MCP Servers Finally Make Sense (Build Your Own)
Secure your MCP server using Descope for free: https://www.descope.com/ MCP servers are quickly becoming one of the most important pieces of the AI ecosystem. But what actually happens behind the scenes? In this video, I break down MCP servers from the ground up and then build one from scratch. We’ll cover what MCP is, how local and remote servers differ, how access control works, and how the MCP protocol connects AI models to external tools and data. Then we’ll put it all together by building an MCP server and adding authentication so you can see how these systems work in practice. If you’re building AI agents or want to understand how AI connects to real-world tools, this is a great place to start. Want to LEARN how to build useful AI agents that actually get things done?
