📋 Chapter 57: MCP Tools (In Progress)

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol - gives your agent "hands" to interact with the real world.

Required MCP Tools to Build:

1. State Tools - Track learner data (register, get, update)
2. Content Tools - Fetch course content (chapters, exercises)
3. Pedagogy Tools - Teaching methodology (guidance, assessment)
4. Code Tools - Sandbox for code execution
5. Upgrade Tools - Stripe payment integration

Next Steps:

• Create MCP server using Claude Code + mcp-builder skill
• Build first tool: register_learner
• Test from WhatsApp
• Build remaining 8 tools
• Write pytest suite

📋 Chapter 58: Build TutorClaw (Pending)

A complete AI tutor with 9 tools that teaches the Agent Factory curriculum.

The 9 Tools:

1. register_learner - Enroll new student
2. get_learner_state - Retrieve progress
3. update_progress - Save learning data
4. get_chapter_content - Fetch course material
5. get_exercises - Get practice problems
6. generate_guidance - PRIMM-Lite teaching
7. assess_response - Evaluate student answers
8. submit_code - Mock code sandbox
9. get_upgrade_url - Stripe checkout

Architecture:

• Storage: Local JSON files (no cloud)
• Content: Markdown files for course content
• Monetization: Stripe integration
• Identity: TutorClaw SOUL.md + IDENTITY.md

---

📋 Chapter 59: Unit Economics (Pending)

Key Learnings:

• Agent applications have ~89% gross margins
• Cost structure: API calls + compute (near zero marginal cost)
• Tiered access: Free → Paid upgrade flow
• No traditional SaaS infrastructure costs

---

📋 Chapter 60: Publish to ClawHub (Pending)

• Document architecture decisions (ADR)
• Write versioned release notes
• Create ClawHub package manifest
• Publish with single command install
