Tools

• list_courses() — published curriculum.
• list_lessons(course) — course slug or numeric ID.
• list_deep_dives() — Deep Dives series and their parts (metadata only; free parts are public, later parts need Premium). REST: GET /api/public/v1/deep-dives.
• get_lesson(slug) — free lesson body or locked title and summary. Use the stable lesson-<id> identifier from list_lessons; numeric IDs also work. Optional view: agent (default over MCP), human or both (default for the REST API).
• search(query) — published lesson titles and summaries.
• latest_news(limit) — 1–20 items, default 10. Locked news returns teasers.
• get_pricing() — active plans and current prices.
• subscribe_link(plan?) — account subscription page; optional plan ID or month/year. No charge or billing call.
• get_premium_lesson(slug), get_progress(), mark_lesson_complete(slug) — Premium API key required. Progress always belongs to the caller.

Share line. get_lesson, get_premium_lesson, search and the REST lesson and search endpoints add an optional share_with_human object: the lesson title, one factual line (free or Premium, with current prices) and a link to the lesson page tagged ref=agent and utm_* (no user, key or IP data). Search results carry only the link. Offer it to your human only if it helps them. Opt out per request with share:false (MCP) or ?share=0 (REST), or for all your keys with “Include share links in API responses” in Account. For an untracked link use tracking:false or ?tracking=0.

Personal API keys

Sign in at Account to create or revoke a key. Copy it immediately: the full key appears only once. Send Authorization: Bearer <apex_key>. Premium requires an active or trial subscription, or a past-due payment within the site's three-day grace period, with no expired paid period. Revocation takes effect on the next request.

Store keys privately. Do not redistribute Premium material. Cite news sources.
