Upon completing this training, participants will be capable of:
- Developing an MCP server in TypeScript or Python that exposes custom enterprise tools.
- Connecting MCP servers to Claude Code, OpenClaude, and other agent clients.
- Selecting between stdio and HTTP transports based on deployment requirements.
- Registering and discovering MCP tools within an internal tool registry.
Course Format
- Interactive lectures and discussions.
- Extensive exercises and practical applications.
- Hands-on implementation in a live laboratory environment.
