You’ve heard the buzz — now roll up your sleeves and build with it. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn exactly how the Model Context Protocol (MCP) works — and you’ll write your own MCP server tool from scratch, then author an Agent that uses it to deliver real-time, context-aware help right inside your dev flow.

We’ll break down the raw MCP protocol step by step:
• How it streams context between your IDE and Agents
• How messages are structured and exchanged
• How to wire up an MCP Client to talk to your new tool

By the end, you’ll not only understand the protocol — you’ll have built a working MCP server tool and your own Agent that plugs into it to automate tasks, provide better suggestions, and boost your productivity.

Bring your curiosity — and your laptop — because you’ll walk away with practical code, a working prototype, and the confidence to build and extend your own MCP-powered tools and Agents.

bring your command line, IDE.
Attendees will understand the fundamental design and flow of the Model Context Protocol — how it passes real-time context between developer tools and intelligent Agents, and why that matters for productivity.
