Essential MCP (Model Context Protocol) Workshop – Empowering AI Agents
Details
Language models are revolutionizing AI by enabling systems to generate and understand natural human language. Whether it's large language models (LLMs) or smaller, more specialized models (SLMs), advancements in this space are making headlines daily.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that enables seamless integration between Al apps & agents and your tools & data sources. A key feature of MCP is its ability to define tools that AI agents can leverage to perform tasks efficiently. Whether deployed locally or remotely, MCP servers enable seamless interaction between applications and AI-driven automation.
