Intro to Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Extra perks unlocked via skillcraft.ai link
MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets developers securely connect tools, APIs, and data sources to AI models like Claude, GPT, or Gemini. With MCP, your AI isn't just a chatbot—it becomes a powerful, action-taking agent that can interact with the outside world. MCP is an open protocol by Anthropic that bridges the gap between language models and real-world context. It standardizes how models access: - Resources (read-only data like files or APIs) - Tools (actions like sending emails or fetching weather) - Prompts (reusable instructions to guide agents) Whether you're building local dev tools or production AI apps, MCP ensures your model always has the right context at the right time. In this hands-on course, you'll: - Build your own Weather MCP Server in Node.js/TypeScript - Add Tools, Resources, and Prompts step by step - Connect your server to MCP Client (Claude Desktop and MCP Inspector) - See your AI agent fetch live responses in real time
