Building Agents with Model Context Protocol - Full Workshop with Mahesh Murag of Anthropic
AI Engineer. Anthropic's Mahesh Murag walking through MCP's design — why tools, resources, and prompts are separated, how clients negotiate capabilities, what production hosts actually do with the protocol. Watch it after the build to understand the parts of MCP the SDK quietly hides and to calibrate the article's "production-ready" checklist against the spec authors' intent.
AI Expert note
Strong as architecture background, but not enough by itself for deployment. Pair it with current security guidance on credentials, user consent, tool permissions and hosted server exposure.
What you should get from this
Understand how MCP fits into agentic systems beyond a local demo server.
