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

  • 2 live sessions · 2 hours each · Oct 31 – Nov 1, 2026
  • For developers, technical builders, and connector enthusiasts
  • Configure MCP in Claude Code, Cursor, and Claude.ai
  • Wire up Claude.ai connectors (no CLI required)

Why take this workshop?

MCP is an unfair advantage right now

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.

Connect AI to real work

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

Understand what happens under the hood

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

Built, not watched

What you'll build

Every project becomes a working artifact you can keep, adapt, and show. You leave with more than notes.

Connect Jira, query project context, and create or update an issue through a live, permission-aware workflow.

Live curriculum

Two focused days

2 days · 2 hours each · All sessions recorded

2 live daysrecordings included
  1. Session 1

    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. Session 2

    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.

You will build

  • Connect Canva and create a design from a live brief
  • Connect Jira and run a real issue workflow through it

  1. Session 3

    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. Session 4

    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.

You will build

  • 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

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.”

Illustrated learner avatar

Priya Sharma

Developer Advocate, Bangalore

“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.”

Illustrated learner avatar

Lena Braun

Technical PM, Vienna

“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.”

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. For teams of 3 or more engineers, email support@explainx.ai for group pricing. Private corporate runs are also available.

Payments are non-refundable. If you can't attend live, recordings are available within 24 hours and accessible for 1 year. Email support@explainx.ai for any questions.
