As AI agents become increasingly prevalent in production systems, you face a critical challenge: extending these agents beyond their base capabilities to interact with proprietary systems, custom APIs, and domain-specific tools.

In this session, you'll build a fully functional AI agent using Strands Agents, an open-source framework, with minimal code. You'll learn how to enhance your agent's capabilities by integrating three types of tools: native framework tools, custom implementations, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.
