What is MCP? The Model Context Protocol is the open standard that finally connects AI models to real-world data, tools, and services — and in 2026, it's becoming the backbone of every serious AI application. In this video, I break down MCP from the ground up in just 10 minutes — covering the core problem it solves, how the architecture works, and how to build your first MCP server from scratch (live demo included). In this video, you'll learn: • Why every AI model today is "trapped" without external connections • What MCP is and the USB-C analogy that makes it click instantly • The 3-component architecture: Host → MCP Client → MCP Server • The 3 MCP primitives: Tools, Resources, and Prompts • How to build a real MCP weather server in Python (step-by-step) • The growing MCP ecosystem: Claude, VS Code, Cursor, GitHub & more ───────────────────────────────────────────── ⏱ CHAPTERS / TIMESTAMPS ───────────────────────────────────────────── 0:00 — Hook: Your AI is trapped 0:55 — The Problem: AI in a bubble 2:40 — What is MCP?
