Day 4. Picking MCP because it's the protocol where Chandana's AWS work and my agent work actually meet — feels like the right thing to learn together.
Topics to cover:
- What MCP is and why it matters — client / server / transport, how it differs from plain function-calling
- Building a Python MCP server — exposing tools, resources, and prompts
- Connecting an MCP server to Claude Desktop / IDE clients (stdio vs SSE transport)
- Hosting MCP servers on AWS — Lambda for short tools vs Fargate for long-running ones
- Securing MCP — auth, scopes, rate-limiting, handling secrets the server needs
Plan: each of us picks 2–3 items, writes notes / a small demo under our file, pushes by end of day.
