How to Design a Production-Ready AI Agent That Automates Google Colab Workflows Using Colab-MCP, MCP Tools, FastMCP, and Kernel Execution
In this tutorial, we build an advanced, hands-on tutorial around Google’s newly released colab-mcp, an open-source MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets any AI agent programmatically control Google Colab notebooks and runtimes. Across five self-contained snippets, we go from first principles
