There's one month left in 2025- still time to learn MCP with our 3-part free livestream series! Topics: 🛠️ Building MCP servers with @FastMCP 🤖 Connecting agents to servers ☁️ Deploying to the @Azure cloud 🔐Adding auth (API keys, OAuth2) Register: 🔗 https://t.co/pylZy5dFJR

Where are folks donating this year? I'm interested in LGBTQ rights, children's health, female reproductive freedom, world peace, local bay area initiatives, etc.

Missed my Python + MCP livestream series this week? You can still watch the recordings, download the slides, and fork the code: https://t.co/j8m5Dtlql9

Today's Python + MCP live stream was all about auth! Covered: * API key access * MCP Auth: OAuth 2.1 + PRM + ASMD + CIMD/DCR * OAuth full flow with Keycloak + FastMCP * OAuth proxy flow with Entra ID + FastMCP Vid: https://t.co/rN8pJ9v19I Slides: https://t.co/oOUrwbmQE9

Got a ton of questions in OH about restricting tool access based off user roles, so my homework is to make an MCP server that uses Entra + groups lookup + OBO flow.

We surveyed devs watching our "Building Python MCP servers" stream. A surprising number said they'd "never built *or* used MCP servers" - 48% of en audience, 74% of es audience. Looks like we need to spend more time just showing how to use MCP servers (like in GitHub Copilot).

My stream today was all about deploying FastMCP servers! We discussed: * Starlette → uvicorn → Dockerfile * IaC → Azure Container Apps * Observability with OpenTelemetry, App Insights, Logfire * Private networking Vid: https://t.co/e0yROR8cR3 Slides:

Another Q in OH today, one I get a lot: What's the diff between MCP and A2A? Why would you use A2A? I pointed them to https://t.co/OKpk943D1T but tbh, I don't know of anyone using A2A in prod scenarios. Are any of you?

A good q from MCP office hours today: If you've written an MCP server yourself (without an SDK), how do you ensure it's compliant with the MCP spec?

Authorization server metadata discovery diagram/slide (didn't seem worth it to show all the URLs in the diagram)

PRM flow diagrams:

Already found one issue with the arrows, fixed...

For me, the best way to make sure I understand an OAuth flow is to draw a flow diagram. Here's an oversimplified version of the MCP auth flow, which is missing details for Authorization Server discovery, DCR, CIMD. Next I'll draw those diagrams to make sure I understand those!

The modelcontextprotocol repo has an https://t.co/BQvh98Wuct - first time I've seen that in a repo. https://t.co/GzSpRHAa01 Oo, and a https://t.co/9SSzjr7N0P - looks like that was added just after the foundation announcement.
