Without a shared way for AI systems to connect to tools, data, and infrastructure, the future risks becoming locked behind proprietary, single‑vendor ecosystems. The **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** — recently donated to the Linux Foundation under the **Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF)** — offers a transformative solution. MCP acts as a **universal adapter** for agentic AI, cleanly separating business logic from prompts and enabling developers to build tool‑agnostic, vendor‑neutral agents. This session provides a practical, grounded exploration of MCP, including demonstrations of how to build and deploy MCP servers to: * Standardize developer workflows using community‑maintained servers
