Inhaltsangabe

Unlock the full power of modern AI agents with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — the open standard that is rapidly becoming the universal connector between large language models and the real world.

In this comprehensive handbook, experienced AI engineer and technical author Sammy Tech delivers the definitive guide to building production-grade MCP servers. Whether you are extending Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or building your own custom agent frameworks, you will learn exactly how to create secure, scalable, and highly capable MCP servers that give AI models access to tools, rich contextual data, and reusable workflows.

What You Will Learn

• Master the complete MCP architecture, including the three core primitives: Tools, Resources, and Prompts
• Build your first MCP server in Python (with full TypeScript and Go patterns included)
• Design production-ready tools with proper schemas, streaming responses, progress reporting, and robust error handling
• Create dynamic resources for files, databases, Git repositories, and live data feeds
• Implement reusable prompt templates and multi-step workflows that codify expert reasoning
• Secure your servers with OAuth 2.1, API keys, sandboxing, rate limiting, and least-privilege principles
• Deploy MCP servers locally, in Docker, or in the cloud with monitoring and auto-scaling strategies
• Integrate with external systems including databases, GitHub, file systems, cloud platforms, and even Minecraft via Mineflayer

Hands-on and Practical

Every chapter is packed with complete, tested code examples, real-world case studies, and three full mini-projects you can run immediately. You will finish the book with a complete, publishable production-grade MCP server of your own — ready to share with the community or deploy inside your organization.

Who This Book Is For

• AI engineers and backend developers building agentic applications
• Technical leads integrating LLMs into enterprise workflows
• Developers who want to extend Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible tools
• Anyone ready to move beyond simple prompt engineering and tool-calling to create truly connected AI systems

Written in a clear, professional style with deep technical insight and practical guidance, MCP Server Development Handbook is the essential reference for anyone serious about MCP server development in 2026 and beyond.

Master the protocol that connects AI to the real world.
