AI Dev Tools Zoomcamp

Sign up for the AI Dev Tools Zoomcamp on the DataTalksClub registration page. The course is free and runs in cohorts, with the first cohort starting November 18, 2025. Past cohort materials remain available on GitHub.

# Visit: https://github.com/DataTalksClub/ai-dev-tools-zoomcamp
# Follow the registration link in the README to join the current cohort

Fork the course repository to your GitHub account or clone it locally to access lecture notes, homework assignments, and project templates.

git clone https://github.com/DataTalksClub/ai-dev-tools-zoomcamp.git
cd ai-dev-tools-zoomcamp

Install the primary coding tools covered in the course. At minimum, install Claude Code and configure it with your Anthropic API key for the hands-on exercises.

npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
# Configure with your API key:
claude config set api_key sk-ant-your-key

The course includes hands-on labs with MCP servers for GitHub, filesystem, databases, and CI/CD. Add these to your Claude Desktop or Cursor MCP configuration for the relevant modules.

  "mcpServers": {
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "."],
    },
    "github": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"],
      "env": { "GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "ghp_your_token" }
    }
  }
}

Work through the course modules in order: starting with chat AI tools, then coding assistants and IDEs, then project scaffolding, autonomous agents, MCP servers, and CI/CD automation with n8n and PR Agent.

Each module includes a graded homework assignment. Complete the assignments and submit through the course platform. The capstone project involves building a complete AI-assisted development pipeline using tools covered in the course.
