MCP-A2A-Udemy

## Model Context Protocol (MCP) Course Directory Overview This document gives you a chapter-by-chapter map of the MCP-A2A Udemy repository. Each folder focuses on one key concept or tool in the Model Context Protocol ecosystem. --- # Directories ## 01_FirstMCPServer 💡 Setting up and running your first basic server that implements the Model Context Protocol. ## 02_TransportMethods Exploring different transport methods: `SSE` (Server-Sent Events), `streamable-http` (stateless vs. stateful), and `stdio` for MCP communication. ## 03_RessourcesPromptsTools Defining and managing resources, prompts, and tools within the MCP framework. ## 04_Context Deep dive into the powerful `Context` object of the FastMCP package. ## 05_Discovery Dynamically updating clients when a server adds, updates, or removes tools. ## 06_Roots Understanding roots in MCP: boundaries that tell servers where they may operate and how clients can announce relevant resources. ## 07_Sampling Letting servers request LLM completions through the client. Techniques for sampling context, selecting tools, and managing information flow. ## 08_LangGraph_MCP Integrating MCP with LangGraph to connect an MCP Server to a modern LLM. ## 09_Authorization Securing MCP services through proper authorization mechanisms. This chapter demonstrates how to implement the OAuth 2.1 workflow using Auth0 as the identity provider. ## 10_Fastapi_Integration Embedding MCP servers into the FastAPI ecosystem to create robust, production-ready services. ## 11_Composition Strategies for composing multiple, independent MCP services into one cohesive system. ## 12_Proxy_Servers Proxies that bridge legacy SSE traffic to the new streamable-http method, while routing and enhancing requests. ## 13_Capstone A full-stack, Docker-based AI web application (frontend + API server + MCP server) that ties together everything you’ve learned. ## 14_Env_ToolFlags Env-driven tool enabling with `.env` flags (`MCP_TOOL_ADD`, `MCP_TOOL_SUBTRACT`). The client lists tools over HTTP. Focus: feature toggles without middleware or tags. ## 15_StructuredOutputs Structured tool outputs using MCP output schemas (2025-06-18) in FastMCP >= 2.10.0. Returns a `CallToolResult` with auto-deserialized JSON. ## 16_Elicitation Elicitation per the 2025-06-18 MCP update in FastMCP >= 2.10.0. The server requests extra input and the client supplies it, including implicit and no-response flows. ## 17_Middleware Intercepts `list_tools` and `call_tool` with MCP middleware for auth, logging, rate limiting, and error handling introduced in 2.9.0. ## 18_Context_State Uses `Context.session_id` for per-session state plus `report_progress` and logging. Compatible with FastMCP >=2.9.x ## 19_DeclarativeJSON Declarative server configuration via `fastmcp.json`. Uses the MCP-JSON CLI export added in 2.10.3. ## 20_Tags_Filtering Filters tools by query `?tags=...` in a `list_tools` middleware against `component.tags`. --- Happy Coding! 🎉
