Everyone’s talking about AI right now, but here’s the real question: how do you actually hook it up to your own .NET apps and services without duct tape and magic?
That’s where the Model Context Protocol (MCP) comes in. It’s an open standard that makes it dead simple to connect large language models (LLMs) with real-world tools, APIs, and data. Think of it like ODBC, but for AI.
We’ll keep things casual and interactive, but are a few of the things we’ll aim to do in our session:
- Demystify what MCP servers are (in plain English)
- Show how .NET developers can spin up their own
- Walk through real scenarios where this stuff is genuinely useful
- Hook up and experiment with an existing MCP Server to see what we can build (and break)
No AI PhD required. If you’ve ever built an API in .NET, you’ll get it. Come hang out, learn something new, and leave with ideas for how to make your apps a little smarter (and your job a little easier).
A huge thanks to our friends at Arrive Logistics who have offered to host our event this month in their offices. ✨✨✨
