# Model Context Protocol 102 (MCP-102) - API Tutorial with Jupyter Notebook [](https://www.python.org/) [](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) > **What is this?** A hands-on tutorial teaching Python API fundamentals (requests, JSON, error handling) through a fictional MCP endpoint. No external API key required—just run the notebook to learn the patterns. ## 📌 Overview This repository is a beginner-friendly tutorial for working with MCP APIs using Jupyter Notebook. You'll learn how to: - Set up a Python virtual environment (`.venv`). - Use Jupyter Notebook for API requests and data analysis. - Follow best practices for project structure and Git version control. --- ## 🚀 Getting Started ### 1️⃣ Clone the Repository ```bash git clone https://github.com/itprodirect/Model-Context-Protocol-102.git cd Model-Context-Protocol-102 ``` ### 2️⃣ Create and Activate a Virtual Environment - **Mac/Linux** ```bash python -m venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate ``` - **Windows (CMD)** ```cmd python -m venv .venv .venv\Scripts\activate ``` - **Windows (PowerShell)** ```powershell python -m venv .venv .venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1 ``` ### 3️⃣ Install Dependencies ```bash pip install -r requirements.txt ``` ### 4️⃣ Launch Jupyter Notebook ```bash jupyter notebook ``` ### 5️⃣ Open the Notebook - Inside Jupyter, open **`Model-Context-Protocol-102.ipynb`** and follow the tutorial. --- ## 📂 Repository Structure ``` Model-Context-Protocol-102/ ├── .gitignore ├── Model-Context-Protocol-102.ipynb # Main Jupyter Notebook tutorial ├── LICENSE # MIT License ├── RUNBOOK.md # Windows quick-start script ├── requirements.txt # List of dependencies └── .venv/ # Virtual environment (not pushed to GitHub) ``` --- ## 🔥 Contributions & Issues Have ideas for improvements or found a bug?
