Build Your Own MCP Server Learn how to build a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server from scratch. MCP lets you extend AI assistants like Claude with custom tools—giving them direct access to your network devices, automation scripts, and infrastructure. What you'll learn: - What MCP is and how it works - Setting up your development environment - Building a functional MCP server step-by-step - Connecting your server to an AI client Why network engineers should care: MCP opens the door to AI-assisted network operations. Imagine asking an AI to check interface status, pull routing tables, or troubleshoot connectivity—and having it actually execute those commands on your devices. This video gives you the foundation to build those integrations.
