How MCP Works
Understand the Model Context Protocol, clients, servers, tools, resources, and security.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
