GoldSeam

Navigating Learning to Earning — the MCP surface where AI agents connect to KSAWorks.

GoldSeam is the one MCP surface for KSAWorks — a single protocol seam where AI agents connect once and every platform service appears as tools as it ships. Twenty or so service areas will serve across it; two serve today — Industry Certifications and the KSA Dictionary. Every answer carries its source and a contract tag; an absent answer is stated honestly, never invented.

Live now — Industry Certifications

6,255 certifications from 1,158 issuers: resolve a name, look up by occupation (SOC) or academic program (CIP), trace every statement to its source. The spearhead service that proved the seam.

The largest service — CourseShelf

Course, program & checklist intelligence at catalogue scale, from institutions’ own published catalogs. First query: the progress-checklist comparison. In development.

Connect an agent in one step

Add the endpoint to any MCP-capable platform — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot Studio, or your own agent. No key needed to start; a free key lifts the daily trial allowance.

Standards-aligned by design

Certifications carry Credential Engine CTIDs and CTDL types; the CourseShelf model binds every element to CTDL and CEDS terms — built to link into the credential ecosystem, not beside it.
