Just let the chat bot take over my life already

Have you ever been working with your favorite chat bot, trying to get some information or figure out how to do something and thought to yourself: Hey Claude, why don't you just do this for me? I'll give you access to my computer and email and you take care of everything!

...

Neither have I, but if that's something you want to do, the Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the thing you've been waiting for!

MCP Servers allow an LLM system like Claude or ChatGPT to talk to and control tools like databases, web browsers, or even your local files. In this talk we're going to review the protocol, talk about what kinds of things it can do, and implement a basic MCP server in Typescript.
