Welcome!
Join us for some free food, networking, and presentations! Meetups are a great way to connect with the community and learn from each other.

Schedule:
7:00: Greetings, food (Café Zupas), and connecting with others.
7:10: Kent C. Dodds - Interactive MCP with React Router:
Model Context Protocol is a powerful way to extend AI with context from the outside world, but right now the interaction with an AI is mostly text-based. Text is fine for answering simple questions, but when it comes to things like "help me find a good shirt for my kid's spider-man themed birthday party" or "get me directions to the nearest taco stand," we need much more. Clients like ChatGPT do have UIs for maps and things, but it's pretty limited and bespoke because it's built case-by-case by ChatGPT engineers.

As we extend the model with more context and capabilities via MCP, we can also extend it with a proper user interface using React Router and MCP UI getting the best of both worlds. A powerful agent + a great UI.

In this talk, Kent will demonstrate how to create an MCP server with React Router and expose great UI capabilities to the model. We're still early days for this, but the future is going to be awesome.

Want to Present? You do not have to be an expert to present, it doesn't have to be about Remix specifically, and it can be a short presentation! It's one of the best ways to force yourself to learn something new and solidify what you've been learning.

Please fill out this form to volunteer to present. Filling out the form isn't necessarily a commitment to speak, so even if you might be interested, please fill it out!
