MCP @ Vivid Planet

In this session, we’ll explore the Model Context Protocol (MCP). We’ll build a custom MCP server that provides tools for an LLM. Then, we’ll connect the server to a locally running LLM to see it in action.

What will we do?
We’ll work in pairs to build an MCP server for a fictitious hotel. The server will provide tools to get information about rooms, check availabilities and finally book a room. The end goal is that an LLM can use these tools to guide users through choosing a room and then complete a booking, all via chat.

What should I bring?
· A laptop with a working development setup of your choice
· Curiosity about LLM systems and current AI trends
A repo with a basic MCP-Nest setup will be provided. It’s also possible to use another framework / language.

Who can join?
Everyone! No prior experience with MCP or LLMs is required.
