MCP Apps add graphical interfaces to the connective power of the Model Context Protocol (MCP). In this course, author and data science leader Lillian Pierson teaches you how to build an MCP App that renders an interactive analytics dashboard inside a Claude Code MCP host while enforcing enterprise-style governance patterns. Rather than focusing on generic chat-to-SQL workflows, Lillian shows you how to architect a controlled AI layer in front of business data systems.
By the end of this course, you’ll have created a functioning MCP server, a UI resource that renders inside the MCP host, an interactive analytics dashboard, role-based data access enforcement, and an audit log of tool usage. The dashboard analyzes simulated enterprise data provided as CSV files (CRM, billing, product usage, and support), representing exports from real-world business systems.
