AI learning answer
What is the best MCP course?

Short answer
DeepLearning.AI's MCP course is a strong short starting point, while Hugging Face's MCP Course is useful if you want a free structured route. Pair either with the official Anthropic, OpenAI, and MCP docs.
Context from the full guide
Use DeepLearning.AI's Anthropic MCP course for a short hands-on path, Hugging Face's MCP Course for a free structured course, and the official Anthropic/OpenAI docs when you need implementation details for production agent tools.
