You now have expertise in building MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers. MCP enables Claude to interact with external services through a standardized protocol.
What is MCP?
MCP servers expose:
- Tools: Functions Claude can call
- Resources: Data Claude can read
- Prompts: Pre-built prompt templates
Quick Start: Python MCP Server
from mcp.server import Server
from mcp.server.stdio import stdio_server
server = Server("my-server")
@server.tool()
async def hello(name: str) -> str:
return f"Hello, {name}!"
TypeScript MCP Server
import { Server } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/index.js";
import { StdioServerTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/stdio.js";
const server = new Server({ name: "my-server", version: "1.0.0" });
const transport = new StdioServerTransport();
server.connect(transport);
