Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI systems to seamlessly integrate with external tools, resources, and applications. By acting as a universal adapter, MCP simplifies how models access context and perform multi-step workflows.
This learning path covers everything from the fundamentals of MCP terminology and architecture, to hands-on practice building integrations, to advanced features like custom workflow servers and transport optimizations. You’ll learn best practices for securely deploying MCP in real-world agentic AI applications.
This learning path is actively in production. More content will be added to this page as it gets published and becomes available in the library. Planned content includes: - Introduction to Model Context Protocol (MCP) - Model Context Protocol in Practice - Guided: Build a Simple MCP Server - FastMCP Foundations - Guided: FastMCP Foundations - Model Context Protocol: Advanced Features
