◆ NEW IN 2025 — CRITICAL SKILL

MCP Servers &
AI Agents.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is how modern AI agents connect to the real world — databases, APIs, code, file systems. Introduced by Anthropic in 2024, it's already showing up in GenAI job postings. This track covers it.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
  • What MCP is and why it matters for agentic AI
  • Building MCP servers in Python or TypeScript
  • Connecting LLMs to tools: databases, APIs, file systems
  • Claude / GPT-4 tool use and function calling
  • Multi-step AI agents that reason and act
  • Deploying agents to production
