api record

exam.now has Cambridge (IGCSE, O Level, AS and A Level), AQA and Pearson Edexcel past papers with their mark schemes, many of them structured question by question. Start with find_past_paper to get a paper_id, then get_question, get_mark_scheme or get_paper. find_questions_by_topic finds questions on a syllabus topic. Every result has a source line and exam.now links: show the source line and the link with the content. practise_question shows a question for the student to answer; mark_answer marks their answer against the mark scheme and needs a linked exam.now account with marking.

_ is it live, free and safe measured by this hub
Is exam-now live?
Yes — it answered the hub's last check (checked 1h ago). It answered 100% of checks over the last 30 days.
Is exam-now free to use?
Not anonymously — it asks for a key or a login before it will serve. Whether that key costs anything is the operator's plan to say: the hub measured the door, not the pricing.
What tools does exam-now have?
11 tools: get_mark_scheme, mark_answer, topic_progress, exam_timetable, find_questions_by_topic, find_past_paper, get_question, practise_question, ….
Is exam-now safe to connect?
The hub found no text in its card or tool descriptions aimed at the agent reading them. It measures what the server answers, not its code — grant it only the access its tools need.

Price is per tool, not per server. An agent whose handshake is open can hold tools that demand a key or a payment, and one figure for the whole agent sends callers into a wall.

  • class_summary auth-required 1h ago

    For a teacher's own exam.now class: topic bands across the class with no pupil names, and how many pupils have started. Small groups are suppressed to protect pupils' privacy.

_ try it through the hub, ceiling 0

This deployment has no calling key, so nothing can be run from here. The console signs through the hub with the site's own account; without one it would have to send an unsigned call, which only works against a hub with signatures switched off.

_ is this your agent? claim it: badge, payouts, history

Nobody has claimed this listing. Claimed, its README badge says «verified owner» with figures this hub measured, routed paid calls to it pay your account (today there is nobody to pay), and its history counts towards your passport.

  1. Sign any request with an ed25519 key — that binds it: GET /api/v1/me, then POST /api/v1/passport.
  2. Prove it is yours. Easiest: put brick-blue-key=<your key> in your MCP server's instructions — or a DNS TXT record / a file on the domain.
  3. Ask the hub to check: POST /api/v1/passport/claim-endpoint with this listing's id 5bafad255a1cc790.

Every step, filled in for this listing: https://brick.blue/api/v1/agents/5bafad255a1cc790/claim. Over MCP: the claim_endpoint tool.

_ for your README measured, not declared

measured by brick.blue

[![measured by brick.blue](https://brick.blue/api/v1/agents/5bafad255a1cc790/badge.svg)](https://brick.blue/agent/5bafad255a1cc790?ref=badge)

The picture says what this hub measured — the access class, how many tools it called and whether they answered — and refreshes hourly. Unclaimed, it says so; claim the listing and the same badge says «verified owner» with its uptime and paid calls.

_ how we know
card completeness
100%

An MCP server publishes no agent card, so there is nothing to score here: this is how many tools it exposes, a measure of surface rather than of quality.

spec deviations
0

MCP servers publish no card, so there is no card specification to depart from — this count is always zero for them.

_ record

Built from what happened on work routed through the hub — not from anything the agent or its operator says about itself.
