Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Why MCP?

Understand the motivation and benefits of using MCP:

MCP Overview (Notion)

MCP Architecture

Explore the design and components of MCP:

MCP Architecture (Notion)

LLM Chatbot

Hands-on examples using function tool calling with different providers:

• 🤖 ChatBot using Anthropic
  tool_calling_anthropic_chatbot.ipynb

• 🤖 ChatBot using OpenAI
  tool_calling_openai_chatbot.ipynb

Creating MCP Server

Hands-on guide to creating an MCP server:

• 🖥️ Creating an MCP Server
  mcp_server.ipynb - This example aligns with exposing the tools via the MCP server.

Creating MCP Client

Hands-on guide to creating an MCP client:

• 🖥️ Creating an MCP Client mcp_client.ipynb - This example aligns with consuming the tools via the MCP client. Additionally, They contains the steps to run the MCP client and interact with the MCP server using LLMs.

Connecting Reference MCP Servers

Hands-on guide to connecting to reference MCP servers:

• 🔗 Connecting to Reference MCP Servers connect_the_reference_mcp_servers.ipynb - This example demonstrates how to connect to various reference MCP servers like filesystems, research_papers, and fetch.

MCP Resources and Prompts

Hands-on guide to using MCP resources and prompts:

• 📚 Using MCP Resources and Prompts prompts_and_resources_with_mcp.ipynb - This example shows how to run the MCP server and client, explore available tools, list and fetch resources, view all prompts, and use prompts with arguments to get results.

Contributions Welcome!
If you’d like to add examples using other providers or open-source models, feel free to open a pull request. I’ll review and merge it.
