Model Context Protocol (MCP): An End-To-End Tutorial With Hands-On Project with Python

What is MCP? How to create an MPC Server that brings news from a web site with Claude Desktop?

The world of artificial intelligence is constantly evolving and we wake up to new news almost every day. What we need to learn now is MCP (Model Context Protocol). Before moving on to what it is and its purpose, let’s look at what the protocol means.

What is Protocol?

In the computer world, a protocol is a set of rules that determine how two systems will communicate with each other. Protocols regulate data transfer in computer networks, internet communication, and between software systems.

For example:

• HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol): Allows websites to communicate with browsers.
• TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol): Defines how data packets on the internet will be routed.
• JSON-RPC (Remote Procedure Call): A protocol that allows data exchange in JSON format.

Now we can move on to MCP and its features.
