Description (paste into KDP) Master the Model Context Protocol (MCP)-the open standard that's revolutionizing how AI applications connect to data and tools. What is MCP? Think of MCP as USB-C for AI. Just as USB-C standardized device connections, MCP standardizes how AI models like Claude, GPT, and Gemini connect to databases, APIs, files, and custom tools. Write an integration once, use it everywhere. What You'll Learn: ✓ Core Architecture - Understand MCP's client-server model, JSON-RPC messaging, and capability negotiation ✓ The Three Primitives - Master Tools (actions), Resources (data), and Prompts (templates) ✓ Building Servers - Step-by-step guide using TypeScript and Python SDKs ✓ Client Integration - Connect to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and custom applications ✓ Security - Input validation, authentication, rate limiting, and audit logging ✓ Production Deployment - Docker, cloud platforms, scaling strategies ✓ Real-World Patterns - API wrappers, database servers, file systems, stateful sessions Who This Book Is For: - Developers building AI-powered applications - Engineers integrating AI with enterprise systems - Technical architects designing AI infrastructure - Anyone who wants AI models to access their data and tools Why MCP Matters: MCP launched in November 2024 and was adopted by OpenAI in March 2025 and Google DeepMind in April 2025. It's now the de-facto standard for AI tool integration, with thousands of community servers and official SDKs in multiple languages. Includes: - 20 chapters covering fundamentals to advanced topics - 20 technical diagrams explaining key concepts - Complete code examples in TypeScript and Python - Quick reference appendices - Troubleshooting guide Stop building custom integrations for every AI application. Learn MCP once, connect to everything.
