Tutorial
Writing your first MCP server
A step-by-step guide to building, testing and shipping a Model Context Protocol server that exposes your own tools to an agent.
Model Context Protocol lets a coding agent call tools you define. This tutorial walks through the full lifecycle: defining a tool schema, handling a call, returning structured results, and wiring the server into a client. By the end you will have a working server and a clear mental model of where MCP fits in an agent's tool loop.
