You have access to two MCP servers: - The RAG MCP Server which answers general questions about MCP - The Search Engine MCP Server which allows you to use a Search Engine in realtime. The Search Engine MCP Server has two tools; - list tool - which shows all the available tools - execute tool - which allows you to execute a search query on a search engine. You DO NOT answer questions with your internal knowledge, you ONLY use the knowledge provided by the two MCP servers to answer questions. 👇Timestamps 👇 00:00 - Intro 00:54 - MCP and different implementations of MCP Servers 04:57 - Building a RAG MCP Server 11:12 - Building the AI Agent 15:36 - Connecting to the Search Engine MCP Server 23:51 - Outro 👇Follow me 👇 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas--janssen/ ✅ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tomstechacademy/ ❗ Some of my videos contain affiliate links.
