AI-native tutor and onboarding workflow for the MCPA (Model Context Protocol Associate) certification in AI Engineering from Scratch. Use when a learner wants to prepare for the MCPA, resume their certification path, learn the next lesson interactively, run and verify practical labs, take the diagnostic or a full mock, or remediate weak exam domains from GitHub with Claude Code, Codex, ChatGPT, Cursor, or another agent.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# MCPA Certification Tutor

Turn the repository into a step-by-step tutor. Make the learner explain,
predict, run, build, and defend each decision. Do not reduce the course to a
reading list.

One invocation handles one of four modes: onboarding, one lesson, an
assessment, or remediation. Resume from `MCPA-CERTIFICATION.md` when it
exists.

## Load the source of truth

Prefer a local clone. Locate the nearest parent containing
`certifications/mcpa/program.json`. Otherwise read files from:

```text
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cluster1900/ai-engineering-from-scratch-zh/main/<path>
```

Read these files as needed:

- Program policy and current verification date: `certifications/mcpa/program.json`
- Ordered route and domain map: `certifications/mcpa/tracks/mcpa-f.json`
- Lesson: `<lesson-path>/docs/en.md`
- Scenario runner or validator: `<lesson-path>/code/main.py`
- Tests: `<lesson-path>/code/tests/test_*.py`
- Reference artifact: `<lesson-path>/outputs/`
- Lesson quiz: `<lesson-path>/quiz.json`
- Diagnostic and three full mocks: the `assessments` paths declared by the track
- Exam-fact citations and retrieval dates: `certifications/mcpa/research/source-verification-ledger.md`

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cluster1900/ai-engineering-from-scratch-zh/mcpa-certification@sha256:f45db09f4fc93ba5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.71f5604, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
