ClearPath Learning MCP

ClearPath Learning MCP is a beginner-first technical learning project. It ships a public website, a hosted learner workspace, and a standalone MCP package that turns a technical topic into four useful parts: What it is, Real-world analogy, Example, and Try it.

The project is designed for people learning Python, security, DevOps, web development, databases, networking, and related subjects. Security lessons are intentionally constrained to defensive, lawful, locally authorized learning examples.

Quick start

Use Node.js 20 or later and pnpm 10 or later.

pnpm install
pnpm dev

The public product site is available at /, while the hosted learner is at /learn. Run the verification suite before opening a pull request:

pnpm check
pnpm test

Local MCP package

The standalone package is located in packages/clearpath-learning-mcp. It is intentionally separate from the hosted website so developers can install and run it from any MCP-compatible desktop client or project. After publication, users can install it with npm install clearpath-learning-mcp.

Install from npm

Install the published MCP package in a project:

npm install clearpath-learning-mcp

Or let an MCP-compatible client start the current package through npx:

npx -y clearpath-learning-mcp

Use the package README for the complete MCP-client configuration, including the locally supplied provider key.

Install directly from GitHub

Users do not need an npm token to use ClearPath from this repository. Clone the project, build the local MCP package, and add its command to an MCP-compatible client. The full copy-and-paste guide is available in Using ClearPath from GitHub.

cd packages/clearpath-learning-mcp
npm install
npm run build
npm test

The local package requires each user to configure their own OpenAI-compatible provider key. See the package README and the configuration reference for the complete client configuration example. Never commit provider keys, test credentials, or .env files.
