Building My First MCP Server with Claude and Python
A few days ago, I started exploring MCP (Model Context Protocol) and wanted to understand how AI tools actually interact with external systems. Instead of just reading documentation, I decided to build a simple, real-world project:
A custom MCP server that allows Claude to publish blog posts directly to the Dev.to platform.
This project helped me understand MCP servers, AI tool calling, Claude integrations, agent workflows, and structured AI automation. In this post, I'll share what I built, how it works, and what I learned along the way.
What is MCP?
