The model context protocol, released by Anthropic, is exploding across the world of AI.
It's the USB-C of AI. It helps link user-facing applications to powerful API's.
Link Cursor to your GitHub account. Link Claude Desktop to your email. The possibilities are endless.
In this tutorial, we'll cover everything you need to know to start shipping MCP servers.
We'll be working in TypeScript, my favourite language. We'll look at:
- Why the Model Context Protocol exists
- Choosing an MCP Client
- Building MCP Servers in TypeScript
- Distributing MCP Servers on NPM
- Hosting MCP Servers on serverless platforms
By the end, you will be able to ship your MCP idea so that anyone around the world will be able to use it.
Head to AI Hero's GitHub repo for all the code, and to run the examples.
