Python + MCP: Building MCP servers with FastMCP

Description

In the intro session of our Python + MCP series, we dive into the hottest technology of 2025: MCP (Model Context Protocol). This open protocol makes it easy to extend AI agents and chatbots with custom functionality, making them more powerful and flexible. We demonstrate how to use the Python FastMCP SDK to build an MCP server running locally and consume that server from chatbots like GitHub Copilot. Then we build our own MCP client to consume the server. Finally, we discover how easy it is to connect AI agent frameworks like Langchain and Microsoft agent-framework to MCP servers. 🔎 Explore the repo - https://aka.ms/PythonMCP/repo 📌 This session is a part of a series, learn more here: https://aka.ms/Python/MCP/25 #MicrosoftReactor #learnconnectbuild [eventID:26542]
