MCP’s potential is huge, and breaking it down in a free 2-hour session is incredibly valuable. The protocol’s architecture could redefine how we interact with AI systems.

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. You’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. Here’s what you’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 Anthropic’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.

this tweet misses the gold of executor! the whole point is you don't want CLI / scripts, you want API / MCP servers in this video i ask executor to configure itself and add an MCP server - it pops up a browser for me to OAuth through based on the MCP elicitation spec

I'm still picking my jaw off the floor with this MCP update: Postman will now automatically build an MCP server for an API. Automatically! You select your API and the requests you want to include, and Potman will generate a Zip file with everything you need. In collaboration with Postman, I recorded a video showing how I generated an MCP server for the Google Maps API. It's glorious! Also, and before I forget: You can now test any MCP server with your Postman application. They built MCP right in, so now you can: • Connect to an MCP server • List out all of the available tools • Test any of the tools This is a 10x boost for the MCP ecosystem. If you've tried the default MCP debugger, you'll understand how huge a deal it is that you can do all of that from Postman now. Go here to give this a try:

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 🅱️'s GitHub: Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that enables seamless integration between LLM applications and external data sources and tools. Whether you’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.

Write 100x better code using AI (for free!) Install the Codacy extension (VSCode, Cursor, WindSurf). This will install an MCP Server locally on your computer. Your coding copilot will use this server with the Codacy CLI to check every line of code it generates. The way this works is pretty awesome (assuming you are using Cursor): 1. You ask Cursor to generate some code 2. Cursor writes the code 3. Cursor then calls Codacy's MCP Server to check it 4. The MCP Server will use the Codacy CLI to find any issues 5. Cursor will fix the issues and call the MCP server again 6. When the code passes all checks, you are done Level of effort on your side: literally zero! Code quality and security because of this: 100x better! Codacy has been doing this for a long, long time, and their Guardrails MCP Server checks for a lot of potential issues: • Security issues • Quality standards • Pattern violations • Linting issues You can see more information about the extension here: I recorded a quick video to show you how it works. Thanks to the Codacy team for helping me set up everything, answering my 1,000 questions, and collaborating with me on this post.

MCP now supports authentication using OAuth2. This is huge! I want to share a complete example (code) so you can learn how to use it. Here is the thing: You don't want to build agentic applications that access resources without proper guardrails. With authentication, you can: • Call third-party APIs on the user's behalf • Perform actions that should be traceable • Enforce different permissions for different roles Here is an MCP-based web shop demo, built with WorkOS AuthKit and Next.js. With this example, you can do the following: • Connect to an MCP server • Authenticate using AuthKit • Order a T-shirt using MCP tools • View order details if you are an admin This GitHub repository contains everything you need: The WorkOS team has one of the best authentication platforms in the world. If you haven't looked into AuthKit, take a look at the code of this demo. Thanks to the WorkOS team for sponsoring this post.

Don't know what is MCP and want to get a very quick intro lesson without the hype? I've got you covered MCP clients (like Claude, Cursor) are like the Android Phones and MCP Servers are like Android Apps. You can install them on your client and give it new capabilities!

Introducing Open MCP Client 🪁 Chat with any MCP server in your own app, just grab a URL from . The team and I vibe coded with Cursor this weekend and built: 1. The first web-based MCP client (link👇) 2. An open-source client you can add into any app How it's built It uses CopilotKit🪁 for the client and interactivity layer, and connects to a 40 line LangGraph ReAct agent that coordinates MCP calls. Hosted on Vercel. Kudos to Suhas Deshpande and Tyler Slaton for hacking and thanks to Harrison Chase for pointers!
