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.
