MCP Simplified: The Hands-On Guide for Beginners

About this course

You don’t need to be an expert coder to start learning MCP. You need curiosity, a developer mindset, and a willingness to explore how things work by building them.

In this unique MCP curriculum, you’ll learn what the Model Context Protocol is and how it helps AI applications connect with tools and data. The course introduces the concepts step by step, covers the Python basics you need for building your first MCP Server, and also shows how to create MCP Server with low-code option i.e. n8n. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to:

• Explain MCP Concept, its purpose, architecture and how it is different from APIs

Build and test Account Manager MCP server using Python Create MCP Tools to add, update, get and delete accounts Understand and build Resources and Prompts for your Account Manager MCPValidate MCP features using Postman and MCP Inspector

Understand local vs remote (STDIO vs Streamable HTTP)Understand MCP 2.0 Protocol (July-2026 release), JSON-RPC and MCP Authorization Flows[For non-coders] Create OAuth2-protected MCP Server using n8n, a modern low-code/no-code workflow automation tool

Your learning journey snapshot:

You’ll build an Account Manager MCP server with intuitive tools, then create resources and prompts and connect them to an AI agent (VSCode). Along the way, you’ll test your work with Postman and MCP Inspector, explore Local MCP and Remote MCP types, and learn about modern MCP 2.0 protocol, architecture and authorization. You’ll also build with n8n (on self-hosted free edition), giving you a way to experiment with MCP without writing any code.
