Bridging the Gap: Implementing the Model Context Protocol (MCP) in Java

Join Cody and Carl for an essential deep dive into the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open standard that is revolutionizing how Large Language Models reliably integrate with enterprise systems and APIs. MCP solves the complex "M x N" integration problem, acting as a universal "USB-C port" that drastically simplifies connecting LLMs to your existing Java APIs and databases via familiar patterns like JSON-RPC 2.0. Learn how this framework enables powerful, agentic AI, reduces hallucinations, and is already being used by industry leaders to build the next generation of scalable applications on the JVM.

Cody is a Solutions Architect at Ippon Technologies and self-proclaimed software craft evangelist. He has over 10 years of experience as a full stack developer, with a passion for optimizing engineering workflows. In his free time he likes to play tennis competitively or go hiking with his dog King Louie.

Carl has a deep and practical understanding of modern architectures, including Agile Modernization, Domain Driven Design, and Event Driven Architecture. He has served in a variety of roles in the public and private sectors. His experience includes AI-based efforts, containerization, Kubernetes, workflow engines, cloud-native design patterns, application development, and Zero Trust across a wide variety of industries. He is passionate about secure and modern software development practices and has experience with multiple programming languages in addition to Java.
