# microsoft/mcp-for-beginners

This open-source curriculum introduces the fundamentals of Model Context Protocol (MCP) through real-world, cross-language examples in .NET, Java, TypeScript, JavaScript, Rust and Python. Designed for developers, it focuses on practical techniques for building modular, scalable, and secure AI workflows from session setup to service orchestration.

## Trust

60/100 (B), scored on the content rubric
- Publisher verified: no
- Install scripts: nothing suspicious found
- Prompt-injection scan: clean
- Obfuscation scan: clean
- Evidence age: 111 days — stale; the grade is a claim about the present made from dated evidence

## Security scan

- **Status:** clean
- **Scanned:** 2026-06-14T11:07:48.267Z
- **Version scanned:** HEAD
- **CVEs:** no coverage — this entry has no package coordinates to query OSV against, so "no known CVEs" is NOT asserted for it.

## Tools

Tool surface: no readable artifact — tool surface unknown.

## Install

This entry has no npm package and no hosted endpoint, so there is nothing for an MCP client to launch or connect to. It is indexed as source only.

## Blast radius

Contained to critical — no readable artifact — tool surface unknown.
- Floor 0, ceiling 80 (tier: unknown)
- `unknown` means the floor and ceiling land in different bands — not measured enough to name one. It does not mean low.
- This is impact, not likelihood. A high radius is not a defect: a filesystem server is supposed to write files. It is never part of the trust score.
