MCP Live!

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the open standard for connecting AI models to tools and data. This half-day event covers MCP end to end: its role as an open standard, how it's adopted across the developer ecosystem, and hands-on sessions on building MCP servers. We also address enterprise readiness including authentication, governance, and security. 🔗 http://aka.ms/MCPLiveResources 🔎 Chapters: 00:00 Countdown 14:31 Welcome & Introductions 15:12 Model Context Protocol overview 16:20 Today's agenda 19:28 The State of MCP - Caitie McCaffrey (Microsoft) 47:09 Q&A 56:52 MCP: Server, Client & Protocol at GitHub - Sam Morrow (GitHub) 01:10:00 Q&A 01:20:23 A unified MCP layer with Toolboxes in Microsoft Foundry - Viswajeeet Balaji (Microsoft) 01:39:39 Q&A 01:45:54 Building MCP servers with VS Code — Level up your MCP - Harald Kirschner (Microsoft) 02:14:06 Q&A 02:30:50 Recap of what we've seen so far 02:32:29 Evolution of MCP auth - Den Delimarsky (Anthropic) 02:52:15 Q&A 02:58:49 MCP auth: Stop registering, start linking - Sam Bellen (Okta) 03:15:27 Q&A 03:21:05 When chatbots grow buttons: Building MCP apps with FastMCP - Jeremiah Lowin (Prefect) 03:36:12 Q&A 03:45:08 Event-driven agents, powered by MCP - Clare Liguori (Amazon) 04:01:20 Q&A 04:05:05 Closing Comments - Liam Hampton and Pamela Fox (Microsoft/GitHub), MCP advocates 04:09:33 Get Involved, Contribute and Connect 04:14:487 That's a wrap 🎙️ Featuring: Pamela Fox (@pamelafox), Liam Hampton (@Liamchampton) #ModelContextProtocol #MCPLive #DeveloperTools #VSCode #AIEngineering
