MCP Protocol: Building Agent Tool Integrations Training Course
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard developed by Anthropic that specifies how AI agents discover, invoke, and receive results from external tools. It supports both stdio and HTTP transports and has been adopted by Claude Code, OpenClaude, and a growing ecosystem of agent platforms.
This instructor-led, live training (available online or onsite) targets backend developers and platform engineers who aim to build MCP-compatible tool servers, integrate them with agent clients, and establish an internal MCP ecosystem within their organization.
Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:
- Implement an MCP server in TypeScript or Python that exposes custom enterprise tools.
- Connect MCP servers to Claude Code, OpenClaude, and other agent clients.
- Select between stdio and HTTP transports based on deployment constraints.
- Register and discover MCP tools within an internal tool registry.
Course Format
- Interactive lectures and discussions.
- Extensive exercises and practical applications.
- Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
