Course Overview
This course teaches you how to use the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to build real-world AI applications. You’ll explore the evolution of agentic AI, why LLMs need supporting systems, and how MCP works, from its architecture and life cycle to its communication protocols. You’ll build both single- and multi-server setups through hands-on projects like a weather assistant, learning to structure prompts and connect resources for context-aware systems. You’ll also extend the MCP application to integrate externa...Show More
