MCP is an open-source standard designed to standardize how LLM applications connect to and work with external tools and data sources.

This hands-on lab for LangChain 1.0 progresses from basic LLM calls and prompt templates through conversation memory, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and autonomous agents with tools. By the end, you'll have the foundational patterns to build chatbots, document Q&A systems, and intelligent assistants that can reason over your own data.
