Hello everyone and welcome.
In this video, we will go over an architecture that reflects a real world agent system.
The use case that we will explore here is an Excel document analyzer and the components that we would
go over as Claude Desktop, which is a client interface where user and Claude interact.
We have a server where the host tools and the prompt are used by Claude.
We have the tools here, which are pre-built functions like extract data or generate report.
Then we have prompts which are predefined templates for tasks like analyzing data.
And then we have file systems where the Excel files are stored and can be accessible by the server.
So let's take a step by step walk through in the entire flow of events that happen over starts, and
sends a list of available capabilities like tools and prompts to the Claude Desktop client.
Why does it do this?
it does that.
So Claude knows what it can do with the data and the tools that are available to use.
Now, once the server's bootstrapped information is shared, the user makes a request to Claude and
it asks it to perform an analysis of an existing Excel document.
For example, summarize the data trends in this spreadsheet.
So this is the first request that a user sends to the Claude LM using Claude Desktop as a host.
Now Claude plans the entire task.
Claude receives the user's request and examines the available tools on the server to decide how to fulfill
the request.
Why this matters is because Claude isn't just guessing.
It uses structured tools like extract data or Generate Report to complete the task intelligently.
Now coming to the third execution flow is Claude executes the tools that were explored sequentially.
Eventually, Claude calls one tool at a time, feeding outputs from one step into another.
So it can be the sequence of documents like first validate the document, then extract the data, then
analyze the data, and then generate the report.
Now the fourth step is here which is file system access.
The tools on the server are granted access to necessary Excel files stored in the file system.
We do this so that Claude can read and analyze the contents of this spreadsheets.
It can use the data to detect trends and summarize values depending on the question that the user asked.
Thank you so much.
I hope you understand the overall flow of how the entire components, the communicate with each other,
from the bootstrapping to performing a real time query and an MCP architecture.
Thank you.
I'll see you in the next video.
