Dometrain MCP

Dometrain hosts a public MCP server you can attach to Claude Code in a few commands. It exposes tools to search and read Dometrain courses, learning paths, blog posts, pricing, and certificate-related helpers, useful for grounding answers about training content instead of guessing titles or URLs.

Endpoint (HTTP MCP): https://catalog-mcp.dometrain.com/mcp

The service advertises no auth for anonymous access; tools include search_courses, get_course, list_learning_paths, list_recent_blog_posts, get_certificate, and get_pricing. If the tool list changes, open /mcp in Claude Code after connecting and read what the server reports.

Prerequisites

• Claude Code installed with MCP support (recent enough that claude mcp add --transport http exists).
• A network path to https://catalog-mcp.dometrain.com (corporate proxies sometimes block new domains).

Option A, CLI (recommended)

From your project root (or any directory, depending on scope):

claude mcp add --transport http dometrain https://catalog-mcp.dometrain.com/mcp

Share with the repo (creates or updates .mcp.json at the project root, suitable for this workshop):

claude mcp add --transport http dometrain --scope project https://catalog-mcp.dometrain.com/mcp

Then start or restart Claude Code and run /mcp. Confirm dometrain is connected and tools appear.

Option B, Hand-written .mcp.json

At the repository root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dometrain": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://catalog-mcp.dometrain.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Reload the session and check /mcp. Merge with existing mcpServers keys if the file already exists.

Using it in chat

You do not need to memorize tool names: describe what you want in natural language and let Claude Code pick the right MCP tool, or ask explicitly.

Search-oriented:

Use the Dometrain MCP to search courses related to Docker and C#. Summarize the top 3 matches with title and one-line description.

Browse structure:

List learning paths from the Dometrain MCP, then pick one and summarize what it contains.

Blog + pricing (good smoke test):

From Dometrain MCP: fetch recent blog post titles, then summarize get_pricing output in plain language for someone buying team licenses.
