Course Description

Master the Model Context Protocol (MCP): Build MCP Servers in Python & TypeScript

Learn how to build MCP servers step by step and create production-ready AI agents powered by the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This hands-on course covers everything from MCP Python SDK and TypeScript SDK setup to deploying and publishing secure MCP servers for real-world LLM integration.

The Model Context Protocol is the emerging standard for connecting AI agents to external tools, data sources, and APIs. Whether you're building agentic AI solutions, integrating MCP clients with Large Language Models, or exploring how MCP vs other AI integration frameworks compares—this is your complete guide to Model Context Protocol development.

You'll master MCP server and MCP client architecture, understand STDIO vs Streamable HTTP transport layers, learn to build AI agents with MCP, and debug, test, and inspect your implementations like a pro. By the end, you'll confidently deploy and publish MCP solutions that are secure, scalable, and production-ready.

What You'll Master

Foundation & Setup
Start strong with a solid understanding of MCP architecture, hosts, and the ecosystem. Set up your development environment and connect your first external MCP within minutes—no prior experience required.

Hands-On Building in Two Languages
Choose your weapon—or learn both! Build complete MCP servers in TypeScript and Python with parallel implementations using the MCP Python SDK and TypeScript SDK. Compare approaches side by side and pick what works best for your projects.

Core Concepts That Matter

  • Navigate MCP transport layers including STDIO vs Streamable HTTP implementations

  • Master the three MCP primitives: Tools, Resources, and Prompts

  • Understand when to use Resources vs Tools for optimal performance

  • Learn to build secure MCP servers with proper authentication patterns

  • Debug, test, and inspect your MCPs like a pro

Real-World Practice Project
Put theory into action with a complete, practical MCP project where you'll build a fully functional pizza ordering system using agentic AI patterns. Learn to handle HTTP calls, display images in responses, manage parameters, and track orders through a real-world implementation.

Why This Course?

  • Parallel Language Support: Every major concept taught in both TypeScript and Python

  • Progressive Learning: From "Hello World" to complex LLM integrations

  • Production-Ready Skills: Learn patterns for real MCP deployment, not just toy examples

  • Security-First Approach: Build and secure MCP servers for enterprise use

  • Hands-On Practice: Build actual working AI agent projects

Who This Is For

  • Developers looking to integrate AI agents into existing applications

  • AI enthusiasts ready to move beyond basic chatbot interactions into agentic AI

  • Backend engineers exploring modern AI architectures and LLM integration frameworks

  • Anyone curious about building next-generation AI agent infrastructure

By the End of This Course

You'll confidently build custom MCP servers and MCP clients that extend AI capabilities with external tools, serve dynamic resources, and create seamless integrations. Whether you're building internal tools, commercial products, or experimental projects, you'll have the skills to make AI work with your systems, not just alongside them.

The future of AI is extensible. Learn to build it.

Instructor Details

Alex Dan

Alex Dan — Cloud Architect, Developer & Instructor

With over a decade of hands-on software engineering experience, I've built my career at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, web development, and practical education.

My technical journey started in embedded automotive systems — developing Java-based navigation solutions for major car brands. From there, I moved into cloud engineering, building AWS-powered data pipelines for connected vehicles using Node.js, TypeScript, Lambda, DynamoDB, and a full suite of AWS services. I later worked as a Node.js developer at one of Eastern Europe's largest e-commerce platforms, before transitioning into independent cloud architecture consulting.

Today, as a freelance Cloud Architect, I design and implement scalable cloud solutions across industries — from automotive to enterprise — with a focus on infrastructure reliability, CI/CD automation, and modern serverless architectures.

Parallel to my engineering career, I've been teaching on Udemy since 2017, growing a community of over 300,000 students across 19 courses. My current focus is AI-assisted development — helping developers work smarter with tools like GitHub Copilot, VS Code AI extensions, and agentic coding workflows.

Thank you Alex for creating such a concise and informative introduction to MCP. This course goes far beyond the typical MCP Weather app you find from other instructors. Not only does Alex show you HOW to create and authenticate an MCP server, he also helps you understand WHY you'd want to create one. My favorite quote from Alex is "AI is not free. And not only is it not free, its not cheap!". I agree with you completely, Alex, that these facts are not stated often enough! In order to be successful developers who use AI tools, cost needs to be an integral part of our decision-making.

The course is overall good. Suggest to drop the Typescript implementation which can save half of time.

By Janis K on 3/3/2026

Thanks especially for the MCP authentication section!

By Kavi Maaran on 2/21/2026

I’ve been following the MCP hype for a while, but this course actually showed me how to implement it. The focus on building both Python and TypeScript servers was exactly what I needed.

By Crock Saunders on 2/12/2026

Learned a lot about MCP. Used it with Python. Many thanks!

By Trần Đinh Xuân Thành on 2/10/2026

Understandable, and good for beginners in creating MCP.

By Mandapalle Uma Sri Krishna on 2/5/2026

Master the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to build next-generation AI agents that go beyond chat. Learn how to design robust AI integrations in TypeScript or Python, connect models to real tools and data sources, and ship agents that actually work in production.

By Mike schulte on 1/18/2026

Really clear and well-structured course. MCP is explained in a practical way with hands-on examples in both TypeScript and Python. The projects, tools, workflows, and auth sections make it easy to apply what you learn. Great course if you want real MCP experience.

By Mark EAMES on 12/16/2025

Clearly explained, good pace, enhances your practical expertise with MCP

By Francisco Reyes on 12/5/2025

Awesome course! Waiting for next lessons or a new course focused on MCP Client and integration with Agents and LLMs.
