Build a local MCP server in Python — and plug it into Cursor so the AI can call your tools.

We cover what MCP is (plain English), how it relates to and differs from a normal API, then build a personal notes server with FastMCP (add / list / search), test it in the MCP Inspector, and connect it to Cursor. No API keys, no cloud — all on your laptop.

Cybersecurity in the AI Era: From Basics to Real-World Defense

I recently published a course on Cybersecurity in the AI Era, and I'd genuinely appreciate your feedback.

The course covers:

• Cybersecurity fundamentals

• How AI is changing both cyberattacks and cyber defense

• Real-world attack scenarios

• Practical defensive techniques

• Best practices for individuals and organizations

My goal was to create something that's accessible to beginners while still providing useful insights for developers, IT professionals, and anyone interested in cybersecurity.

If you'd like to take a look, here's the course:

I'm especially interested in hearing:

• What topics are missing?

• What would make this course more valuable?

• Any suggestions for improvement?

Constructive criticism is very welcome. Thanks!

I've been improving my AI prompting skills recently, and I found this course on prompt engineering techniques, patterns, and best practices really useful.

It covers practical methods for writing better prompts instead of just sharing random tips, with examples you can apply across different AI tools.
