Build, Connect, Deploy: Master MCP Servers, MCP Clients, Tools & Resources for Powerful LLM Applications

Please note that this is not a course for beginners. This course assumes that you have a background in software engineering and are proficient in Python. I will be using Cursor IDE but you can use any editor you'd like since we only use basic feature of the IDE like debugging and running scripts .
Ideal students are software developers / data scientists


MCP (Model Context Protocol): A protocol that helps build agents and complex workflows on top of LLMs, providing pre-built integrations, flexibility to switch between LLM providers, and security for your data.


Architecture Components

  • MCP Hosts: Programs like Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or AI tools that want to access data through MCP

  • MCP Clients: Protocol clients that maintain 1:1 connections with servers  (Content ETA April)

  • MCP Servers: Lightweight programs that each expose specific capabilities through the standardized Model Context Protocol

  • Local Data Sources: Your computer's files, databases, and services that MCP servers can securely access  (Content ETA End of March)

  • Remote Services: External systems available over the internet (e.g., through APIs) that MCP servers can connect to
    (Content ETA End of March)

  • Authenticaiton


Key Capabilities

  • Resources: Components that expose data and content from your servers to LLMs

  • Prompts: Functionality to create reusable prompt templates and workflows

  • Tools: Features that enable LLMs to perform actions through your server

  • Sampling: Capability that lets your servers request completions from LLMs

  • Transports: MCP's communication mechanism between clients and servers


Topic Covered:

  • MCP + Agent Security best practices

  • Containerizing MCP Servers

  • Protocol Flow

  • MCP + Docker

  • MCP + LangChain

  • OAuth 2.0 with MCP featuring Auth0

  • MCP Deployment (featuring Cloudflare)

  • A2A - Agent 2 Agent Protocol (WIP)
