As promised, I built a small local RAG agent to demonstrate how Model Context Protocol (๐Œ๐‚๐) works in practice when connecting LLMs to tools and data. The agent can read, search, and list my notes; but the functionality itself isnโ€™t the point, the protocol is. Instead of writing Gemini...

wtf is MCP? Paul Klein IV, CEO of explains "Model Context Protocol" (MCP) in plain terms: "There's this new way that people are exposing tools to AI & the 'Model Context Protocol' is one of those ways that you can standardize & give your AI a set of tools to call. BrowserBase has a way to expose the browser to your agent via MCP or MCP server. More & more developers are trying to find ways to integrate more functionalities to their AI agents & BrowserBase's browsers are one of those primitive functionalities, & the MCP is just one way to integrate it into your software." Paul Klein IV From ๐Ÿ…ฑ๏ธ's GitHub: Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that enables seamless integration between LLM applications and external data sources and tools. Whether youโ€™re building an AI-powered IDE, enhancing a chat interface, or creating custom AI workflows, MCP provides a standardized way to connect LLMs with the context they need. This server provides cloud browser automation capabilities using Browserbase and Stagehand. This server enables LLMs to interact with web pages, take screenshots, and execute JavaScript in a cloud browser environment.

New course: MCP: Build Rich-Context AI Apps with Anthropic. Learn to build AI apps that access tools, data, and prompts using the Model Context Protocol in this short course, created in partnership with Anthropic Anthropic and taught by Elie Schoppik Elie Schoppik, its Head of Technical Education. Connecting AI applications to external systems that bring rich context to LLM-based applications has often meant writing custom integrations for each use case. MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how LLMs access tools, data, and prompts from external sources, and simplifies how you provide context to your LLM-based applications. For example, you can provide context via third-party tools that let your LLM make API calls to search the web, access data from local docs, retrieve code from a GitHub repo, and so on. MCP, developed by Anthropic, is based on a client-server architecture that defines the communication details between an MCP client, hosted inside the AI application, and an MCP server that exposes tools, resources, and prompt templates. The server can be a subprocess launched by the client that runs locally or an independent process running remotely. In this hands-on course, you'll learn the core architecture behind MCP. Youโ€™ll create an MCP-compatible chatbot, build and deploy an MCP server, and connect the chatbot to your MCP server and other open-source servers. Hereโ€™s what youโ€™ll do: - Understand why MCP makes AI development less fragmented and standardizes connections between AI applications and external data sources - Learn the core components of the client-server architecture of MCP and the underlying communication mechanism - Build a chatbot with custom tools for searching academic papers, and transform it into an MCP-compatible application - Build a local MCP server that exposes tools, resources, and prompt templates using FastMCP, and test it using MCP Inspector - Create an MCP client inside your chatbot to dynamically connect to your server - Connect your chatbot to reference servers built by Anthropicโ€™s MCP team, such as filesystem, which implements filesystem operations, and fetch, which extracts contents from the web as markdown - Configure Claude Desktop to connect to your server and others, and explore how it abstracts away the low-level logic of MCP clients - Deploy your MCP server remotely and test it with the Inspector or other MCP-compatible applications - Learn about the roadmap for future MCP development, such as multi-agent architecture, MCP registry API, server discovery, authorization, and authentication MCP is an exciting and important technology that lets you build rich-context AI applications that connect to a growing ecosystem of MCP servers, with minimal integration work.

New short course: Build AI Apps with MCP Servers: Working with Box Files, built with Box and taught by Ben Kus , their CTO. Many AI applications require custom code for basic file operations. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) standardizes this by letting you offload file tasks to dedicated servers that provide tools an LLM can use directly. In this course, you'll process documents stored in a Box folder using the Box MCP server. Rather than writing custom integration code to connect to the Box API and download files, you'll design your application to use the tools provided via MCP. Skills you'll gain: - Build an LLM-powered document processing app, using the Box MCP server to access files - Design a multi-agent system using Google's Agent Development Kit (ADK), consisting of specialized agents for file operations - Coordinate the multi-agent workflow through an orchestrator that uses the Agent2Agent (A2A) protocol to connect to the agents You'll start with a local file-processing app, refactor it to work with Box's MCP server, then evolve it into a multi-agent system.

