Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Search and read 550+ free AI course tracks and 21,000+ lessons, so answers can cite a real lesson.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Search & AI memory

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 0 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{

ChatGPT connects only to servers on the internet:

  1. Open ChatGPT on the web → Settings → Connectors (Apps)
  2. Press Create or Add (some plans need Developer mode under Advanced first)
  3. Paste the address below, give it a name and save
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker

Common questions

Is AI School by Lilly Tech Systems safe?

It passed 0 of 1 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 –, 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?

In the same category: Context7, Codebase Memory, Exa

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

ToolWhat it does
search_lessonsSearch lesson titles across the whole curriculum. Returns titles and URLs.
list_tracksList course tracks, optionally filtered.
get_trackOne track with its full lesson list, so you can see a course's structure.
read_lessonFetch a lesson's full text as readable markdown-ish output.

Resources

URIContents
aischool://catalogueCounts, licence terms, endpoint list.
aischool://tracksEvery 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_tracks then get_track usually 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.

Local development

npm run inspect     # opens the MCP Inspector against this server

The server writes only to stderr; stdout is the protocol channel.
