Master Model Context Protocol end-to-end by wiring Claude Desktop and Cursor to real tools, then building your own FastMCP servers with authentication and database-backed state. You’ll finish by orchestrating multiple MCP servers and packaging workflows so the same tool contracts stay reusable across assistants and external orchestrators.
8 modules • Each builds on the previous one
Learn MCP’s core objects (tools, resources, prompts), client/server responsibilities, and the typical request lifecycle so you can reason about integrations before writing code.
Get a known-good MCP server running locally, inspect its tool list, and validate invocation paths so you have a baseline before customizing anything.
Configure MCP in real clients (Claude Desktop and Cursor), validate tool discovery, and run repeatable test prompts that reliably invoke tools.
Implement a small custom MCP server exposing one tool, one resource, and one prompt, then connect it to a client and validate correct schemas and results.
Add safe credential handling (env vars/secret managers), scoped permissions, and auth flows appropriate for calling external services from MCP tools.
Expose database queries through MCP tools with safety controls (read-only modes, parameterization, allowlists), and return structured results optimized for downstream tool chaining.
Wrap external APIs as MCP tools with robust reliability patterns: retries, rate limits, pagination, idempotency, and structured error handling that supports multi-tool planning.
Chain multiple MCP tools into reusable workflows, integrate Zapier via webhooks/actions, and build a portability layer so the same tool contracts can be used from Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT-style function calling.
