Model Context Protocol

  1. Mastering the AI Coworker
    Mastering the AI Coworker
    Principles for running an AI coworker in a one-person studio
    Robert Nash

    The first thing many people hit with an AI coding assistant is a plateau. A correction made on Monday is gone by Thursday. This book is about the operating model above the prompt, where truth lives, how a correction becomes a standing rule that holds, and which judgments stay in human hands.

  2. Building Autonomous IT Operations Agents with MCP
    Building Autonomous IT Operations Agents with MCP
    A Practical Guide to Designing, Deploying, and Operating Production-Grade Agentic AI for IT Infrastructure
    Steve Publications

    Move beyond AI demos and build agents that can actually run IT operations. This practical guide takes you from MCP fundamentals to production-ready monitoring, incident response, remediation, Kubernetes operations, security and multi-agent systems, with complete runnable code and a strong focus on safe autonomy.

  3. Multi-Agent AI Systems The Complete Handbook for Building Intelligent  Scalable, and Autonomous Agent Teams

    What happens when AI agents stop working alone and start working as a team?Artificial Intelligence is entering a new phase in which intelligent systems can do more than respond to individual instructions. Multiple specialized agents can collaborate, divide complex tasks, communicate with one another, use tools, evaluate results, and coordinate their actions toward a shared objective.Multi-Agent AI Systems: The Complete Handbook for Building Intelligent, Scalable, and Autonomous Agent Teams provides a practical roadmap for understanding this emerging paradigm.The book begins with the fundamentals of multi-agent systems and explains why collaboration between specialized agents can be valuable for complex workflows. Readers will learn about hierarchical, peer-to-peer, and hybrid architectures, along with roles such as manager, planner, worker, critic, and supervisor agents.It then moves into modern frameworks and technologies, including CrewAI, AutoGen, LangGraph, MetaGPT, LLMs, vector databases, and agent memory systems. Practical chapters explain how to design agent teams, decompose tasks, establish communication protocols, manage shared memory, coordinate workflows, integrate tools and APIs, and recover from failures.Readers will also explore advanced concepts such as dynamic replanning, parallel execution, swarm intelligence, agent debates, self-organizing systems, human-in-the-loop workflows, and multimodal agents.The book goes beyond experimentation and addresses the challenges of deploying multi-agent systems in real environments. Cloud deployment, Docker, Kubernetes, monitoring, logging, scaling, evaluation, benchmarking, testing, and cost optimization are included.Real-world applications demonstrate how agent teams can support software development, research, customer service, content creation, and business operations.Equally important, the book examines AI safety, privacy, security, transparency, governance, alignment, and responsible AI development.Whether you are a student discovering agentic AI, a developer building your first agent team, a researcher exploring collaborative intelligence, or a professional preparing for the next generation of AI applications, this book provides a foundation for moving from individual AI agents toward coordinated intelligent systems.Understand the architecture. Design the team. Build the agents. Coordinate the intelligence.

  4. Python AI Programming, Second Edition
    Python AI Programming, Second Edition
    Kickstart developing AI-ready apps with RAG, DSPy, MCP, agents, evals, observability and open-source models
    GitforGits | Asian Publishing House

    Vectors, embeddings, retrieval, agents, and evaluation are all built from first principles inside the chapter that needs them. No mathematics. No machine learning background. No prior AI experience and no framework knowledge is required. We build with plain Python and small, single-purpose libraries.
