Turn any existing REST API into an AI-native backend—no frontend required. This hands-on session demonstrates how to transform a traditional API into one that works seamlessly with AI agents like GitHub Copilot using Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Starting with a completely AI-unaware REST API, we'll walk through each step of the integration process. You'll see how MCP bridges the gap between your existing backend services and LLM-powered agents, enabling direct AI-to-API communication without building traditional user interfaces.

What you'll learn:

- How MCP enables AI agents to understand and interact with REST APIs
- Step-by-step transformation of a legacy API for AI consumption
- Real-world examples of AI agents replacing traditional frontends
- Best practices for designing AI-friendly API interfaces

Perfect for developers who want to make their existing services accessible to the growing ecosystem of AI agents and tools.
