Introduction to Vibe Coding with Claude Code

In the rapidly evolving field of AI development, paiza Corporation has launched the third installment of its collaboration with Python VTuber Sapu, titled "Introduction to Vibe Coding with Claude Code: Let’s Use MCP!" This new course aims to equip IT engineers with advanced methods of implementing Vibe Coding, a style of using generative AI to produce code through natural language instructions.

Course Outline

This course emphasizes the use of MCP (Model Context Protocol), a standard introduced by Anthropic that allows AI models to safely access external data and tools. Here, learners will delve into the emerging techniques that blend MCP with Claude Code, guided by the clear explanations from Sapu. Throughout the course, participants will learn how to create web applications by connecting external tools with the Claude Code for VSCode.

Key Features of the Course

The curriculum is designed to provide a systematic understanding of how to utilize real-world data from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, including real estate, educational, and healthcare information, to construct functional applications. The course will cover:

• - Concept Clarification of Vibe Coding: A refresher on generative AI-centric development flows.
• - Foundation of MCP: An explanation of the differences between Web APIs and the necessity of MCP today.
• - Claude Code Implementation: Advanced manipulation of AI agents within Visual Studio Code.
• - Practical App Development: Creating a web application to extract regions suitable for child-rearing using natural language queries based on data from the Ministry of Land.
