Anthropic

Explore how the Model Context Protocol (MCP) client serves as the communication bridge between your application and MCP servers, enabling standardized AI-powered tool integration with transport-agnostic communication.

Learn how to build a production-ready hybrid search system that combines the semantic understanding of vector embeddings with the precision of BM25 lexical search using Reciprocal Rank Fusion (RRF). Includes architecture patterns, mathematical explanations, and real-world examples.

Take your prompt caching implementation to the next level with advanced strategies, edge case handling, and production-ready patterns for high-volume applications.

Learn how to use Claude's vision capabilities for image analysis, from basic implementation to production-ready systems. Covers technical constraints, prompting techniques that dramatically improve accuracy, and real-world examples like automated fire risk assessment.

Resources in MCP servers allow you to expose data to clients, similar to GET request handlers in a typical HTTP server. They're perfect for scenarios where you need to fetch information rather than perform actions.

Learn when to let Claude figure out the steps instead of defining them yourself. Discover how to build powerful agents with simple, combinable tools that handle unpredictable tasks. Includes tool design principles and real-world examples.

Discover how Claude's Extended Thinking feature gives the model time to work through complex problems step-by-step. Learn when to use it, how to implement it, security considerations with the signature system, and best practices for production deployments.

Claude operates blindly without environment inspection. Learn why observation is essential for effective agents and how to build inspection capabilities into your tools. Includes practical patterns and real-world examples.

Learn how to process PDF documents with Claude for intelligent analysis beyond simple text extraction. Covers implementation, what Claude can extract from PDFs, common use cases like contract analysis and data extraction, and production best practices.

Stop letting users reinvent the wheel. Learn how to create battle-tested prompts in MCP servers that deliver consistent, high-quality results every time. Complete guide covering server-side implementation, client integration, and best practices.
