MCP Server (Part 1)
Why did Anthropic create MCP? This guide breaks down the theory and architecture behind the Model Context Protocol. We explore the roles of the Host, Client, and Server, and why the separation of concerns is the secret to building reusable AI tools.
Part 2: Async Primitives, Standard I/O, and python environment
Master the basic asynchronous primitives, environment isolation, and Standard I/O stream mechanics that power the protocol. Here is your engineering guide to python virtual environments, asyncio coroutines, context managers, and JSON-RPC standard streams.
