Welcome to the MCP Crash Course! This repository is designed to teach you the fundamentals and advanced concepts of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) in a hands-on way.

What is MCP? 💡

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) helps connect AI-agentic applications powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) to external tools and data sources, enabling more capable and context-aware AI systems.

How it Works 🤔

This repository uses a unique branch-based structure for learning:

  1. Each project/* branch covers a specific MCP feature or concept.
  2. Within each branch, commits are ordered chronologically. Follow the commits one by one to learn the topic step-by-step.

Simply check out the branch for the topic you want to learn and walk through the commits!

Available Topics (Branches) 📚

Here are the topics currently available:

  • project/sse: Learn how to implement Server-Sent Events (SSE) with MCP.
  • project/langchain-mcp-adapters: Explore integrating MCP with LangChain adapters.
