Tired of tutorials that just walk you through connecting an existing MCP server to Claude Desktop?
Yeah, us too.
That's why we built Kubrick AI, an MCP Multimodal Agent for video processing tasks. Yes! You read that right.
💡 Agents + Video Processing ... and MCP!
This course is a collaboration between The Neural Maze and Neural Bits (from now on, "The Neural Bros"), and it's built for developers who want to go beyond the basics and build serious, production-ready AI Systems. In particular, you'll:
Learn how to build an MCP server for video processing using Pixeltable and FastMCP
Design a custom, Groq-powered agent, connected to your MCP server with its own MCP client
Integrate your agentic system with Opik for full observability and prompt versioning
Learn how to use Pixeltable for multimodal data processing and stateful agents
Create complex MCP servers using FastMCP: expose resources, prompts, and tools
Apply prompt versioning to your MCP server (instead of defining the prompts in the Agent API)
Learn how to implement custom MCP clients for your agents
Implement an MCP Tool Agent from scratch, using Llama 4 Scout and Maverick as the LLMs
Use Opik for MCP prompt versioning
Learn how to implement custom tracing and monitoring with Opik
🚀 No shortcuts. No fluff. Let's learn by doing.
Completing this course, you'll learn how to design and enable Agents to understand multimodal data, across images, video, audio, and text inputs, all within a single system.
Specifically, you'll get to:
After completing this course, you'll have built your own Kubrick Agent with a HAL-themed spin-off, to play the role of a new set of eyes and ears:
Kubrick is not a simple tutorial. So, to get this system up and running, there are a few things you need to do first.
We have detailed the steps to get you started in this GETTING_STARTED.md file.
💡 Having Kubrick running is just the first step! Now that you have it up and running, it's time to actually understand how it works (see Course Syllabus).
You'll get the most out of this course by building it yourself, from the ground up. The course components are structured to cover key concepts and demonstrate how to build upon them, ultimately leading to AI Systems.
| Target Audience | Skills you'll get | | ----- | ------------------| | ML/AI Engineers | Build complex MCP Servers, learn to apply AI Models to Video, Images, and Speech.| | Software Engineers | Learn to connect AI Components with APIs, building end-to-end agentic applications.| | Data Engineers/Scientists | Learn to design an AI System, managing Video/Audio/Image data processing and structure.
Regardless of your experience or title, this course aims to unpack complex topics in practical terms and concepts you could understand, learn, and apply - helping you to build a complete AI system.
In this section, we outlined a few requirements and nice-to-haves to improve your learning experience while taking this course. | Category | Label | Description | |----------| ----- | ----------- | | Programming Skills (Beginner) | Requirement | Understanding of Programming in general, and the Python language syntax. | AI/ML Concepts (Beginner) | Nice to Have | Understanding the basic concepts behind AI, AI Models, and AI Systems. | LLMs, MCP, Agents | Nice to Have | Perfect if you know about them, not a problem if you don't. We'll teach and explain it step by step. | Laptop/PC with any OS | Requirement | AI Models inference requires compute. To overcome that, we'll mainly use API based models.|
The overall level of this course is Beginner/Intermediate, but don't worry. We'll aim to explain every component step by step designed for a larger audience.
This course and its materials are open-source and completely free, thanks to our sponsors, Pixeltable and Opik!
You'll be able to run Kubrick examples while staying at a minimum cost. That's because we'll use OpenAI and Groq for our LLM and VLM calls, which offer freemium plans as such:
| Provider | Free Credits | | -------- | ----------- | | OpenAI | $5 on first sign-up | | Groq | 500,000 tokens/day
[!NOTE]
In this setup, for running the Kubrick Agent example, the freemium plans are enough.
The Kubrick Agent open-source course consists of five comprehensive modules, covering concepts, system design, tooling, and hands-on implementation.
