Model Context Protocol (MCP) Curriculum for Beginners

A hands-on open-source curriculum teaching the Model Context Protocol (MCP) with cross-language examples and practical labs to build secure, production-ready MCP servers and clients.

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open specification designed to standardize interactions between AI models and client applications. This open-source curriculum provides a structured learning path with hands-on examples in C#, Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, and Rust. It guides learners from fundamental concepts, transport and authentication, to building MCP servers and clients, applying security and multi-tenancy patterns, and deploying production-ready systems.

Key features

  • Cross-language examples and labs for multiple runtimes.
  • Security and multi-tenant patterns, including authentication and row-level security guidance.
  • Modular curriculum from fundamentals to deployment, with sample servers, CI, and deployment scripts.

Use cases

  • Teams integrating model services into heterogeneous client environments who need a standard protocol and interoperability testing.
  • Educators and trainers delivering hands-on MCP workshops or courses.
  • Engineers validating interoperability, performance, and security across languages and runtimes.

Technical highlights

  • Ready-to-run sample projects, notebooks, and CI configurations for reproducible learning and testing.
  • Modular, multi-language structure that supports incremental learning and production adoption.
  • MIT-licensed open-source project with active community contributions.