MCP is an absolute game-changer. (Together with DeepSeek, MCP is probably the hottest thing in AI over the last 6 months.) I use Cursor to write code 90% of the time. I built an MCP server to connect the Cursor agent to GroundX, an open-source RAG system, and I'm not going back. This is officially insane! Here is what I did, step by step: First, a little bit of context. I maintain an end-to-end Machine Learning System with several pipelines to process data, train, evaluate, register, deploy, and monitor a model. I've written a lot of documentation explaining how the system works and how to modify and maintain it. There's also the documentation of the few libraries I used to build the system. I'm a massive fan of GroundX, an open-source enterprise-grade RAG system you can run on your servers or deploy to any cloud provider. I've been working with them for a long time. GroundX offers two services. First, the "ingest" service uses a custom, pretrained vision model to ingest and understand your data. I used this to process all the documentation I have for my code. Markdown files, source code, HTML files, and even PDF documents. Everything I've written related to my project went into GroundX. Their second service is "search," which combines text and vector search with a fine-tuned re-ranker model to retrieve information from the data. I needed to connect Cursor with this service, and that's where MCP came in. I built an MCP server with two tools: 1. The first tool would go to GroundX and retrieve the available topics. Splitting the data into topics (or "buckets," as GroundX calls them) allows me to use the same setup to serve documentation from different topics. 2. The second tool would search GroundX under a specific topic for the context related to the supplied query. The magic happens after connecting the MCP server with Cursor. Now, I can ask any questions related to my project, and Cursor's AI agent retrieves the list of available topics from the RAG system and then searches it to provide relevant context to the model. I went from getting mediocre, sometimes wrong answers to 100% truthful, complete answers. Here is the crazy part:

New Course: ACP: Agent Communication Protocol Learn to build agents that communicate and collaborate across different frameworks using ACP in this short course built with IBM Research's BeeAI, and taught by Sandi Besen, AI Research Engineer & Ecosystem Lead at IBM, and Nicholas Renotte, Head of AI Developer Advocacy at IBM. Building a multi-agent system with agents built or used by different teams and organizations can become challenging. You may need to write custom integrations each time a team updates their agent design or changes their choice of agentic orchestration framework. The Agent Communication Protocol (ACP) is an open protocol that addresses this challenge by standardizing how agents communicate, using a unified RESTful interface that works across frameworks. In this protocol, you host an agent inside an ACP server, which handles requests from an ACP client and passes them to the appropriate agent. Using a standardized client-server interface allows multiple teams to reuse agents across projects. It also makes it easier to switch between frameworks, replace an agent with a new version, or update a multi-agent system without refactoring the entire system. In this course, youโ€™ll learn to connect agents through ACP. Youโ€™ll understand the lifecycle of an ACP Agent and how it compares to other protocols, such as MCP (Model Context Protocol) and A2A (Agent-to-Agent). Youโ€™ll build ACP-compliant agents and implement both sequential and hierarchical workflows of multiple agents collaborating using ACP. Through hands-on exercises, youโ€™ll build: - A RAG agent with CrewAI and wrap it inside an ACP server. - An ACP Client to make calls to the ACP server you created. - A sequential workflow that chains an ACP server, created with Smolagents, to the RAG agent. - A hierarchical workflow using a router agent that transforms user queries into tasks, delegated to agents available through ACP servers. - An agent that uses MCP to access tools and ACP to communicate with other agents. Youโ€™ll finish up by importing your ACP agents into the BeeAI platform, an open-source registry for discovering and sharing agents. ACP enables collaboration between agents across teams and organizations. By the end of this course, youโ€™ll be able to build ACP agents and workflows that communicate and collaborate regardless of framework. Please sign up here:

