How MCP Works

Understand the Model Context Protocol, clients, servers, tools, resources, and security.

  1. STEP 01

    MCP basics

    Start with the smallest useful implementation. Define inputs, outputs, dependencies, failure modes, and the boundary between automated actions and human decisions. Test one measurable outcome before expanding the system.

  2. STEP 02

    Client and server

    Start with the smallest useful implementation. Define inputs, outputs, dependencies, failure modes, and the boundary between automated actions and human decisions. Test one measurable outcome before expanding the system.

  3. STEP 03

    Tools

    Start with the smallest useful implementation. Define inputs, outputs, dependencies, failure modes, and the boundary between automated actions and human decisions. Test one measurable outcome before expanding the system.

  4. STEP 04

    Resources

    Start with the smallest useful implementation. Define inputs, outputs, dependencies, failure modes, and the boundary between automated actions and human decisions. Test one measurable outcome before expanding the system.

  5. STEP 05

    Security

    Start with the smallest useful implementation. Define inputs, outputs, dependencies, failure modes, and the boundary between automated actions and human decisions. Test one measurable outcome before expanding the system.

  6. STEP 06

    When to use it

    Start with the smallest useful implementation. Define inputs, outputs, dependencies, failure modes, and the boundary between automated actions and human decisions. Test one measurable outcome before expanding the system.
