MCP AI Agents: A Practical Guide to Building Context-Aware Agents with Claude, OpenAI, and Beyond

By Dr. Maxwell Brooks

Elevate your AI applications from simple chatbots to fully programmable agents with MCP AI Agents, Revised Edition. This hands-on, code-first guide walks AI developers through every step of building context-aware agents using the open Model Context Protocol (MCP), Anthropic's Claude API, OpenAI's function-calling, and leading orchestration frameworks like LangGraph and CrewAI.

Inside, you'll discover how to:
- Master MCP & JSON-RPC to expose your services-file readers, web scrapers, SQL queryors-as self-describing tools that any LLM can invoke.
- Integrate Claude & GPT-4 seamlessly, combining Claude's deterministic tool routing with GPT-4's creative reasoning for best-of-both-worlds agents.
- Build RAG pipelines with vector search (FAISS, Chroma, Weaviate) and dynamic prompt chaining to deliver up-to-date, citation-backed knowledge.
- Orchestrate multi-agent workflows using LangGraph state machines and CrewAI role-based teams, ensuring resilience, retries, and resumable sessions.
- Deploy production-ready infrastructure-containerize with Docker, automate CI/CD with GitHub Actions, and host on Fly.io, Railway, or Render with secure API keys, audit logs, and GDPR-compliant data flows.

Featuring real-world projects-from a Claude-powered research assistant to a GPT-driven business report generator-this revised edition adds n8n no-code integration, expanded multi-model orchestration patterns, and advanced evaluation metrics for accuracy, validity, and user satisfaction. Every chapter includes complete manifests, FastAPI handlers, and command-line examples, all available in the companion GitHub repo for immediate cloning and experimentation.

If you're an AI engineer, ML architect, or developer ready to ship tool-enhanced, context-aware agents that act on real data-and not just talk-MCP AI Agents, Revised Edition is your definitive, bestselling blueprint. Take your agentic systems beyond chat into real-world automation today.
