What it can do
Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 9, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.
search_lessonsSearch the AI School curriculum (500+ tracks, thousands of free lessons on AI engineering, governance, security, and applied AI by profession). Returns matching lesson titles and URLs. Use this before answering an AI-topic question when a concrete, citable lesson would help, then
list_tracksList AI School course tracks, optionally filtered by a substring of the title or slug. Each track is a structured course on one subject. Use this to find the right course before drilling into its lessons.
get_trackGet one track with its full lesson list, so you can see the structure of a course and pick the right lesson to read.
read_lessonFetch the full text of a lesson by its URL (as returned by search_lessons or get_track). Returns readable markdown-ish text with headings and code blocks.

Common questions
Is AI School by Lilly Tech Systems safe?
It passed 3 of 4 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed 2 months ago, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 2 months ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.
What can I use instead?

AI School MCP server
Gives any MCP client - Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or anything else speaking the protocol - the ability to search and read the free AI School curriculum: 550+ tracks covering AI engineering, governance, security, and applied AI by profession.
The point is not "an AI that knows about AI". It is that when an assistant answers a question about, say, chunking strategy or the EU AI Act, it can point at a specific lesson you can go and read, instead of producing a fluent paragraph you have no way to check.
Install
One command, nothing to clone. Node 20+ is the only requirement: no API key, no account, no server to run.
Claude Code
claude mcp add ai-school -- npx -y ai-school-mcp
Claude Desktop - add to claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": { "ai-school": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "ai-school-mcp"] } } }
Pin a version if you would rather not track the latest release:
claude mcp add ai-school -- npx -y ai-school-mcp@1.0.1
Hosted, nothing to install. The same server also runs at https://lillytechsystems.com/mcp over Streamable HTTP, and is listed in the official MCP Registry as com.lillytechsystems/ai-school:
claude mcp add --transport http ai-school https://lillytechsystems.com/mcp
From a clone
Faster to start, and the right setup for contributing or for pointing at a local copy of the site:
git clone https://github.com/Lilly-Tech-Collab/ai-school-mcp.git
cd ai-school-mcp npm install npm test # smoke-tests the handshake, tools and a live API call
claude mcp add ai-school -- node "$PWD/server.js"
Set AI_SCHOOL_SITE to point the server at a different host; it defaults to https://lillytechsystems.com.
The server reads the public static curriculum API at https://lillytechsystems.com/ai-school/api/v1/, which is a set of JSON files on the same host as the site. Nothing is authenticated and nothing is written.
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
search_lessons | Search lesson titles across the whole curriculum. Returns titles and URLs. |
list_tracks | List course tracks, optionally filtered. |
get_track | One track with its full lesson list, so you can see a course's structure. |
read_lesson | Fetch a lesson's full text as readable markdown-ish output. |
Resources
| URI | Contents |
|---|---|
aischool://catalogue | Counts, licence terms, endpoint list. |
aischool://tracks | Every track with lesson counts. |
Notes
- `read_lesson` only fetches `lillytechsystems.com`. A "read this URL" tool that accepts arbitrary hosts is an SSRF primitive handed to whoever wrote the prompt, so the host check is deliberate and should stay.
- Search is title-only and deliberately simple. The full-text index is 4 MB and belongs in the browser, not in an MCP round trip; if title matching does not find it,
list_tracksthenget_trackusually will. - The catalogue is cached per process. A long-running client fetches it once. Restart the server to pick up newly published lessons.
- Content licence. Lessons are free to read, link to and quote with attribution. Republishing whole lessons is not permitted. The metadata (titles, descriptions, URLs) may be used freely with attribution. See
aischool://catalogue.
