Welcome to Unit 2 of the MCP Course!
In this unit, we’ll build a complete MCP application from scratch, focusing on creating a server with Gradio and connecting it with multiple clients. This hands-on approach will give you practical experience with the entire MCP ecosystem.
In this unit, we’re going to build a simple MCP server and client using Gradio and the HuggingFace hub. In the next unit, we’ll build a more complex server that tackles a real-world use case.
In this unit, you will:
By the end of this unit, you’ll have a working MCP application that demonstrates the power and flexibility of the protocol.
Before proceeding with this unit, make sure you:
We’ll build a sentiment analysis application that consists of three main parts: the server, the client, and the deployment.
