Kickstart-mcp is tutorial for using mcp, making your own mcp server/client. We'll guide you through every step of your MCP journey
Most developer tooling work still happens through a UI a human drives. Kickstart MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. Kickstart-mcp is tutorial for using mcp, making your own mcp server/client. We'll guide you through every step of your MCP journey.
An interactive tutorial for learning Model Context Protocol (MCP). From setting up MCP hosts to building your own servers and clients, we'll guide you through every step of your MCP journey.