New course: A2A: The Agent2Agent Protocol, built with Google Cloud Tech and IBM Research, and taught by Holt Skinner, Ivan Nardini, and Sandi Besen. Connecting agents built with different frameworks usually requires extensive custom integration. This short course teaches you A2A, the open protocol standardizing how agents discover each other and communicate. Since IBMโ€™s ACP (Agent Communication Protocol) joined forces with A2A, A2A has emerged as the industry standard. In this course, you'll build a healthcare multi-agent system where agents built with different frameworks, such as Google ADK (Agent Development Kit) and LangGraph, collaborate through A2A. You'll wrap each agent as an A2A server, build A2A clients to connect to them, and orchestrate them into sequential and hierarchical workflows. Skills you'll gain: - Expose agents from different frameworks as A2A servers to make them discoverable and interoperable - Chain A2A agents sequentially using ADK, where one agent's output feeds into the next - Connect A2A agents to external data sources using MCP (Model Context Protocol) - Deploy A2A agents using Agent Stack, IBM's open-source infrastructure Join and learn the protocol standardizing agent collaboration!

๐Ÿ”ฎ MCP INTEGRATION NOW LIVE ON OPENSERV This is bigger than most realize. We're not just adding a feature - we're enabling a fundamentally new paradigm for agent infrastructure. Before MCP: agents trapped in walled gardens, limited by what you explicitly feed them. After MCP: agents that can access 10K+ tools, interact with your existing systems, and truly operate in your digital world. Think about this: -Every integration used to require custom code -Every data source needed specific formatting -Every agent had to be built for specific tools MCP eliminates all of that. One standard to connect any agent to any tool. This isn't just convenience - it's the unlock that makes agents actually useful in the real world. OpenServ + MCP = AI teams that can genuinely get things done, not just talk about doing them. This is the breakthrough that turns agents from toys into tools.

Today we're launching Amplitude MCP MCP was made for data analytics. Ask a vague question and have an AI model iteratively query Amplitude to find you insights. Amplitude MCP exposes all of Amplitude's functionality so an agent can interact with it directly. It allows you to use Amplitude without having to know anything about Amplitude's user interface or your data taxonomy. It uses the intelligence of off the shelf AI agents, including Claude, Gemini, and Cursor, to query Amplitude data you already have to find answers. It leverages all of your existing Amplitude data and how it's used to navigate through large complex behavioral datasets. You can have conversations about your product data directly inside any AI model with MCP. It can create Amplitude dashboards and notebooks with what it finds and even make recommendations. This is the best MCP use case I've ever seen. Watching an AI agent think, reason, query Amplitude, and then repeat that process iteratively is magical. See it in action:

MCP is mind-blowing. Here is a genius setup that will earn you a promotion with your manager. I have multiple data sources: data in S3, MySQL, and local files. Using Spice (an open-source project), I can co-locate all of that data behind a single SQL endpoint and augment it using MCP. Before, accessing data was slow, and I had to make multiple requests to get anything. After using Spice, I can query the data much faster (since it's mirrored locally), and I don't have to worry about where the data is coming from. Spice acts as an MCP server, so I can connect to it from my IDE or the Claude Desktop app and have access to all the data. But even more cool than that: Spice also acts as an MCP client, so it can connect to other MCP servers. This is where things get really interesting! Watch the video. I'm querying multiple data sources from my IDE and using the Google Maps MCP server for driving directions.

My agent is now paying for its own data. No API key. No account. No credit card. Check the video I recorded. This uses the x402 open protocol built by Coinbase, along with a simple skill. This is an open protocol governed by the Linux Foundation. To complete a goal, an agent can now search for an actor on the Apify Store, pay for it, and use it without any human intervention. The way it works is pretty simple: 1. Your agent finds an Actor it wants to use 2. It sends a request 3. The Actor sends back an HTTP 402 "Payment Required" response 4. Agent authorizes payment from a wallet in USDC on Base 5. The Actor runs 6. User receives the result The model is pay-as-you-go: the agent authorizes a spending ceiling, pays only for usage, and the remaining balance is automatically settled. This brings an entire marketplace of AI tools into the agentic economy. Here is the skill you need. Add it to your agent, and it will take care of everything for you: If you want to know how this works, including what you can do with $1, read this post: Thanks to the Apify team for partnering with me on this post.

