Beyond the Basics: Unlocking the Power of MCP (Model Context Protocol)

I am excited to invite David Hague to share his experience building and using MCP servers. A standard protocol for LLM to connect with outside world. David Hague is a developer, AI engineer, and entrepreneur who builds practical tools that bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI and real-world workflows.

In this talk, we’ll dig deep into Model Context Protocol (MCP) and explore how it can transform day-to-day workflows. We’ll start with the basics—showing how MCP servers can be integrated into familiar tools like VS Code and other desktop applications. Then, we’ll push beyond the basics, discussing how to create custom MCP servers. Showing practical demos of MCP integration in Python projects.

We’ll also cover the latest developments in the ecosystem, including how MCP and Google’s new A2A standard work together. Whether you’re looking to streamline your current development workflow or discover novel applications of MCP, this session will equip you with the knowledge and inspiration to harness the full potential of this powerful protocol.
