The Model Context Protocol (MCP) has rapidly become the industry standard for connecting AI agents to a wide range of external tools and services in a consistent way. In a matter of months, this protocol has become a hot topic in developer events and forums and has been implemented by companies large and small. With such rapid change comes the need for training and upskilling to meet the moment! That's why, we're planning a series of virtual training events across different languages (both natural and programming) to introduce you to MCP.
