MCP: Connecting AI to Tools & Data

This session explores the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard for connecting AI applications to external systems such as databases, APIs, and developer tools. The content covers the architecture of MCP, the interaction between clients and servers, and how AI models discover and invoke tools. Participants will learn about MCP components, including resources and prompts, and observe a practical demonstration of building an MCP server, alongside discussions on architectural patterns and use cases.