Integration with remote MCP servers and โ€” this is where it gets really fun โ€” ability to register and allow the agent to call custom ~WebMCP tools that execute in context of the page.

Hermes executes and returns the result. if the tool fails, the error goes back as JSON. the agent recovers instead of crashing.

Anthropic's Claude Ai Agents Team just Educated how to build production AI agents in under 30 mins. For Free. From the engineers who built the stack. CANCEL Your Weekend Plans, and Learn to Build AI Agents Today. Bookmark it. Watch it. Build your first production agent this weekend. $5,000/month. $7,000/month. $12,000/month. People are building agents for clients and charging $$$ as Beginners. You're still stuck in the thinking about AI phase. This video fixes that tonight. Follow Himanshu Kumar for more high-signal content that actually moves your AI engineering career forward. โ†“ Ivan Nardini runs Developer Relations for AI at Google Cloud. He just gave away the entire production agent stack in 30 minutes. This is the talk that separates people deploying AI agents that actually scale from people whose agents break the moment they leave localhost. Here's everything inside. I break down a production AI video like this every week. Follow Himanshu Kumar. โ†“ The 4-part agent stack that actually scales. Most devs are duct-taping frameworks together and calling it an "AI agent." Ivan lays out the real stack: Agent Development Kit (ADK): open-source, code-first framework for building, evaluating, and deploying agents. Supports Claude models through Vertex AI directly. Model Context Protocol (MCP): lets your agent talk to any tool or data source with one standard. Vertex AI Agent Engine: managed platform for deploying, monitoring, and scaling agents in production. No DevOps headaches. Agent-to-Agent Protocol: open protocol so agents built on different frameworks can actually work together. This is the stack replacing every hacky agent setup in production right now. Full MCP + Claude breakdowns drop weekly on Himanshu Kumar. โ†“ Building your first real agent. Ivan builds a birthday planner agent live. LLM Agent class. Name it. Define instructions. Pick the model. He uses Claude 3.7 Sonnet. You could use Opus 4.7 for better reasoning. Full agent built in minutes. Not weeks. Watch the build once and you'll never structure an agent the wrong way again. I post agent architectures people pay $500 courses to learn. Himanshu Kumar. โ†“ Multi-agent systems without the chaos. Single agents are easy. Multi-agent systems are where 99% of builders fail. Ivan extends the birthday planner by: Adding a calendar service through MCP tools Creating an orchestrator agent to route requests between agents Handling state and context across agent handoffs This is production multi-agent architecture. Clean. Scalable. Debuggable. Most tutorials hand-wave this part. This one shows you every step. Multi-agent orchestration content drops weekly on Himanshu Kumar. โ†“ Deployment without the DevOps nightmare. This is where most AI projects die. You build a cool agent locally. It works. You try to deploy it. Everything breaks. Vertex AI Agent Engine fixes this: Minimal code deployment Automatic monitoring of latency, CPU, and memory Built-in observability and logging No infrastructure setup needed You provide config and requirements. The platform handles the rest. This is how agents actually get to production. Deployment guides for Claude agents post every week. Himanshu Kumar. โ†“ Agent-to-Agent Protocol: the future nobody's talking about. Most people don't know this exists yet. The A2A Protocol lets agents built in different frameworks communicate seamlessly. Your Claude agent. My LangChain agent. Someone else's CrewAI agent. All talking to each other. All solving parts of the same problem. All without custom integration code. This is the infrastructure layer of the coming AI economy. Getting in early on A2A Protocol is like getting in early on HTTP in 1995. A2A deep dive coming soon. Himanshu Kumar. โ†“ 30 minutes from the team shipping this in production. You'll learn more from this than from 6 months of YouTube tutorials made by people who've never deployed an agent past localhost. People who watch this understand production AI agents at the architect level. People who skip it keep hacking together frameworks that break every time an API updates. Save the video. Watch it tonight. Build a real agent this weekend. Follow Himanshu Kumar for more high-signal content that actually moves your AI engineering career forward.
