Overview
This 3-day program provides a structured introduction to Multi-Agent Orchestration using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Participants will learn how MCP enables standardized communication between LLMs, tools, and external systems, allowing agents to dynamically discover capabilities, access contextual data, and execute tasks in interoperable environments.
The course progresses from foundational agentic AI concepts to designing and implementing multi-agent orchestration using MCP-compliant tools and services. Emphasis is placed on architecture design, protocol understanding, secure context sharing, scalability, and enterprise deployment patterns.
Hands-on labs guide participants through building MCP-connected agents, tool servers, and orchestrated multi-agent workflows.
