    How to connect

    How to connect Ripostiq to Claude

    The server address to paste into Claude settings:

    https://ripostiq.com/mcp

    1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
    2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
    3. Click Add custom connector.
    4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
    5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

    Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

    Authorization

    After you click Add, a sign-in window for the service opens. Sign in with your own account and approve access. Claude never sees your password.

    How to connect Ripostiq to ChatGPT

    The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

    https://ripostiq.com/mcp

    1. Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
    2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
    3. Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
    4. Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).
    5. Under Authentication choose OAuth if the service requires sign-in, otherwise None. Click Create.
    6. In a new chat open + → Apps/Connectors and enable the connector.

    OpenAI has renamed this section before (Connectors → Apps/Plugins). If the label differs, search settings for "developer mode". On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.

    Authorization

    On first use ChatGPT opens the service's sign-in window. Sign in and approve access.

    Server tool list (24)

    Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

    loginClaude Code plugin login only (auth_token flow). On the web/desktop connector, identity comes from the connector's OAuth approval — do NOT ask the user to type their email/password into the chat; direct them to the connector's 'Log in with Ripostiq' or ripostiq.com instead.
    whoamiReturn the current logged-in user (via OAuth bearer or an auth_token).
    get_entitlementsList the logged-in account's entitlements across courses (OAuth bearer or auth_token).
    get_lessonFetch a module's lesson content. Free module is open; paid modules require an active entitlement. Returns {locked, teaser, checkout_url} when not entitled.
    list_coursesList every available Ripostiq course (no login needed). Call this FIRST when a user wants to browse or start learning. Each course has a free Module 1 anyone can start immediately via begin_course(course) → teach_section. Returns the `course` id to pass to other tools. For a logged-in learner this also includes courses THEY authored (marked `mine`, with their `visibility`) — offer those alongside the catalog.
    begin_courseStart a course. Returns the tutor protocol, intake guidance, and the module map. Call this first, run the intake, then call teach_section to teach Module 1.
    roastFree 'Roast my work' — a single tough-but-fair stakeholder grilling of ANY artifact the user pastes (PRD, architecture, code, pitch, resume, plan, essay…). No login or course needed. `work` is the artifact (or a solid description); `kind` optionally hints the type (prd/architecture/code/pitch/strategy/resume/design…) to pick the right persona; `focus` is what they most want pushback on. Returns the roast protocol + a course recommendation. Great as an entry point when someone wants honest, pointed feedback on real work.
    interview_prepFree 'Mock interview' — a realistic, calibrated interview for a role. `jd_or_skill` is the job description (paste it) or the skill/role to interview against; `role` and `experience` (e.g. 'senior backend engineer', '5 years') calibrate difficulty; `focus` narrows it (e.g. 'system design'). No login or course needed. Returns the interview protocol + a course recommendation. Great when someone is prepping for an interview and wants a real grilling.
    list_interviewsList the curated Interview-Prep topics (e.g. 'Agentic AI in Production'). Each is a realistic, adaptive mock interview on a fixed topic — concept→scenario question pairs across several areas — that ends in a candid scorecard. No login or course needed. Call this when someone wants to prep for an interview on a topic the catalog covers, then start_interview.
    start_interviewBegin a curated Interview-Prep session on a fixed topic. `interview` is the topic id from list_interviews (e.g. 'agentic-ai-in-production'); `role`/`experience` calibrate difficulty. LOGIN REQUIRED (free in the current beta, like a course): if the learner isn't logged in this returns needs_login — ask them to log in with the connector, don't run the questions. Once unlocked, returns the question bank + an adaptive protocol (one question at a time across ~4-5 areas, concept then scenario, hint when stuck, scorecard at the end). Save it with save_interview.
    teach_sectionGet one lesson section's content + the teaching protocol for it. Free module is open; paid modules require an active entitlement (returns {locked, teaser} if not). Teach it socratically, then call again with section_index+1 to advance.
    run_bossGet the module's boss-battle simulation + how to run it (in-character, real stakes, earned PASS). Gated like lessons. `difficulty` dials the intensity — 'friendly' (supportive coach), 'standard' (default), or 'brutal' (relentless, skeptical, high bar) — and optional `persona_style` sets a flavor (e.g. 'skeptical CTO', 'hostile board member'). The rubric is unchanged; only how hard the stakeholder presses. Offer the learner the choice first.
    daily_drillThe two-minute drill — today's spaced-recall question + the learner's day streak. Call it to fetch today's question (deterministic per day, drawn from modules they've started); after they answer and you reveal it, call again with done=true to log it and bump the streak. A daily habit: one question, two minutes, keep the streak alive.
    start_examStart the course's SCORED PRACTICE EXAM — a full, blueprint-aligned multiple-choice mock that returns a scaled score against the real pass line, a per-domain breakdown, and rationale for every question. Login + entitlement gated like the paid capstone (returns needs_login / locked if not). Returns a drawn `form` of questions WITHOUT the answers (the key is held server-side); proctor them one at a time, collect the learner's letters, then call submit_exam(course, answers) to score. Never reveal or answer the questions yourself.
    submit_examScore a practice exam started with start_exam. `answers` maps each question id to the learner's chosen letter, e.g. {"q001": "A", "q002": "C"}; unanswered questions score as incorrect. Returns the scaled score, PASS/FAIL vs the pass line, a per-domain breakdown, and the per-question rationale for review. Deliver it as an honest scorecard and point them to the weak domains' modules.
    get_outlineFull course outline — every module + its section titles — so the learner can pick ANY module/section to start, in any order. Marks locked modules and their progress.
    mark_progressRecord the learner's progress server-side (shows on their account + syncs across devices). Call when a section is genuinely completed (section_id), or after a boss battle (boss='passed'/'failed', boss_attempt=true), or on a lab status change (lab=...).
    get_recapResume briefing for a returning learner — what they've covered, mastery levels, strong/weak topics, and recall questions to reactivate memory. Call at session start.
    get_progressReturn the learner's progress for a course — the raw doc plus a display-ready summary (per-module sections done/total, boss status, overall percent, current position), and wind_down coverage (which modules have their cheatsheet + session summary saved).
    recall_questionsReturn spaced-recall questions drawn from the account's completed modules.
    list_artifactsList the learner's saved Library artifacts (titles + metadata, newest first). Use at session start (with get_recap) to reference prior work and continue seamlessly.
    get_artifactFetch a saved Library artifact's full content (by id, or by key+course). Use to pull a prior deliverable forward and build on it in a new chat.
    submit_artifactSubmit a lab deliverable. Stores it in the learner's Library (type='deliverable') and returns the module rubric so it can be reviewed against the bar. Call get_review next. For general note-taking use save_artifact instead.
    get_certificateRipostiq certificate status. Pass `module` for that module's certificate (earned when its boss battle is passed); omit it for the course certificate (earned when EVERY module's boss is passed). Both are viewable at /certificate and publicly verifiable at /verify/<code>.
