🎤 Chatting TV : MCP + LLM + RESTful API of TV
👨‍💻 Speaker: Manish Panchmatia
📝 MCP (Message Control Protocol) is quickly becoming a buzzword in the world of agentic AI. In this technical session, you'll gain a deep understanding of MCP as a protocol examined through the OSI model and explore its core components using sequence diagrams. We’ll also present a live demo of a hobby project, “Chatting with TV”, an end-to-end application that integrates an LLM, host, MCP client, and MCP server to control a television through a chat interface. By the end of the session, you’ll be ready to start building your own MCP server for real-world, practical applications.
