<strong>
Meet users in the AI apps they already use
</strong>
<p>
Your users are increasingly getting accustomed to using natural language to communicate with AI apps like ChatGPT, Claude Desktop, and Cursor. With MCP,
you can build AI-powered apps that integrate with these apps, allowing you
to meet users where they are.

## Prerequisites
- JavaScript experience
- Node.js experience
## Pre-workshop Resources
Here are some resources you can read before taking the workshop to get you up to
speed on some of the tools and concepts we'll be covering:
- TODO: add resources
## System Requirements
- [git][git] v2.18 or greater
- [NodeJS][node] v18 or greater
- [npm][npm] v8 or greater
All of these must be available in your `PATH`. To verify things are set up
properly, you can run this:
```shell
git --version
node --version
npm --version
```
If you have trouble with any of these, learn more about the PATH environment
variable and how to fix it here for [windows][win-path] or
[mac/linux][mac-path].
## Setup
This is a pretty large project (it's actually many apps in one) so it can take
several minutes to get everything set up the first time. Please have a strong
network connection before running the setup and grab a snack.
> **Warning**: This repo is _very_ large. Make sure you have a good internet
> connection before you start the setup process. The instructions below use
> `--depth` to limit the amount you download, but if you have a slow connection,
> or you pay for bandwidth, you may want to find a place with a better
> connection.
Follow these steps to get this set up:
```sh nonumber
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/epicweb-dev/mcp-fundamentals.git
cd mcp-fundamentals
npm run setup
```
If you experience errors here, please open [an issue][issue] with as many
details as you can offer.
