AI Developer Education
EpicAI.pro
EpicAI.pro teaches software developers to build applications that AI assistants can interact with through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Its self-paced Epic MCP course covers exposing tools, resources and prompts, adding authorization, and building interactive interfaces within AI conversations. Developers work in their own development environment toward deploying an MCP server that clients such as ChatGPT, Claude and Cursor can use.
Created by software engineer and educator Kent C. Dodds in 2025, EpicAI.pro extends his educational work with Epic React and Epic Web into AI application architecture. Its teaching emphasizes designing application capabilities for agent interaction. The Epic Workshop MCP integration applies that approach to learning: it connects AI-assisted editors to exercise instructions and differences between a learner’s code and the solution, enabling contextual explanations, progress checks and quizzes.
As of August 2026, the self-paced offering listed 142 videos and 47 exercises in TypeScript at a price of $500, with lifetime lesson access, a private Discord community and team discounts.
