🤖 MCP Will Change How You Think About AI Integration

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the unsung hero behind modern tool-using AI agents. In this video, we demystify how AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude can securely and seamlessly interact with external tools, APIs, databases, calendars, file systems, and more using MCP. From internal MCP clients to external MCP servers, we explore how this open protocol turns static LLMs into dynamic, action-taking agents. You’ll also get a solid technical overview of JSON-RPC, transport layers, SDKs, and how to build your own tools using Python. Whether you're an AI engineer, system architect, or just AI-curious, this deep dive will transform your understanding of real-world AI integrations.
