In this exhilarating tutorial by Nicholas Renotte, he delves into the world of building an MCP server to connect your agent to Yahoo Finance, or virtually anything else for that matter. Picture this: MCP, or Model Context Protocol, bursts onto the scene like a raging bull, offering AI engineers a revolutionary way to define a tool once and use it across different platforms without the hassle of constant code tweaking. It's like having a trusty sidekick that never lets you down, no matter the challenge.
Renotte kicks things off by demonstrating how to fetch stock prices using Y Finance and the data.history function for a specific stock such as Apple. The process involves setting up the server, creating a function named stock price, and adding the essential MCP tool decorator. Testing the server's functionality is a breeze with the visual inspector from the MCP SDK, providing a sneak peek into the server's capabilities before going full throttle.
But wait, there's more! Renotte seamlessly guides viewers through connecting the server to an agent using the smaller agents library from HuggingFace. By setting up parameters, establishing a connection to the MCP server, and running prompts to the agent, fetching stock prices becomes a walk in the park. And for those seeking more detailed insights, querying about stock price movements adds an extra layer of sophistication to the agent's repertoire.
As the tutorial accelerates, Renotte showcases how to integrate the MCP server with other cutting-edge tools like Cursor and Langflow. By defining new tools such as stock info and income statement tools, users can expand the server's functionalities effortlessly. The process involves updating the MCP command, connecting tool sets, and unleashing the full potential of the server-agent duo. Additionally, Renotte explores other captivating capabilities of the MCP server, including prompts for storing messages and resources for providing a wide array of data types to clients. With Renotte's guidance, navigating the realm of MCP becomes a thrilling adventure filled with endless possibilities.
