Let's Learn MCP (Model Context Protocol) | Sue Bayes

Join me and the amazing Kevin Arnold from SML Crew (Blog – SML Crew) and Fabric Friday (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXtYSI8-GLdscOl4l1K-wZOC4OxpBykPj) as we take you through how to get started with MCP servers. Kevin will share his knowledge and experience with us and I can't think of a better person to take us through how to get started.

MCP servers provide a standard way, or protocol, to connect LLMs with data, tools, and resources. The MCP website describes MCP as a universal adaptor for AI applications. In the same way that a universal adaptor lets you connect your physical devices to accessories, MCP lets you connect AI applications to other data and tools without needing to build a custom connection to each data source.
