Tiny Agents in Python: a MCP-powered agent in ~70 lines of code
Hugging Face published a tutorial demonstrating how to build a minimal AI agent in approximately 70 lines of Python using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The post shows how MCP enables tool discovery and invocation for LLM-based agents with very little boilerplate. This is part of a broader trend of simplifying agent construction by standardizing tool interfaces.
