Welcome to MCP Playbook - Episode 1, the first video in a new series where we build real, action-taking AI applications powered by Claude and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). In this episode, we create a complete Python-based To-Do List MCP server and connect it to Claude Desktop to manage tasks in real time. Claude will be able to create tasks, add new items, update them, delete them, and read your full list — all through natural language. This project is the ideal starting point for anyone who wants to learn how to build practical MCP apps and see Claude take real action beyond text. 🧱 What We Build in Episode 1: In this first episode of the MCP Playbook, we build a complete Python-based To-Do List application powered by MCP and Claude. You’ll learn: What MCP is and how it allows Claude to call your Python functions How the MCP server-client setup works and why it’s useful How to build a To-Do List app that can: Create a to-do list Add new tasks Update existing tasks Delete tasks Store everything in a CSV file How to run your MCP server locally How to connect the server to Claude Desktop How to watch Claude add, edit, and delete to-dos live using calls you created 🎯 Who This Video Is Useful For: This episode is perfect for: Developers building AI-powered apps Python beginners wanting a real hands-on project Students learning AI, Python, or automation AI engineers exploring tool calling Anyone exploring MCP 🧰 Project Code GitHub Repo: https://github.com/shvinn/mcp-playbook/tree/main/01-todo-mcp-server MCP Playbook Full Playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgssDM3xS4BjeSLlbrCrIaQRQLpLwqapd
