In the intro session of our **Python + MCP series**, we dive into the hottest technology of 2025: MCP (Model Context Protocol). This open protocol makes it easy to extend AI agents and chatbots with custom functionality, making them more powerful and flexible. We demonstrate how to use the Python FastMCP SDK to build an MCP server running locally and consume that server from chatbots like GitHub Copilot. Then we build our own MCP client to consume the server. Finally, we discover how easy it is to connect AI agent frameworks like **Langchain** and **Microsoft agent-framework** to MCP servers.
