MCP: From Basics to Building Your First App: Free Crash Course

Last weekend, we hosted a live workshop on building agents with MCP (Model Context Protocol), led by Shaw Talebi.

In this hands-on crash course, Shaw broke down what MCP is, why it matters, and how it works in real-world applications. After covering the core concepts, he guided participants through building a simple app step by step — so you can see MCP in action.

The goal of this session was to make MCP feel concrete and approachable. By the end, you’ll have both a solid understanding of the fundamentals and a working example to use as a starting point for your own projects.
