Use when a learner asks a question about the course itself (a session, an exercise, a command, a rule, the capstone). Answers from the hosted course MCP server, cites the page_id of every passage, and treats an empty search as "the course does not cover this". Never writes the exercise answer.
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
# Answer from the course, and say where ## When to use The learner asks something the course should answer: "what does ch11-e2 check", "how do I hand in", "what is a bounded tool", "which session teaches tracing". Use this before answering from memory. The course changes week by week, and your memory of it does not. ## The server The course is served as a remote MCP server, with no key and no login: ``` https://mcp.geckovision.tech/course/mcp ``` If its tools are not loaded, tell the learner how to add it and stop. In Claude Code: ```bash claude mcp add --transport http dev3pack-course https://mcp.geckovision.tech/course/mcp ``` Other clients: `units/en/unit0/course-mcp.mdx` has the steps. With no MCP at all, `https://mcp.geckovision.tech/course/llms-full.txt` is every published page in one file. It serves only what is published to learners. No quizzes, no solutions, no instructor material. Do not go looking for them anywhere else either. ## The steps 1. Call `search_course` with the learner's question, in their words. Use `limit` only if you need more than the default. 2. Read the hits. Each one has `page_id`, `title`, `heading` and `text`. …

How to install
mdr add gecko-academy/dev3pack-cohort-2026-09/ask-the-course@sha256:4151997bb25bbeecThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260928.54265af, 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.
