Explore how large language models gain value when given custom context and see MCP, a USB-C-like protocol, standardizing data-source connections via AMQP.
Explore the MCP transport layer and JSON RPC message types - requests, responses, and notifications - and how they travel via SDO, server sent events, or streamable http.
Learn to build an MCP server with fast MCP in Python, using decorators to generate tool schemas, set up with uv, and test via the amqp inspector across protocols.
Explain how resources in the MCP server become application controlled, including uris, dynamic resource templates, and client-driven selection to fetch system and customer logs.
Prompts are predefined AMQP prompt templates for AI interactions stored on the server, enabling users to generate customer issue summaries from logs with a client-side language model.
Deploy your MCP server to Google Cloud with Docker, push the image to Artifact Registry, and run on Google Run with proper tagging and HTTP transport.
Explore the model context protocol (MCP), its transport layer, and build a real MCP server with fast MCP, using the Technova example to integrate tools and prompts in lm apps.
The AI industry just unified around ONE integration standard - and you need to know it.
In March 2025, OpenAI officially adopted MCP. Google DeepMind followed in April, calling it "rapidly becoming the open standard for the AI agentic era." Over 5,000 MCP servers now exist in the ecosystem, growing from zero in just 6 months.
This isn't just another protocol - it's the "USB-C for AI applications" that enterprises like Goldman Sachs, AT&T, and Block are already using in production.
The Problem MCP Solves
Before: "Who are our at-risk customers?" → "I don't have access to your CRM system..."
After: "Based on your Salesforce data, 5 enterprise customers are at risk this month: Acme Corp has 72% decreased usage, 3 open tickets, renewal in 45 days..."
