Article Summary

GitHub has released a tutorial on building a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to extend AI tools with custom capabilities.

The guide details how MCP servers allow AI models, such as Anthropic's Claude, to securely access external tools, APIs, and real-time information.

It provides a step-by-step walkthrough for creating a basic MCP server using Python (Flask), demonstrating how to expose custom actions.

Examples include fetching the current time and calling an external joke API, showcasing practical integration possibilities.

The tutorial explains how to connect the custom MCP server to an MCP-enabled AI client, significantly enhancing AI assistant extensibility.
