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
