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 · 2:30 PM – 4:30 PM GMT+5:30 · 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM UTC

Day 01Sat, Oct 31MCP 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 1Building 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.

Yes. Add up to 20 seats at checkout. Save 10% with 2 or more seats, 20% with 5 or more, or 30% with 10 or more. After payment, claim and assign seats by email in your dashboard. For larger groups or private sessions, email support@explainx.ai.

What students say

Real messages from students who trained with Yash across his live AI workshops and bootcamps.

“I'd read every MCP guide but couldn't get it to click until I configured it live with Yash. We connected Postgres and a custom internal API in under 90 minutes. Now I query our production DB directly from Cursor — game changer.”

Marcus Weber

Full-Stack Developer, Berlin

“Day 2 — building the custom MCP server — was worth the entire bootcamp price. I wrapped our internal events API in 45 minutes. Claude Code can now pull live campaign data without me copy-pasting anything.”

“I'm not a developer but the Claude.ai connectors session (Session 2) was exactly what I needed. I had GitHub and Google Drive connected to Claude.ai by the end of the hour. No CLI, no config files — just works.”

“The security session changed how I think about MCP. We had 5 unverified servers running in our dev environment. After this bootcamp I audited and locked down our team config. The governance doc template alone saved us days of work.”

What you’ll leave with
  • ✓Build a custom MCP connector that exposes one real tool from your stack
  • ✓Review its permissions and create a safe setup guide for your team

Skills you’ll practice: MCP TypeScript / Python SDK · Custom MCP server authoring · Tool, resource & prompt primitives · MCP security & verification · Supply-chain risk management · Team MCP configuration · Version pinning & governance
