Intro to MCP Servers – Model Context Protocol with Python Course

Overview

Learn to build Model-Context Protocol (MCP) servers with the open source FastMCP Python library.

MCP is the standard that lets AI agents, like GitHub Copilot and Gemini, securely interact with your databases, functions, and apps.

You'll learn what MCP is and why it matters. Then you'll dive into three hands-on coding projects.

You'll build calculator apps using Standard I/O (STIO) and HTTP Stream, integrate APIs for dynamic content, and apply testing with GitHub Copilot.

You’ll finish by deploying your MCP on FastMCP Cloud for a complete end-to-end workflow.
