This course covers MCP, a protocol for connecting Claude to external services and data sources without manually writing tool schemas. You'll learn to build both MCP servers that expose tools, resources, and prompts, and MCP clients that consume them. The course includes a hands-on project where you implement a document management system using MCP.

Syllabus

  • MCP fundamentals & server development
    • Start with understanding MCP's architecture and why it exists. Build your first MCP server with tools using the Python SDK, then test it with the built-in inspector.
  • MCP client implementation & advanced features
    • Build the client side to communicate with MCP servers. Implement resources for direct data access and prompts for pre-built instructions. See how everything connects in a complete application flow.
