Welcome to Unit 1 of the MCP Course! In this unit, we’ll explore the fundamentals of Model Context Protocol.
In this unit, you will:
By the end of this unit, you’ll have a solid understanding of the foundational concepts of MCP and be ready to dive deeper into its architecture and implementation in the next unit.
The AI ecosystem is evolving rapidly, with Large Language Models (LLMs) and other AI systems becoming increasingly capable. However, these models are often limited by their training data and lack access to real-time information or specialized tools. This limitation hinders the potential of AI systems to provide truly relevant, accurate, and helpful responses in many scenarios.
This is where Model Context Protocol (MCP) comes in. MCP enables AI models to connect with external data sources, tools, and environments, allowing for the seamless transfer of information and capabilities between AI systems and the broader digital world. This interoperability is crucial for the growth and adoption of truly useful AI applications.
Here’s a brief overview of what we’ll cover in this unit:
