The most interesting thing in software right now is MCP. It's a protocol that transforms applications into intelligent conversationalists: instead of clicking through menus, users start interacting with services through natural language, voice, and AI agents.

MCP is not just another API. It's a new way to design interactions: it standardizes how applications offer their capabilities, resources, and context so that LLMs and agents can understand and utilize them. MCP is already being used in real products today, and the ecosystem is rapidly growing.

What the course will provide:

Understanding of MCP architecture and the ability to create functional servers
Practice with advanced tools, long-running processes, and interactive UI
Knowledge of secure authentication and working with user data
Skills in designing modern applications for new interaction models

Format:

Two-week intensive cohort format
4 master workshops: Fundamentals, Advanced Features, MCP-UI, and MCP-Auth
Assignments and challenges 4 times a week, plus bonuses for advanced learners
1–2 hours of classes per day balancing theory and practice

Outcome:

By the end of the course, you will have your own MCP server, knowledge of the ecosystem, and practical skills that put developers at the forefront of the industry.
