    Yash Thakker is the founder of AISOLO Technologies and one of the most sought-after AI educators in the country. He's known for one thing above all: by the end of any session, students have already built something — no saving it for 'later.' His classes are built around real-life, happening-right-now examples, zero dry theory, and a teaching energy that makes complex things feel obvious. With over a decade shipping AI products across media, fintech, and edtech, Yash has delivered every learning format imaginable — in-person workshops, live bootcamps, online courses, and hybrid sessions — always exploring new ways to make learning land faster. He's obsessed with what learning looks like for this generation, now that AI changes what's even worth teaching. He has reached 350,000+ learners and is the creator behind BGBlur.com and explainx.ai.

    What you’ll take away

    A production MCP setup wired to your real tools — running before the bootcamp ends

    Intermediate-level workshop

    Most people still use AI in a chat box. MCP lets you connect it to the tools and data where work actually happens. Learn the connection layer now, before dependable tool use becomes a baseline expectation for technical teams.

    01

    Connect AI to real work

    Move from copy and paste to useful actions across Jira, Canva, internal APIs, and your own data.

    02

    Understand what happens under the hood

    Learn hosts, servers, tools, resources, authentication, and the decisions that make a connector dependable.

    03

    Ship with safer defaults

    Practice verification and permissions so your team can adopt connectors without treating every server as trusted.

    What you’ll do each day

    2 days · 2 hours per day · Recordings included · 7–8:30 PM GMT+5:30

    Day 01Sat, Oct 31, 2026 · 7–8:30 PM GMT+5:30MCP Architecture & Your First Live Connections
    1. 01 MCP Architecture — Hosts, Clients, Servers & Transports

      Learn what MCP actually is: a standard protocol that lets AI hosts (Claude Code, Cursor, Claude.ai) talk to MCP servers that expose tools, resources, and prompts. Understand the difference between stdio (local process) and SSE/HTTP (remote) transports. Browse the MCP server ecosystem — Anthropic's official servers, community servers, and the explainx.ai MCP directory.

    2. 02 Configure MCP in Claude Code, Cursor & Claude.ai Connectors

      Configure MCP servers in Claude Code (.claude/settings.json) and Cursor (mcp_servers config). Connect to GitHub, Postgres, or a browser automation server and make your first live tool call. Then switch to Claude.ai — set up built-in connectors (Google Drive, GitHub, Jira, etc.) for users who don't run a local CLI. Understand when to use each approach.

    What you’ll leave with
    • ✓Connect Canva and create a design from a live brief
    • ✓Connect Jira and run a real issue workflow through it

    Skills you’ll practice: MCP host/client/server model · Stdio vs SSE transports · Claude Code MCP config · Cursor MCP integration · Claude.ai connectors · MCP server ecosystem

    Day 02Sun, Nov 1, 2026 · 7–8:30 PM GMT+5:30Building Custom Integrations, Security & Team Governance
    1. 03 Build a Custom MCP Server

      Use the MCP TypeScript or Python SDK to build a simple MCP server that exposes a tool, a resource, or a prompt. This could wrap an internal API, a CSV, a database query, or a custom automation. Test it locally with Claude Code. No prior MCP experience required — we start from the official SDK quickstart and extend it live.

    2. 04 MCP Security, Verification & Team Setup

      Cover supply-chain risks for MCP servers — typosquatting, prompt injection via tool results, and unverified servers. Learn SkillSpector-style verification patterns and how to review a server's code before running it. Set up a team MCP config with a curated server list, version pinning, and an onboarding doc so every developer on your team starts with the same approved integrations.

    Frequently asked questions

    Everything you need to know before enrolling.

    Comfort with a terminal and basic JSON config files is enough for Sessions 1–2. Sessions 3–4 (building a custom server) work best if you know some TypeScript or Python. The Claude.ai connectors section requires no code at all.

    Claude Code (Anthropic CLI) or Cursor IDE for local MCP. A Claude account for Claude.ai connectors. Node.js 18+ or Python 3.10+ for the custom server session. We walk through setup at the start.

    Yes. The AI Skills workshop covers agent skills (SKILL.md) and is aimed at non-technical roles — founders, marketers, PMs. This bootcamp is the technical companion: MCP architecture, configuration, and custom server development.

    No. Sessions 1–2 are entirely about configuring existing servers and Claude.ai connectors. Session 3 introduces custom server building, but you can follow along even if you just want to understand the concepts.

    All sessions are recorded and available within 24 hours, accessible for 1 year. You'll also receive all config templates and example MCP servers from the session.

    The instructor, Mr. Yash Thakker, kept things as simple as feasible and demonstrated easy to understand examples. The diction, clarity of speech, pace etc. was just fine, and he paused for us to try something and patiently answered our doubts.
