Build a Nanobot-style AI Agent in Google Colab: Tool Calling, Chat Memory, Skills & MCP Server
Decision Brief
What changedA tutorial on building a lightweight personal AI agent from scratch in Google Colab, including tool registration, conversation memory, lifecycle hooks, skills, and an MCP-style tool server.
Why it mattersAI builders need to understand how to build an extensible, vendor-agnostic agent loop without external frameworks, enabling flexible integration with real LLMs and production tools.

This tutorial starts with a vendor abstraction layer and incrementally adds tool registration, conversation memory, lifecycle hooks, skills, and an MCP-style tool server. By rebuilding each building block, you learn how messages, tools, memory, and model responses work together. The result is a vendor-agnostic agent loop extensible to real LLM providers and production tools, all runnable in Google Colab.
