Week 14: The Model Context Protocol (MCP) — JSON-RPC 2.0 Servers, Resources, Tools, Transports & Security

Month 4 — Autonomous Agents, Model Context Protocol (MCP) & Multi-Agent Systems Goal: Master the industry-standard Model Context Protocol (MCP) from the wire-level JSON-RPC 2.0 specification up to multi-server MCP Host orchestration, Semantic Tool Routing (200 -> 5 tools), and Path-Traversal / SSRF sandboxing.
