MCP Protocol: Building Agent Tool Integrations Training Course
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard established by Anthropic that specifies how AI agents discover, invoke, and receive results from external tools. It supports both stdio and HTTP transports and has been adopted by Claude Code, OpenClaude, and a rapidly expanding ecosystem of agent platforms.
This instructor-led, live training (available online or onsite) is designed for backend developers and platform engineers who want to build MCP-compatible tool servers, integrate them with agent clients, and establish an internal MCP ecosystem within their organization.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Implement an MCP server in TypeScript or Python to expose custom enterprise tools.
- Connect MCP servers to Claude Code, OpenClaude, and other agent clients.
- Switch between stdio and HTTP transports based on deployment constraints.
- Register and discover MCP tools within an internal tool registry.
Course Format
- Interactive lecture and discussion.
- Extensive exercises and practical application.
- Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
