Building deterministic MCP Agents

Learn to build deterministic AI agents using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and structured quality metrics for repeatable, verifiable outputs. You will explore PMAT as a quality assessment tool for software projects, applying lean manufacturing principles from the Toyota Way including continuous improvement and waste elimination to software quality engineering. The course covers the certainty-scope tradeoff for balancing test coverage and confidence, finite state machine models for deterministic agent behavior, and MCP protocol architecture for structured agent-tool communication. You will a…
