Introduction to Model Context Protocol
Introduction to Model Context Protocol is a free course from Anthropic, online. It takes about 1 hour and ends with a free badge. We rate it intermediate level; the provider doesn't say.
Before you sign up
Suits Python developers who want to connect Claude to outside tools and data without writing tool schemas by hand. It is free, Anthropic lists it at 1 hour, and passing the quiz earns a completion badge. The main caveat is the starting point: it expects basic Python, async/await and API concepts, so it is not a first coding course. For the next step, Model Context Protocol: Advanced topics covers sampling, notifications, roots and transports, also free.
What you'll learn
Free Claude Academy course from Anthropic on building Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and clients with the Python SDK. Covers MCP architecture, tools, resources and prompts, testing with the MCP Server Inspector, and a hands-on document management project. Ends with a quiz and a completion badge.
