MCP Security Basics Course

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is becoming a key bridge connecting AI agents with external tools and data, yet the protocol's own security boundaries, permission controls, and data exposure risks are often overlooked. This course offers a systematic walkthrough centered on this core pain point, helping developers understand foundational security practices for MCP—authentication, authorization, input validation, sensitive information protection, and more—so they can avoid planting vulnerabilities during rapid integration. The key highlight: this course doesn't just dwell on theory. Instead, it starts from MCP's actual communication model, breaks down common attack surfaces, and provides actionable hardening strategies. Whether you're a backend engineer building AI toolchains or a platform team connecting agents to internal systems, you'll come away with a clear defensive framework. For the best experience, we recommend familiarizing yourself with how MCP works at a basic level before watching, then cross-checking your own project scenarios, and jotting down key configuration items as you go.
