This session explores the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard that enables AI assistants to securely connect with external data sources and tools. You'll learn how to build custom MCP servers that extend AI capabilities beyond their base knowledge, allowing seamless integration with databases, APIs, file systems, and specialized tools.

Attendees will gain practical knowledge to create their own MCP servers, enabling AI assistants to interact with custom data sources and perform specialized tasks within their organizations. Whether you're looking to integrate with internal systems or create reusable tools for the broader community, this talk provides the foundation for building robust, secure MCP servers.
