Hello everyone and welcome.

00:03.480 --> 00:08.080
In this video we will learn about server components within MCP server.

00:08.280 --> 00:12.400
So here are the three key components that MCP server provides.

00:12.760 --> 00:14.000
One is the tools.

00:14.240 --> 00:17.880
Second one is resources and the third is prompts.

00:18.240 --> 00:22.440
Let's understand each one of them in detail.

00:23.160 --> 00:25.560
So the very first one is tools.

00:26.080 --> 00:32.680
You can think of tools as an actions that AI knows to perform on its own, when it needs to do something.

00:33.120 --> 00:40.240
This is a model controlled which can perform actions like retrieve search where AI can look up relevant

00:40.240 --> 00:46.880
data, can Dos send receive messages to communicate with other system or user.

00:47.280 --> 00:53.920
It can also update database records where it can modify and write to different databases.

00:54.400 --> 00:57.760
The next server component is resources.

00:58.120 --> 01:03.440
The resources are like books and documents that AI is allowed to read.

01:03.880 --> 01:12.080
It is application controlled and these data sources are made available to the AI by application or developer.

01:12.640 --> 01:20.720
It can perform tasks like files for uploads, for database records, rows from database that AI can

01:20.720 --> 01:27.080
read, and API responses, that is, information from external systems via API calls.

01:27.640 --> 01:29.840
The third server component is prompts.

01:30.040 --> 01:32.240
It is completely user controlled.

01:32.520 --> 01:39.240
You can think of prompts like giving AI a form to fill, or a script to follow, a task that you can

01:39.240 --> 01:42.680
perform prompts and document Q and A.

01:43.280 --> 01:47.360
You can also do transcript, summary, and workflow automation.

01:47.600 --> 01:51.640
So here we took a deep dive into each server components.

01:51.840 --> 01:53.240
Thank you so much.

01:53.400 --> 01:55.640
And I'll see you in the next video.
