The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard by Anthropic that lets AI models connect to external tools and data sources via JSON-RPC 2.0. These tutorials cover building MCP servers with TypeScript and Python SDKs, configuring hosts like Claude Desktop and Cursor, creating tools and resources, and deploying servers to production. Each guide includes working code examples and best practices.
