The Claude Certified Architect - Foundations certification validates that practitioners can make informed decisions about tradeoffs when implementing real-world solutions with Claude. This exam tests foundational knowledge across Claude Code, the Claude Agent SDK, the Claude API, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) - the core technologies used to build production-grade applications with Claude.
Questions are grounded in realistic scenarios drawn from actual customer use cases, including building agentic systems for customer support, designing multi-agent research pipelines, integrating Claude Code into CI/CD workflows, building developer productivity tools, and extracting structured data from unstructured documents. Candidates must demonstrate not only conceptual knowledge but practical judgment about architecture, configuration, and tradeoffs in production deployments.
