👨💼 Hello, my name is Peter the Product Manager. I'm here to help you get
oriented and to give you your assignments for the workshop!
Welcome to Advanced MCP Features! In this workshop, you'll dive into the world of
the
Model Context Protocol (MCP)—an
open protocol designed to seamlessly connect AI models with external data
sources and tools. We'll be going deeper on the MCP spec and how to use it to
build more advanced AI connected apps.
We'll focus on advanced features of the spec, however we'll not be covering
authentication or authorization (that's an entire workshop in itself).
We'll be using the
MCP TypeScript SDK
to build our MCP server and the
MCP Inspector to test it.
If you're curious about the details, I highly recommend checking out the
official MCP specification
and the introduction. These
resources provide a deep dive into the protocol, its design principles, and
practical implementation tips.
NOTE: At the time of this writing, some clients don't support the features
that we're going to be learning about in this workshop. Notably, the best
clients which support most of these features are
VSCode and
nanobot.ai. If you're using another client, you may not
be able to test all the features in this workshop.
Ready to build even better AI connected apps? Then let's get going!
