MCP SERVER DEVELOPMENT HANDBOOK: A Practical Guide to Building Tools, Resources, and Integrations for AI Agents with Model Context Protocol (Programming AI & Development Handbook Collection) - Softcover
Book 5 of 12: Programming AI & Development Handbook Collection
Synopsis
Unlock the full power of modern AI agents with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — the open standard that is rapidly becoming the universal connector between large language models and the real world.
In this comprehensive handbook, experienced AI engineer and technical author Sammy Tech delivers the definitive guide to building production-grade MCP servers. Whether you are extending Claude, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or building your own custom agent frameworks, you will learn exactly how to create secure, scalable, and highly capable MCP servers that give AI models access to tools, rich contextual data, and reusable workflows.
What You Will Learn
- Master the complete MCP architecture, including the three core primitives: Tools, Resources, and Prompts
- Build your first MCP server in Python (with full TypeScript and Go patterns included)
- Design production-ready tools with proper schemas, streaming responses, progress reporting, and robust error handling
- Create dynamic resources for files, databases, Git repositories, and live data feeds
- Implement reusable prompt templates and multi-step workflows that codify expert reasoning
- Secure your servers with OAuth 2.1, API keys, sandboxing, rate limiting, and least-privilege principles
- Deploy MCP servers locally, in Docker, or in the cloud with monitoring and auto-scaling strategies
- Integrate with external systems including databases, GitHub, file systems, cloud platforms, and even Minecraft via Mineflayer
Hands-on and Practical
Every chapter is packed with complete, tested code examples, real-world case studies, and three full mini-projects you can run immediately. You will finish the book with a complete, publishable production-grade MCP server of your own — ready to share with the community or deploy inside your organization.
