MCP Course (Hugging Face)
Hugging Face's free, open course on building MCP servers, clients, and agents.
Hugging Face's official MCP course: a free, open curriculum that walks from protocol fundamentals through building your own MCP servers and clients, with quizzes and a certification path. The best structured learning resource for developers who prefer following a course over reading the raw spec. Complements Anthropic's own courses with an ecosystem-neutral, hands-on approach.
What it does
- Free course built in partnership with Anthropic: from protocol fundamentals to building your own MCP servers and clients
- Four units: Welcome, Introduction to MCP, an end-to-end MCP application use case, and advanced custom workflow servers with a Pull Request Agent built on the Hub
- Foundational units for theory plus hands-on work with established MCP SDKs and frameworks
- Certificate of completion via assignments, community challenges that evaluate implementations against other students', and a course Discord
When to use it
Developers who want a structured, graded path into MCP instead of reading the spec — especially those who learn by building: the end-to-end application unit doubles as a reference project layout.
Getting started
No install — it is a browser course. Start at Unit 0 to read the syllabus and the certification schedule, create a Hugging Face account and join the course Discord; the hands-on units then run against real MCP SDKs on your machine.
Things to know
The certificate requires completing assignments, not just reading; the challenges evaluate your MCP implementation against other students'. The curriculum is unit-based (four units listed at this review), so single-topic readers may want to jump straight to the advanced workflow-server unit.
