Claude MCP has Changed AI Forever - Here's What You NEED to Know

Everyone is starting to realize how big of a deal Claude’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) is - it’s the first ever “standard” for connecting LLMs with services like your database, Slack, GitHub, web search, etc. It’s VERY powerful and not well understood by many, so in this video I break down everything you need to know about MCP at a high level. I go quick here unlike my usual videos, but I call out a bunch of different resources you can use to dive into anything deeper that you’re curious about - MCP architecture, building your own MCP server, integrating your custom AI agent with MCP, etc. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Check out Stagehand, an incredible tool to crawl and scrape websites with natural language which I used in this video: https://github.com/browserbase/stagehand And here is the Stagehand MCP server that I showcased (you will need a Browserbase API key which is free to start!): https://github.com/browserbase/mcp-server-browserbase/blob/main/stagehand/README.md ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Documentation for Claude’s MCP: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction List of MCP Servers on GitHub: https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers Example n8n MCP Agent: https://github.com/coleam00/ottomator-agents/tree/main/n8n-mcp-agent n8n Community Node for MCP: https://github.com/nerding-io/n8n-nodes-mcp Example Pydantic AI MCP Agent: https://github.com/coleam00/ottomator-agents/tree/main/pydantic-ai-mcp-agent Dive deep into the architecture of MCP: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/concepts/architecture ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 00:00 - MCP is Blowing Up 01:55 - What is MCP? 03:12 - Making MCP "Click" (Deep Dive with Diagrams) 05:33 - How Agents Work with MCP 07:16 - Word of Caution - What MCP Isn't 08:17 - Where You Can Use MCP 09:47 - MCP Servers You Can Use NOW 11:18 - How to Set Up MCP Servers 12:08 - Using MCP Servers in Claude Desktop 13:11 - MCP Demo in Claude Desktop (Brave + Stagehand) 14:09 - Building with MCP (Servers and Clients) 15:22 - Building Your Own MCP Server 18:09 - MCP with n8n AI Agents 20:10 - MCP with Python AI Agents 21:56 - The Future of MCP 23:51 - Outro ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Join me as I push the limits of what is possible with AI. I'll be uploading videos at least two times a week - Sundays and Wednesdays at 7:00 PM CDT!
