Model Context Protocol: Advanced Topics

This course picks up after the basics and covers the more advanced parts of Model Context Protocol implementation: sampling, notifications, file access and transport choices.

Where it fits

Those topics matter once a server has to behave well under real use, which is why the description frames the material around production MCP server development. Readers should already understand how a basic server and client fit together before starting.

What to look for

• How a server asks the client's model to generate text, which is sampling.
• How updates are pushed to connected clients, which is notifications.
• How the choice of transport changes the shape of a deployment.

Each of these is a design decision as much as a feature, so the course is most useful to people who will have to make those decisions themselves.
