quick tldr; We are doing a live 60 minutes AMA with folks from Microsoft, Pinecone, Santiago and Alden (CEO CustomGPT.ai) on MCP, sounds interesting? Register.
The goal is to educate about MCP, answer questions, and cover use cases: RAG + MCP, IDEs + MCP, etc. We’ll have live demos, Pinecone folks talking about what they are up to, and much more fun!
If you have been early in the MCP race, this would surely be worth your time.
Why might this interest you?
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a low-level JSON-RPC protocol for passing structured context and tools to an LLM. Instead of gluing prompts together, you expose one JSON endpoint for a tool (and it takes care of tons of API endpoints for that tool).
MCP is just REST for LLMs! It really is that simple!
We plan to show a live demo of a working MCP, preferably hosted one, setting up configs, with Claude.
We will also answer any questions!
Featured Speakers:
1. Michael Kistler - Principal Program Manager at Microsoft
2. Arjun Patel - Senior Developer Advocate at Pinecone
3. Santiago (https://www.linkedin.com/in/svpino/) - Computer scientist and teaches hard-core Machine Learning; will walk you through Why do we need MCP?, Before MCP vs. After MCP, Architecture, Primitives, and Advantages.
4. Alden Do Rosario - will dissect the RAG + MCP pipeline we run in prod, live demo.
Format: - 3×10 min tech talks (protocol, integration, case study) - 10 min panel on lessons learned - 20 min open Q&A - bring tough questions
