Intro to MCP Servers – Course for Beginners
Learn to build Mono-Context Protocol (MCP) servers with FastMCP. MCP is the standard that lets AI agents, like GitHub Copilot and Gemini, securely interact with your databases, functions, and apps. You will learn what MCP is and why it matters, then dive into three hands-on coding scenarios: building calculator examples using Standard I/O (STIO) and HTTP Stream (HPP), integrating APIs for dynamic content, and applying essential testing with GitHub Copilot. You’ll finish by deploying your MCP on FastMCP Cloud for a complete end-to-end workflow.
