Building MCP Servers
Anyone connecting agents to MCP servers: developers, PMs, ops. No code written in Part 1.
Authored from a versioned source-of-truth outline held by the course owner — every module traces to a numbered section of it, and a change there is what triggers a module's revision.
Get certified
The Part 1 modules stay free forever. Getting certified adds a verifiable completion certificate and access to the graded capstone — the 'prove it' half.
