A step-by-step walkthrough of building a Formula 1 themed MCP (Model Context Protocol) server in Python using VS Code. The tutorial covers setting up a Python virtual environment, installing the FastF1 and FastMCP libraries, creating data loading and driver comparison tools, generating a pytest test suite using a custom GitHub Copilot agent, and finally wrapping the tools in an MCP server and registering it in VS Code so GitHub Copilot Chat can query F1 race data via natural language.
