The buzz is real. But what is Model Context Protocol, really?
MCP is changing the game in 2025—cutting through the noise of bloated prompts and brittle workflows by delivering lean, structured, real-time context to your AI agents.
But let’s skip the hype and show you how it works.
In this live, hands-on session, we’ll break down MCP in plain English and walk you through building a live MCP connector from scratch—plug it into an agent, watch it fetch real data, and see how it reasons with structured context. No slides. Just working code.
✅ Demystify MCP: Learn how it pipelines real-time, structured context—without wasting tokens
✅ See how connectors handle auth, schemas, and live events across systems
✅ Watch a working example: Build a custom MCP server and plug it into an AI agent
✅ Walk away with starter code, tools, and everything you need to build your own connector
