# Career Skill Planner AI Agent Connect > Career Skill Planner builds structured learning paths by looking at your specific constraints. It checks what you need to learn first, how much it costs, and how much time you actually have to spend on it. You can connect it to your AI client to turn vague career ambitions into a day-by-day roadmap that fits your budget. ## Overview - **Category:** productivity - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_0uIsByUIEoloV4yNh0dTPYIG5Pc5dc29sjgPlBKM/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** learning, schedule, skills, career, budget ## Description You have a list of skills you want to learn, but you don't know where to start or if you can actually afford the time and money required. This MCP fixes that. Instead of guessing, you can ask your AI client to map out a path that respects your real-world limits. It works by looking at the dependencies between skills, ensuring you don't try to learn advanced concepts before you've mastered the basics. It also pulls specific data on how much each skill costs and how many hours it takes to complete. Most importantly, it runs a feasibility check. If you tell your agent you only have five hours a week and a hundred dollars, it won't suggest a plan that breaks your bank or your schedule. You get a chronological roadmap that tells you exactly what to study and when, making your professional development predictable rather than overwhelming. ## Tools ### calculate_feasibility This tool checks if your desired skill set fits within your specific budget and time constraints. ### generate_learning_schedule This tool builds a chronological roadmap so you know exactly when to study each skill. ### get_skill_dependencies This tool identifies which skills you must master before you can move on to more advanced topics. ### get_skill_details This tool provides the specific cost and time requirements for any skill in the catalog. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Can I learn Python and Data Science with a $200 budget and 5 hours available per week? ``` **Response:** ``` Yes, that plan is feasible. Your total cost for these skills is $150, and you have enough weekly hours to complete them before the deadlines. ``` **Prompt:** ``` What are the requirements for the 'Advanced Machine Learning' skill? ``` **Response:** ``` Advanced Machine Learning requires 40 course hours and costs $120. The target completion deadline is December 15th, 2024. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Create a study plan for 'Web Development' with 10 hours a week and a $50 budget. ``` **Response:** ``` Your learning schedule is ready. You will spend 10 hours in Week 1 on HTML/CSS and 10 hours in Week 2 on JavaScript, staying within your $50 budget. ``` ## Capabilities ### Constraint Checking Your agent uses this to see if your learning goals match your available money and time. ### Prerequisite Mapping The AI uses this to determine the logical order of your studies. ### Cost and Time Audits Your agent pulls specific data on the duration and price of individual skills. ### Timeline Generation The AI creates a week-by-week or day-by-day schedule for your curriculum. ## Use Cases ### Budget-Conscious Upskilling You want to learn a new stack but need to ensure the total course costs stay under a specific limit. ### Time-Limited Learning You only have a few hours a week and need a schedule that doesn't lead to burnout. ### Logical Skill Sequencing You need to know which foundational skills to tackle before attempting advanced certifications. ### Career Transition Planning You use the feasibility tool to see if a new career path is reachable with your current resources. ## Benefits - Prevents overspending by checking skill costs against your budget. - Eliminates guesswork by identifying necessary skill prerequisites. - Creates realistic timelines based on your actual weekly availability. - Provides a clear, chronological order for all learning activities. ## How It Works Get a custom learning plan by connecting this MCP to your preferred AI client. 1. Connect the MCP to Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf via Vinkius. 2. Tell your AI client what skills you want to learn. 3. Provide your budget and weekly time availability. 4. The AI uses the MCP tools to check dependencies, costs, and feasibility. 5. Receive a complete, chronological learning schedule. ## Frequently Asked Questions **How does this MCP help with career planning?** It builds structured learning paths by analyzing skill dependencies, costs, and your personal time constraints. **Can I use this with Claude or Cursor?** Yes, you can connect this MCP to any compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf. **Does it account for my budget?** Yes, the feasibility tool specifically checks if your desired skills fit within your stated budget. **Will it tell me what to learn first?** Yes, it uses dependency mapping to ensure you learn prerequisite skills before moving to advanced ones. **How do I get a schedule?** Once you provide your goals and constraints, the MCP generates a chronological roadmap for your studies. **How does the tool handle skill prerequisites?** The tool uses `get_skill_dependencies` to ensure that any prerequisite skill is scheduled and completed before its dependent skill begins. **Can I plan a schedule if I have a limited budget?** Yes. You can use `calculate_feasibility` to verify if your desired skills fit within your budget and `generate_learning_schedule` to create the plan. **What happens if my weekly availability is too low?** If the available hours are insufficient to meet skill deadlines, `calculate_feasibility` will report a constraint violation.
