Understanding MCP From Scratch
From the video description
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standardized protocol that connects AI models with various data sources and tools. It functions like a "USB-C port for AI applications," allowing LLMs to seamlessly interact with local files, databases, APIs, and custom tools. But, it can be challenging to understand. Here, we breakdown how MCP works, build an MCP server for LangGraph docs from scratch, and connect it to Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.
