Yet, the background of your AI app is exactly where an MCP should be, and in this talk we cover why. We will tour the MCP protocol, the Python reference implementation, and an example agent using an MCP. Expect protocol flow-charts, architecture diagrams, and a real-world demo. You will walk away knowing the core ideas of MCP, how it connects to the broader ecosystem, and how to power your AI agents. ?Venue provided by Moderna This, and all NumFOCUS-affiliated events and spaces, both in-person and online, are governed by a Code of Conduct:?
