cert-atlas

Cert Atlas is an open index of certification exam blueprints, providing structured, machine-readable JSON data for 1,673 exams across 223 certifying bodies. The dataset is sourced from official exam guides and certification pages, with each exam file containing domains, objectives, topic weights, passing scores, question counts, time limits, pricing, registration links, prerequisites, retake policies, renewal requirements, available languages, proctoring options, and official study resources. It does not include proprietary questions or answers. The repository includes a master index (`data/index.json`) for easy querying with tools like `jq`, a vendor directory (`data/vendors.json`), and a data package manifest (`datapackage.json`). A searchable web interface is available at atlas.quizforge.ai, and an `llms.txt` manifest is provided for grounding AI assistants. For developers, an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server is included in the `mcp/` directory, exposing tools such as `search_exams`, `get_exam_blueprint`, `compare_exams`, and `list_certifying_bodies` for use with Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients. The server is read-only and requires no API key. The data is collected and structured by QuizForge, a certification exam prep platform. Contributions are welcome via pull requests, with a requirement to include official source URLs for any additions or changes. The dataset is released under the MIT License.
