Introduction to Model Context Protocol

Completed the course Introduction to Model Context Protocol, focused on building MCP servers and clients from scratch using the Python SDK.

Course takeaways:

• MCP architecture and its three core primitives: Tools, Resources, and Prompts
• Building MCP servers using Python decorators instead of manual JSON schemas
• Implementing MCP clients and handling resource access with MIME type awareness
• Using the MCP Server Inspector for browser-based testing and debugging
• Understanding when to use each primitive: tools (model-controlled), resources (app-controlled), prompts (user-controlled)
