Use progressive tracks: beginner concepts, intermediate operations, advanced evidence and expert lifecycle architecture.
In this collection
4Beginner
MCP basics, tools, resources, prompts, endpoints and registry-versus-runtime differences.
Intermediate
Deployment, authentication, monitoring, ownership proof and reproducible reports.
Advanced and Expert
Longitudinal evidence, conformance boundaries, release coherence, repair and reverification.
How the tracks map to the rest of the Knowledge Platform
Each track is a reading order through documents that already exist elsewhere on the site, not separate lesson content: Beginner draws on Getting Started and Registry and Runtime Evidence; Intermediate draws on Monitoring and Owner Verification; Advanced draws on Registry-Runtime Gap and Evidence; Expert draws on Deployment and Factory. A learner who finishes a track has effectively read those pages with an explicit sequence, not a new curriculum.
Examples
2- 01
A beginner lesson links to runtime evidence and then to its technical reference.
- 02
A reader who has only read the Beginner path should not yet rely on the Expert path's deployment rollback claims without also reading Deployment directly.
