Are you ready to shape the next era of user interaction? Dive deep into the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the groundbreaking standard that's redefining how AI interfaces with applications. Whether you're a developer, product leader, or AI enthusiast, this hands-on event will equip you with the knowledge and skills to build the tools that tomorrow's "Jarvis" assistants will rely on.
Thanks for the fantastic work, I've definitely learned a bunch. Now comes the fun part!Matt Scholta
In this workshop, you'll get a comprehensive introduction to the MCP specification, learning not just the what but the why behind this protocol's design. We'll walk through real-world use cases, explore the architecture of MCP servers, and demystify the glue that connects LLMs to the world's data and services. You'll discover how the MCP SDK empowers you to create robust, secure, and scalable integrations. No more brittle wrappers or endless custom glue code. Instead, you'll learn to build tools that are discoverable, composable, and ready for the AI-powered future. (Learn more about the vision behind MCP)
What you'll learn and build in this workshop:
- The core architecture of MCP: hosts, clients, and servers (spec)
- How to set up and verify MCP server connectivity with
ping - How to declare and implement tools, including input validation, error handling, and dynamic responses
- How to expose and manage resources (files, database records, etc.) for LLMs and clients
- How to create and register reusable, parameterized prompts to guide model behavior
- How to leverage MCP's sampling capability to request model completions and automate tasks
- Hands-on debugging and real-world integration patterns
Expect a blend of theory and practice: you'll see live demos, get hands-on with the SDK, and debug real MCP servers in a collaborative environment. We'll cover best practices for tool design, security considerations, and how to make your services accessible to both humans and AI. You'll also gain insight into the cost-effective promise of MCP, and how it's already changing the landscape of AI onboarding and user experience.
Not the first workshop I sign up to with Kent and it never disappoints. Learned a ton thank youLucien
And all of this in the guided experience of the Epic Workshop app which is a fine-tuned learning environment that runs on your local machine and guides you in your own editor with the tools you use to develop software every day. Add to that the MCP server from the workshop and you get an AI Assistant Instructor to help make sure you spend all your time actually learning.
Even though we are in an early stage of the MCPs it was very useful information to either build our own things or to use other. I really appreciate all this information and I'm looking forward to know more about. The content was awesome Kent thanks for all of this.Raul
This is a unique opportunity to become an early adopter and shaper of a technology that's still in its infancy, but moving fast. The MCP ecosystem is evolving rapidly, and by joining this workshop, you'll be at the forefront, ready to build integrations that matter. You'll leave with not just technical know-how, but a new perspective on what's possible when AI can truly interact with your app, your data, and your users. Securely and at scale.
The workshop was insightful and engaging, I can't wait to start buildingRohald
