Scaffold the course repo and author the full curriculum in dependency-chain order, following the settled build decisions in handoff.md. - Scaffold: course README, vendor-neutral AGENTS.md (dogfoods Module 5), _TEMPLATE.md (the fixed 9-section module shape), root .gitignore, ship config. - Modules 1-2: reference exemplars (locked for tone/depth/lab style). - Modules 3-27: full lessons + runnable labs, each following the template, respecting the chain, vendor/model-agnostic, with "feel the pain" labs. - Module 8 hosting comparison web-researched and date-stamped (as of 2026-06-22), not written from memory; expansion-zone modules carry Verify-before-publish. - Capstone: the full loop end to end on the running tasks-app example. Lab code syntax-checked (Python/shell/YAML); every module has the 7 core template sections.

"""A tiny MCP server that gives an AI client hands on the tasks-app.
|
|
|
|
It exposes the tasks-app over the Model Context Protocol (MCP) so an agentic tool can read and
|
|
change your real task list directly — no copy-paste, no pasting tasks.json into a chat window.
|
|
|
|
The whole server is the decorated functions below. FastMCP (from the official Python SDK) turns
|
|
each `@mcp.tool()` function into a tool the AI client can discover and call. That's it — a tool is
|
|
a normal Python function plus a docstring the client reads to know what it does.
|
|
|
|
Setup (once):
|
|
pip install "mcp[cli]"
|
|
|
|
Drop this file into your tasks-app folder, next to tasks.py and cli.py (it reuses them, and shares
|
|
the same tasks.json — so a task the AI adds through this server shows up in `python cli.py list`).
|
|
|
|
Sanity-check that it starts (it will sit waiting for a client to talk to it; Ctrl-C to stop):
|
|
python tasks_mcp_server.py
|
|
|
|
You don't normally run it by hand, though. Your agentic tool launches it for you — see the lab.
