An open-source Microsoft curriculum teaching the fundamentals of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) through real-world examples in .NET, Java, TypeScript, JavaScript, Rust, and Python. It covers practical techniques for building modular, scalable, and secure AI workflows, from session setup to service orchestration.
Use cases
- learn the model context protocol from scratch
- build an MCP server in Python or TypeScript
- understand MCP security best practices
- find cross-language MCP code examples
- get started integrating AI agents with MCP
- teach a course on MCP fundamentals
When to choose
- you are new to MCP and want a structured, hands-on curriculum
- you want working examples in multiple programming languages
- you need guidance on building secure, scalable MCP-based AI workflows
When to avoid
- you need production MCP tooling or a runtime library rather than learning material
- you are already an advanced MCP developer seeking deep reference documentation
- you need a protocol specification rather than a tutorial
