Deep dive into Model Context Protocol (MCP)

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) standardizes how AI agents connect to external data and tools.

Moving beyond local experiments, this talk explores advanced MCP architectures: local vs. remote server deployments, advanced human-in-the-loop features, and hosting and scaling strategies for remote MCP servers. With Java code we will walk through MCP features, highlighting how to use them in AI agents.

About James Ward

James Ward is a software developer who shares what he learns with others through presentations, blogs, demos, and code. After over two decades of professional programming, he is now a self-proclaimed Typed Pure Functional Programming zealot but often compromises on his ideals to just get stuff done. After spending too many sleepless nights in data centers repairing RAID arrays, he now prefers higher-level cloud abstractions with appropriate escape hatches. James is a huge Open Source proponent, hoping to never get burned by lock-in again.
