I’ve been diving into agent frameworks lately and kept seeing “MCP” pop up everywhere. At first I thought it was just another buzzword… but turns out, Model Context Protocol is actually super useful.

While figuring it out, I realized there wasn’t a lot of beginner-focused content on it, so I put together a short video that covers:

What exactly is MCP (in plain English)

How it Works

How to get started using it with a sample setup

Nothing fancy, just trying to break it down in a way I wish someone did for me earlier

Here’s the video if anyone’s curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RH_vdF2iGdo

Let me know what you think!





This is so well written!
