Trying out MCP for the first time
I just recently graduated with a Computer Science degree and I'm looking to further expand my knowledge and build up a portfolio. I'm trying to learn more about AI since it's being used now a lot. And then I came a cross MCP.
It sparked my interest and from what I have learned MCP is a way for an AI Assistants to connect to with tools like local files GitHub, databases, and APIs through a common standard. It made me realize AI can do much more than just answer questions.
So to better understand it, I've been experimenting with a small project where an AI can read a folder of project notes and documentation through an MCP server, then answer questions or summarize the contents. It's nothing big yet, but it's been a fun way to learn how AI can work with real data instead of just prompts.
I'm still figuring things out, but every new concept like this makes me even more excited to keep building and learning. I'd also love to hear suggestions on what else I should try experimenting with MCP.
If you've played around with MCP, I'd love to know what projects you've built or what I should try next!
