19 minutesBuilding more effective AI agents
Improve tool design so agents select the right action with the right parameters.
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.
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.
Understand how MCP fits into agentic systems beyond a local demo server.

Hand-picked external courses that go deeper on this topic.
Emory University Goizueta Business School faculty
The deeper, university-level counterpart to our beginner HubSpot marketing pick — Emory's business-school treatment goes past 'how to prompt' into training generative models for brand-specific output, the purchase-funnel economics of AI-generated content, and a full module of genuine skepticism about when generative AI is and isn't worth using in marketing.
IBM AI Academy
The genAI-era answer to the executive-strategy question. Three short courses aimed squarely at business leaders — no technical background required — on where generative AI creates value, how to govern it responsibly, and how to turn a vague "we should use AI" into a concrete, defensible use case.
