only just decided to share what we have built. It is not a fresh experiment, it is a long story with a recent commit.

We love building things and sharing them. We do not love social media tactics, growth hacks, or chasing stars and followers. So this repo is small. The code is real, it gets used, issues get answered. Judge for yourself.

From a small studio in Palma de Mallorca.

Quick start

Claude Code

claude mcp add academy -s user -- npx -y mcp-academy

Then just say: "Start the Academy." Your assistant calls academy_welcome and you're learning.

Cursor / Claude Desktop / Codex

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "academy": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-academy"]
    }
  }
}

ChatGPT (and other remote connectors)

ChatGPT connects to a hosted URL, not a local command. Add a connector pointing at:

https://mcp.studiomeyer.academy/mcp

You sign in once when you add it (Google, Discord, or a link by email) and the course then remembers your progress. If you would rather not sign in at all, use the npm package above — it carries the same curriculum offline.

What you can do (free, no account)

All locales: de, en, es (default en).

Optional: track your progress (account)

If you have a studiomeyer.academy account, add your API key over stdio to unlock personal progress, quizzes, spaced-repetition and certificates:

claude mcp add academy -s user --env ACADEMY_API_KEY=academy_xxx -- npx -y mcp-academy

Create a key at https://studiomeyer.academy/dashboard/keys. This adds: academy_stats, academy_next_lesson, academy_progress_complete, academy_quiz, academy_quiz_submit, academy_review, academy_review_grade, academy_certificates, academy_tutor (Pro). These talk to the Academy REST bridge with your Bearer token. The hosted course at mcp.studiomeyer.academy offers the same tools without any key — it signs you in via OAuth instead, which is the friendlier route.

ACADEMY_BASE_URL defaults to https://studiomeyer.academy and should only ever point at the real Academy origin (it's where your key is sent). Useful for pointing at a local Academy instance during development.

Run your own HTTP endpoint

ACADEMY_MCP_PORT=3116 npx -y mcp-academy --http   # the hosted course: OAuth required, needs Postgres

Stateless Streamable HTTP, one isolated session per request, behind a reverse proxy. Every /mcp request needs a Bearer token — the server answers 401 with a WWW-Authenticate header and clients follow it into the sign-in flow by themselves. It therefore needs Postgres (ACADEMY_MCP_DATABASE_URL, pointed at the Academy's own database), a public ACADEMY_MCP_BASE_URL, SMTP for magic links, and Google/Discord credentials if you want those buttons. ACADEMY_API_KEY is ignored here — one shared key cannot stand for every caller.

How it stays fresh & safe

The curriculum is baked into the package at build time from the live Academy content (npm run bundle), behind a hard source whitelist + a secret-leak gate that aborts the build on any real-looking credential. Quiz answer keys and the AI-tutor system prompt are never bundled — they live server-side and are only reachable with your own account key.
