​Hands-On Lab: Building AI-Powered Agents for Your SDLC

​Building AI-Powered Agents for Your SDLC with Qodo

​The Agent MCP Workshop is a hands-on, instructor-led experience that takes developers from zero to building Python-based AI agents that integrate seamlessly into their software development lifecycle (SDLC). At the core is the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — the emerging standard for how agents communicate with tools and with each other.

​We’ll start by preparing your Python environment, then progressively build an MCP server that powers real agent behaviors. Each branch of the repo corresponds to a new milestone: from handling simple requests, to registering tools, to enabling full agent workflows. Along the way, you’ll learn how AI agents exchange context, trigger actions, and debug interactions at the protocol level.

​This isn’t just theory. It’s a guided build-along, where your code evolves into a fully functioning, testable MCP-compatible agent system.

​What You’ll Learn

• ​AI Agent Fundamentals: What makes an AI agent different from traditional automation, and why MCP matters for interoperability.

• ​Python in Practice: Implementing JSON-RPC messaging and process communication to give your agent real-world capabilities.

• ​Tool & Workflow Integration: How agents register, expose, and orchestrate tools across the SDLC (testing, CI/CD, code review, and beyond).

• ​Debugging Agent Behavior: Techniques for tracing communication, routing requests, and fixing broken interactions.

• ​End-to-End Build: By the end, you’ll have a working Python MCP agent server you can extend and integrate into your own developer workflows.

​Key Takeaways

• ​A clear mental model of how AI agents work and why MCP is the standard powering the ecosystem.

• ​A fully functional Python MCP agent server, built step-by-step during the workshop.

• ​Reusable debugging patterns to accelerate future AI agent projects.

• ​The confidence to extend, integrate, and contribute to real-world agentic systems for the SDLC.
