The Great (Interface) Escape: MCP's Promise and Precautions

We spend countless hours navigating poorly designed interfaces, searching for information, and completing tedious tasks like digital form filling—fighting with systems that should serve us, not consume our time. What if we could eliminate these frustrating interfaces entirely?

This talk explores how Model Context Protocol (MCP) is transforming our relationship with digital systems by letting AI agents handle the grunt work directly, without forcing humans through clunky UIs and broken processes. We'll cover:

- The Interface Problem: Why we're drowning in bad UIs and manual processes that waste our lives
- Enter MCP: How standardised agent communication could end the tyranny of terrible interfaces
- Reimagining Interaction: Real examples of tasks transforming from multi-step manual nightmares into seamless agent automation
- The Dark Side: Security vulnerabilities, data exposure risks, and the new attack vectors MCP introduces

You'll see live demonstrations of MCP eliminating interface friction, understand the protocol's core primitives, and confront the uncomfortable reality of what happens when agents have too much access to your systems.

This isn't just about efficiency—it's about the next wave of technological change that could fundamentally reshape how we interact with digital services. But are we ready for the security implications?
