Everyone is starting to realize how big of a deal Claude’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) is – it’s the first ever “standard” for connecting LLMs with services like your database, Slack, GitHub, web search, etc. It’s VERY powerful and not well understood by many, so in this video I break down everything you need to know about MCP at a high level.
I go quick here unlike my usual videos, but I call out a bunch of different resources you can use to dive into anything deeper that you’re curious about – MCP architecture, building your own MCP server, integrating your custom AI agent with MCP, etc.

Check out Stagehand, an incredible tool to crawl and scrape websites with natural language which I used in this video:
https://github.com/browserbase/stagehand
And here is the Stagehand MCP server that I showcased (you will need a Browserbase API key which is free to start!):
