From MCP Foundations to Real Integrations with Claude and Cursor

What you’ll learn
– What MCP is, why it exists, and how it solves the AI integration problem
– How MCP defines and manages “context” through tools, resources, prompts, and sampling
– The roles and responsibilities of MCP hosts, clients, and servers
– How MCP communication flows from user request to server execution and back
– How to build and test MCP servers and clients using FastMCP
– How MCP uses JSON-RPC 2.0 and streamable HTTP transport
– How to integrate MCP with modern AI development tools like Claude Code and Cursor

Requirements
– You do not need prior experience with MCP.

Description
TheModel Context Protocol (MCP)is emerging as a core standard for how AI systems connect to tools, data, and external capabilities. This course provides apractical, end-to-end understanding of MCP-from first principles to real integrations-so you can design AI agents that scale cleanly across tools, models, and environments.

Once the foundations are solid, the course moves intohands-on development. You’ll build MCP servers and clients from scratch, understand the JSON-RPC 2.0 message protocol that powers MCP, and work with streamable HTTP transport for real-world usage. Finally, you’ll integrate MCP servers with modern AI tooling likeClaude CodeandCursor, showing how MCP fits naturally into today’s AI-powered development workflows.
Throughout the course, the focus stays onconceptual clarity, architectural correctness, and real-world applicability-not just getting something working, but understandingwhyit works andhowit scales.
