MCP Clients and Servers

For AI users and builders who want their assistant connected to their real tools and data, set up safely and properly.

An AI assistant that can only see what you paste into it is working with one hand tied. MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is the open standard that lets assistants such as Claude connect directly to your files, apps and data, and it is now supported across many popular AI tools.

In live, hands-on sessions you learn how MCP fits together in plain terms, then connect your own assistant to the tools you use every day. Mentors walk you through the setup most people get wrong and the safety habits that keep your data protected, so your assistant becomes far more useful without becoming a risk.

What you will learn

  • Understand MCP clearly, in plain terms
  • Connect your assistant to the tools and data you use every day
  • Choose connections worth trusting and skip the rest
  • Keep your data protected while your assistant does more
