About this session
AI becomes significantly more useful when it can securely interact with external tools and data. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is emerging as an important standard for connecting AI applications to those capabilities.
In this session, we will explain MCP in practical terms, look at the core architecture, and walk through examples of how an MCP-enabled AI system can discover and use external resources. The focus will be on understanding why MCP matters and where organizations and developers can use it.
Takeaway
Understand MCP's role in the emerging AI ecosystem and be able to recognize when it may be useful for your applications or organization.
