Curator's note
Model Context Protocol (MCP) standardizes AI integrations with tools and data, akin to REST for web apps, solving fragmentation. This guide series covers building MCP servers/clients, LangChain adaptations, scaling, Server-Sent Events, GCP deployment, streamable HTTP clients, and agentic RAG. It enables reusable connections: hosts manage clients/servers for external context. Hands-on projects transform custom hacks into efficient, scalable AI-data pipelines.
