Model Context Protocol: Advanced AI Agents for Beginners
A beginner-friendly guide to one of the most important shifts happening in AI right now.
Note: The book is re-published by Packt Publishing and is available on all major platforms like O'Reilly, Packt and other places
This book is for anyone who's ever looked at ChatGPT and thought, “Cool, but can it actually do stuff for me?” Like not just chat. Actually take over tasks, run your software, automate your day.
That’s where something called the Model Context Protocol (MCP) comes in. It’s a lightweight system that lets AI take control of tools you already use think Figma, Excel, WhatsApp, even Blender without needing to write a single line of code.
Yep. No Python. No APIs. Just set it up and let the AI get to work.
Inside, you’ll get a hands-on intro to how MCP works, why people are calling it the engine of “AI Agents 2.0”, and how to start using it right now. You’ll learn how to set up over 20 different MCP servers step by step even if you’ve never touched code in your life.
The idea is simple: help you automate the boring stuff and get ready for how AI is going to reshape everything—from workflows and software to the way we think about “work” itself.
Want AI to build a PowerPoint for you? Sort through Excel sheets? Post on LinkedIn? Design in Figma? This book shows you how to do all that.

What’s inside:We’ll start from the ground up. What exactly is generative AI? Where do LLMs fit in? And what’s so different about “AI agents” compared to regular chatbots?
From there, we’ll dive into MCP, how it works, why it matters, and how it connects to tools you already use. You’ll also learn how to wire it up with services like LangChain, Zapier, or even run it locally with Ollama and other open-source LLMs.
And yep we’ll talk about the risks too. This isn’t some hyped-up fantasy. If you’re going to work with autonomous AI, it’s worth understanding what could go wrong and how to stay in control.
Who’s this for?Honestly? Anyone even a little bit curious about AI. Developers, designers, analysts, students, marketers, researchers it doesn’t matter. If you’ve ever said, “Ugh, I wish AI could just do this for me,” this book is a great starting point.
And since it’s all no-code, you don’t need to be technical. If you can follow instructions, you’re good.
A few things you’ll learn:What AI agents actually are (and why they’re more than just smarter chatbots)
How the Model Context Protocol works under the hood
Step-by-step walkthroughs for setting up AI control over Excel, WhatsApp, Notion, GitHub, SQL, Google Docs, Docker, Figma, PowerPoint, and more
Creating your own MCP Server, using it with LangChain and Ollama and other customizations
What to watch out for (yes, the risks are real)
And where all this is probably headed over the next few years
Bonus:
