Demystifying MCP - Tips, Tricks, and How to Use It at Scale
Location not specified yet
🚨🚨 REGISTRATION REQUIRED ON LUMA 🚨🚨

This month, we’re digging into MCP (Model Context Protocol) and how it’s shaping the next wave of AI development.

Sessions & Speakers

Intro to MCP
Jan Curn, Founder & CEO of Apify
In this talk, Jan will cover basic concepts of Model Context Protocol (MCP) and what makes it special, and then do a practical demonstration of its power on several use cases. We'll discuss how the MCP lays the foundation for the future agentic economy, in which AI agents will be able to discover and purchase services to complete their tasks autonomously.

Live Demo
Trevor Dilley (CTO) & Mike Biglan (CEO) of DevSwarm
MCP is to AI what APIs are to modern software. Watch a live flow that connects Playwright, Jira, Context7, PostHog, Sentry, and Apify. See the reliability patterns and standardization that unlock connected, context-aware systems you can run today.
