MCP has been getting a ton of hype this year and for good reason. It’s very fun to equip AI agents with the tools to take real-world actions. But that use of MCP merely scratches the surface of what’s possible. MCP has the potential to change the nature of education itself.
Introducing Mastra 101: the very first course (as far as we can tell) led by MCP.
That’s right: instead of reading a book, tutorial, or watching a video, you can learn how to use Mastra right in your agentic code editor (whether that’s Cursor, Windsurf, or VSCode.)
Previously, we launched the Mastra MCP docs server, which allows you to ask your agent questions about Mastra and enables it to write syntactically-correct code.
Now the MCP docs server contains the information to walk you through a step-by-step course of using Mastra as well. It’s literally never been easier to remake yourself into an AI engineer.
Once you’ve added the Mastra MCP docs server to your agentic code editor, simply prompt it to Start Mastra course and begin.
While the course might be fun to speedrun, we know that many of you will want to break it into pieces and/or revisit parts later. That’s why you can start a new chat at any time, ask it where you are in the course, and pick up right where you left off.
The agent will also direct you to a customized course progress page. This is where you can track your progress and explore the syllabus.
Similarly, if you’d like to jump around parts or skip ahead, you can ask your agent to do so.
The course is currently “experimental.” As you probably know by now, we try to keep things at Mastra fast because the field of AI moves even faster. We hope to ship updates based off your feedback.
And if you really like videos, here's an introduction to Mastra 101:
But for now… happy learning-slash-building 🚀
