MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an up-and-coming open-source standard that is changing how AI models interact with tools, data, and services. AI is not just an afterthought addition to modern applications anymore; it is a central piece to their functionality. Whether you are building AI-powered applications or just want to know how modern AI systems talk to the outside world, you’ll leave with the knowledge to design your own MCP integrations.

Our policy is that we do not record live workshops in order to encourage robust Q&A. However, you can always find the full workshop materials for all of our workshops at: https://library.virginia.edu/data/training/past-workshops which allows you to work through the material at your own pace. We also encourage you to reach out to the instructor at any time for a one-on-one consult, and for specific or general questions about any of the topics we cover.
