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.

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.

We are witnessing a fundamental shift in how software is built. Over the decades, UI was static and predictable. But AI is changing the fundamental nature of the interface. We are moving away from fixed UI and toward a new standard: Generative UI. Generative UI lets agents participate in the UI, not just the conversation. It’s a dynamic participant in the user experience. Depending on the complexity of your app, Generative UI generally falls into three categories: 1. Static (AG-UI): UI is chosen from a fixed set of hand-built components 2. Open-Ended (MCP Apps): agent sends arbitrary content like raw HTML or iframes for total flexibility. 3. Declarative (A2UI): agent and frontend communicate via a structured UI spec for dynamic widgets and forms. The AG-UI Protocol by CopilotKit is the real breakthrough. AG-UI acts as the universal transport layer. It provides the integrations and middleware for every Gen-UI spec, making it trivial to bring dynamic components into your existing app. CopilotKit provides the go-to ecosystem for building agentic applications and is the React client of AG-UI. It is designed to be deeply integrated, allowing developers to bring their own frameworks or protocols to the table. Play around with different types of Generative UI here → Check out the video attached to see Generative UI in action. Appreciate the CopilotKit team for collaborating with me on this deep dive.

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.

SonarQube has been catching my bugs and security issues for years. The only friction was having to leave Cursor or Windsurf to view the results. Their new MCP Server fixes that by bringing verification directly into the coding environment 🔥 This is actually perfect timing 🧵 ↓ Because we write more code than ever thanks to AI, yet productivity still doesn’t keep up. Google’s 2025 DORA Report shows the tension: → AI usage +90% → Bugs +9% → Review time +91% → PR size +154% (report here: The problem isn’t generating code. It’s verifying it quickly and reliably. And this is what SonarQube's new MCP Server brings instantly: - Live scanning → trigger SonarQube checks inside Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code… basically any MCP-compatible IDE - Immediate surfacing → security, reliability, and maintainability issues in seconds - Smooth UI handoff → jump to the dashboard only when you need the full picture - AI-native workflow → Sonar’s long-standing rule engine integrated into your daily loop Why it’s great: • Removes constant tab-switching • Faster write → check → fix cycles • Lets the IDE handle speed while SonarQube handles structure • Feels like code quality finally meets AI-native development Setup is super simple: → Enable SonarQube's MCP Server in Cursor → Add your SonarQube instance → Open your repo → Run the scan directly inside the IDE I then pointed it to a JS component I’m building in Streamlit (psst, it’s called Streamlit ChartJS ;)) → Immediate results: security flags, reliability concerns, maintainability smells, and dependency risks ✅ Then I prompted: "Show me the full breakdown." → Cursor opens the SonarQube UI with rule details, severities, fix guidance, and project-wide quality signals! Exactly on point.

English is the most powerful language in the world. MongoDB just added support for MCP, and literally anyone can now query data without knowing anything about databases. If you know English, you are all set. I recorded a quick video to show you how I connect to a sample Airbnb database and run different queries: • How many listings? • How many listings in the US? • What's the list of countries in these listings? It takes 10 seconds to configure Claude, Cursor, WindSurf, or any other AI assistant to connect to MongoDB's MCP Server. By the way, the server supports much more than queries: • You can explore your collections • You can fetch schema information • You can generate app code snippets • You can manage your databases • You can handle cluster/user/admin tasks Here is a link to the MCP server GitHub repository: This is huge for developers. It's even bigger for non-developers. Thanks to the MongoDB team for collaborating with me on this post.

If your MCP server has dozens of tools, it’s probably built wrong. You need tools that are specific and clear for each use case—but you also can’t have too many. This creates an almost impossible tradeoff that most companies don’t know how to solve. That’s why I interviewed my friend Alex Rattray (Alex Rattray), the founder and CEO of Stainless. Stainless builds APIs, SDKs, and MCP servers for companies like OpenAI and Anthropic. Alex has spent years mastering how to make software talk to software, and he came on the show to share what he knows. I had him on Every 📧’s AI & I to talk about MCP and the future of the AI-native internet. We get into: • Design MCP servers to be lean and precise. Alex’s best practices for building reliable MCP servers start with keeping the toolset small, giving each tool a precise name and description, and minimizing the inputs and outputs the model has to handle. At Stainless, they also often add a JSON filter on top to strip out unnecessary data. • Make complex APIs manageable with dynamic mode. To solve the problem of how an AI figures out which tool to use in larger APIs, Stainless switches to “dynamic mode,” where the model gets only three tools: List the endpoints, pick one and learn about it, and then execute it. • MCP servers as business copilots. At Stainless, Alex uses MCP servers to connect tools like Notion and HubSpot, so he can ask questions like, “Which customers signed up last week?” The system queries multiple databases and returns a summary that would’ve otherwise taken multiple logins and searches. • Create a “brain” for your company with Claude Code. Alex built a shared company brain at Stainless by keeping Claude Code running on his system and asking it to save useful inputs—like customer feedback and SQL queries—into GitHub. Over time, this creates a curated archive his team can query easily. • The future of MCP is code execution. Instead of giving models hundreds of tools, Alex believes the most powerful setup will be a simple code execution tool and a doc search tool. The AI writes code against an API’s SDK, runs it on a server, and checks the docs when it gets stuck. This is a must-watch for anyone who wants to understand MCP—and learn how to use them as a competitive edge. Watch below!

There are more than 500 companies building things with AI for enterprises. I'm the only one here on X who made a list of all of them at Here I sit down with the founder of one of them, AptEdge.io. It builds systems for customer support for companies, particularly if your service reps have to help with technical information, like helping fix a machine. I'm trying to help people learn about companies that could help their businesses and also give everyone some real insights into how people are using AI to do new things. Thanks Aakrit Prasad for such an insightful interview and for visiting my home to do so.

It builds systems for customer support for companies, particularly if your service reps have to help with technical information, like helping fix a machine. I'm trying to help people learn about companies that could help their businesses and also give everyone some real insights into how people are using AI to do new things. Thanks Aakrit Prasad for such an insightful interview and for visiting my home to do so.

Time for a new Qubic #Science Demo to understand better some of the many parameters we are recreating at the #Neuraxon BioInspired #TrueAI Model, that will run in the Qubic network with #aigarth Today a deep dive with the NeuroModulators, a fundamental piece of biochemistry that our brains need, and the #NeuraxonMoodMixer will help grasp the key concepts. You can play and learn with the demo here: Meanwhile we keep building the Science: And improving the Research Outcomes, all #OpenScience More updates on research comming soon, and more demos for other concepts the underlaying AI model uses.
