Yes. This course helped me to understand MCP from basics to Pro, as it says. Excellent content & explanation by the instructor Kshitij Joy. Its so interesting and engaging me continuously. Appreciate to explain in simple terms as deep as possible.

By Vijayakumar Arumugam on 6/7/2026

The session was highly effective and well-delivered. The content was clear, easy to follow, and covered MACP comprehensively from A to Z. Overall it was an excellent learning experience, and I greatly appreciate the effort put into the session.

By Rafael Hernampérez on 11/3/2025

The course is good. Teacher understand very well the concept and explains it clearly. The problem is that the classes referred to code or visit a given web, the screen is not amplified, and I can't see the code and text when he is explaining, and I'm lost. The view is very small and I can't see well what the teacher is explaining.

By Peter Ben Bieri on 8/19/2025

Very glad to have come across this course, learned a lot. Unfortunately, the SQLite MCP server seems to be now archived. Thats somewhat the nature of the beast. Also, as the instruction is based on Mac, there are quite some quirks for Windows users. But seems for AI/LLM its anyway better to use Linux, which I'll try to do next.

By Vince Russo on 8/19/2025

While the instructor does a good job explaining the concepts, the core materials are a bit dated. The SqlLite server is now archived in the MCP server project and langgraph has made internal updates to its dependency execution and you need to use version .0.6.3 to run the sqlite v2 python script. Other than that it's going very well so far.

By Ravi Prasad on 7/13/2025

I genuinely appreciate the way this course breaks down complex concepts into such simple, easy-to-understand explanations. The instructor has a real talent for making advanced topics approachable, which is incredibly helpful for learners at all levels. The clarity of instruction, practical examples, and well-structured flow made the learning process smooth and enjoyable. I feel much more confident in the subject now, thanks to this course. Highly recommended for anyone looking to grasp the fundamentals without getting overwhelmed!

By Shah Zaib on 7/9/2025

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This MCP Basic to Pro course by Kshitij Joy is an absolute gem! As someone who started with little to no background in Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) concepts, I found the structure of the course incredibly helpful. Kshitij explains everything clearly, step-by-step, and builds a strong foundation before moving on to advanced topics. What really stood out was the balance between theory and practical application — it's not just about passing the exam, but truly understanding the material. His teaching style is calm, thorough, and encouraging, making even the complex topics approachable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to build a solid MCP skillset and advance their career in Ai. This course delivers exactly what it promises — and more!

By Subir Debnath on 7/1/2025

Great course Kshitij! Many thanks for creating the courses the new topics that along with use cases and examples. These help students like me to understand better and implement in our scenario although always seem to be catching with with the tide. :)

By Bharat Ruparel on 6/16/2025

Kshitij continues to produce very useful material that can be immediately applied. I like his focus on fundamentals and simplifying things simple as much as possible without compromising the core utility. His approach resonates with me. MCP is a core piece of puzzle in Gen AI significantly adding to the LLM functionality.

By KumR . on 6/9/2025

Kshitij's MCP course exceeded all my expectations. As someone deeply involved in Gen AI, I found the content incredibly relevant, practical, and well-structured. Each module was thoughtfully designed, offering a perfect blend of functional walkthroughs and real-world use cases.The interface is intuitive, the scenarios are realistic, and the course empowers you to take control of customer management, invoicing, payments, and aging reports with confidence. It’s clear the KJ truly understood the day-to-day challenges and have built a solution that directly addresses them.Highly recommend it for anyone in AI looking to elevate their skills and streamline operations using a powerful, centralized platform.
