Meeting Overview:

"The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standardized framework for interactions between AI models and client applications. Initially created by Anthropic, MCP is now maintained by the broader MCP community through the official GitHub organization." Microsoft has created a free overview of MCP on their GitHub page and I'm working through it. Tonight, I'll give an overview of the program and what I've learned.

You can find the course here: https://github.com/microsoft/mcp-for-beginners
