Case details

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard pioneered by Anthropic that revolutionizes how intelligent applications connect AI models to real-world data, tools, and services. By providing a universal, standardized protocol for integrating large language models (LLMs) with diverse external systems, MCP eliminates the complexity of building custom connectors for every new integration. This session will introduce MCP’s architecture, demonstrate how to build an MCP server and consume it using Microsoft c# SDK, and showcase why MCP is a game changer for developers building intelligent, context-aware applications. Attendees will see a live demo of creating and integrating an MCP server, and learn how MCP’s dynamic tool discovery, real-time data access can unlock new possibilities for AI-powered solutions. Join us to discover why every developer should embrace the MCP revolution and future-proof their intelligent applications.
