Claude Code – autonomous agent development & MCP integration (CLPRG1)

AI - Artificial Intelligence, AI for developers

This hands-on course helps experienced developers adopt Claude Code into real development workflows. You will operate controlled agents in both IDE and terminal, work with prepared code fragments and projects, and practice safe, repeatable AI-driven development.

Through practical exercises, code review and TDD you will build CLAUDE.md, manage memory, define guardrails and implement hooks, custom commands and skills. The course covers MCP integration and multi-agent pipelines for production use.

THIS TRAINING COURSE WILL HELP YOU:

  • Understand LLM principles and agent architecture
  • Set up and use Claude Code in IDE and terminal
  • Create CLAUDE.md and manage project/user memory
  • Design and enforce guardrails and security constraints
  • Develop and test code with agents in a TDD workflow

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

  • Developers integrating AI into development workflows
  • DevOps and platform engineers managing MCP servers
  • Tech leads and architects designing agent solutions
  • QA engineers and automation specialists
