Description
LLM Integration and MCP Server Development – 1-Day Technical Program
The objective of this training is to enable participants to understand the Model Context Protocol (MCP) architecture and securely integrate LLM-based systems with external environments such as APIs, file systems, databases, and Git.
By the end of the training, participants will be able to understand the MCP architecture, build a simple MCP server, utilize MCP tools within Claude Code and Cursor environments, and design secure, enterprise-grade MCP architectures.
Training Outcomes
- Technical understanding of MCP architecture
