Description

Book Synopsis

Since its release in late 2024, Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP) has redefined how developers build and connect AI agents to tools, data, and each other. AI Agents with MCP is the first comprehensive guide to this rapidly emerging standard, helping engineers unlock its full potential with hands-on projects. Whether you're developing agentic workflows, bridging tools across platforms, or creating robust multiagent systems, this book walks you through every layer of MCP--from protocol structure to server and client implementation.

Author Kyle Stratis provides the practical expertise needed to build fully functional MCP servers, clients, and more. Unlike high-level overviews or fragmented documentation, this book gives you a deep systems-level understanding of MCP's capabilities--and limitations. With its flexible, model-agnostic design, MCP continues to gain traction across the generative AI community; this book ensures you're ready to build with it confidently and effectively.

Understand the structure and core concepts of the Model Context Protocol
Build complete MCP servers, clients, and transport layers in Python
Consume tools, prompts, and data via MCP-based agent workflows
Extend agent capabilities with MCP for large-scale and AI-native systems
