What it does

Guide for creating high-quality Model Context Protocol servers that expose tools and resources to LLMs. Use this when you need to integrate external APIs, databases, or services so Claude can interact with them reliably. Covers both Python (FastMCP) and TypeScript (MCP SDK) implementations with emphasis on real-world usability.

  • Design and implement MCP servers with well-structured tools, resources, and prompts
  • Learn modern patterns for exposing APIs and services to LLMs with proper error handling
  • Choose between FastMCP (Python) or MCP SDK (Node/TypeScript) based on your tech stack
  • Deploy production-ready servers that enable Claude to accomplish real external tasks
