Manage Certifier credentials in Claude Desktop

Stop jumping between your browser and chat. You can use `create_credential` to draft new badges or certificates while keeping your conversation flow intact. Once the draft looks right, use `issue_credential` to finalize it. The tool generates a verification link that your recipients can use to prove their achievement.

Sync your design templates with this MCP Server

Grab the exact IDs you need by running `list_design_templates` or `list_credential_templates`. Claude Desktop pulls these directly from your account so you don't have to hunt for them. If you need to verify a specific record, `get_credential` pulls the full details into your chat window. It keeps your data visible without leaving the app.

Update and distribute records from Claude Desktop

Fix mistakes on draft records using `update_credential` before you hit the send button. It saves you from having to delete and restart work. Need to get the badge to the recipient? Use `send_credential` to trigger the email delivery. Your Claude Desktop interface tracks the action in real-time.
