Course Overview

Model Context Protocol (MCP): Build AI Tools

Build AI tools and integrations with the Model Context Protocol, the open standard that connects LLMs to data, tools, and APIs. This track covers 30 progressive mini-courses from absolute beginner (A1) through advanced (B2), with short focused lessons and quick quizzes to lock in each concept.

What You Will Learn

You start with the fundamentals and build up through intermediate and advanced topics, each course building on the last. Every lesson is practical and bite-sized, with a 24/7 AI tutor available when you need help.

How It Works

Each course is broken into four focused, bite-sized lessons. Complete a few lessons a day and you will master the full track in weeks, not months.
