About this event

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the open standard for connecting AI models to tools and data. This half-day event covers MCP end to end: its role as an open standard, how it's adopted across the developer ecosystem, and hands-on sessions on building MCP servers. It also addresses enterprise readiness including authentication, governance, and security.
