Completed Unit 1 of the MCP course, here's my take

The course was alright and I feel a lot of content on Youtube and everywhere else takes a lot of examples from the contents of this course itself (I am actually exhausted at how ubiquitous that USB-C analogy is on every MCP video on Youtube)

Here's one video which I feel offers more than what's already covered in the contents of this course - https://youtu.be/FLpS7OfD5-s?si=GqiSTp5H6OkhV1Jz
Tim Berglund also gives a bit of insights into WHY MCP is catching up everywhere.

I do have a few complaints:

  1. There were quite a few places where more setup was required than what was mentioned on there. It very well might be unique to me since I'm a swift dev and I only had an MSYS2 Python setup along with pip installed. Maybe the rest of you might have worked before with Python on AI stuff and didn't run into any problems as such.
    And that said, I don't mind being thrown a lil setup curveball every now and then (cursor always got my back) but it would have been nicer if set up instructions were more explicit along the course

  2. The model config given in the tiny agents section did not work for me. I tried to find other configs that would work for me but they were either down or I could not get the right config for it. I would appreciate if someone could point me towards models on this site on which I can configure my agent.json file and actually see tiny agents work.

Looking forward to learning more and more here. I'm new to AI and would absolutely love to join any communities that help app devs like me to transition into AI and teach me more about MCP.

How do I get this man?

Just follow the Hugging face MCP course organization on here : https://huggingface.co/mcp-course

Then read through the course - Starting Point - https://huggingface.co/learn/mcp-course/unit0/introduction

Then there's a small quiz for certification here : https://huggingface.co/learn/mcp-course/unit1/certificate

It's a fairly simple setup and the certificate is a png file(not sent to your mail) so I don't know if it's a valid proof of your proficiency for your resume. But I told you what I know.
