MASTERCLASS
MCP (Model Context Protocol): Connecting AI to Your Everyday Tools
SHORT DESCRIPTION
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is gradually emerging as a key standard for connecting artificial intelligence models to tools, databases, and business environments.
By enabling seamless interactions between AI systems and external services, MCP paves the way for smarter, more useful assistants that can interact with real-world applications.
This masterclass offers a practical introduction to how MCP works, its use cases, and its potential through a clear presentation and a live demonstration.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The rise of generative artificial intelligence has demonstrated the full potential of models capable of understanding and generating content. However, to create real operational value, these systems must be able to interact with business tools, access relevant data, and perform actions in real environments.
This is the purpose of the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a protocol designed to standardize how AI models communicate with external applications.
Thanks to MCP, it becomes possible to connect artificial intelligence to a wide range of services: databases, CRM systems, internal tools, document management systems, business platforms, or custom applications.
This evolution represents a major opportunity for organizations seeking to deploy truly useful intelligent assistants capable of going beyond simple conversation.
Through this masterclass, participants will discover the core principles of MCP, its practical use cases, and how to design their own AI-tool integrations, with a live hands-on demonstration.
OBJECTIVES
- Understand what the Model Context Protocol (MCP) is and its role in the AI ecosystem.
- Learn how to connect AI systems to business tools and data sources.
- Identify practical MCP use cases within organizations and companies.
- Understand the steps involved in building and deploying an MCP server.
- Attend a live demonstration of MCP creation and implementation.
TARGET AUDIENCE
This webinar is intended for:
- Developers, engineers, and technical profiles interested in applied AI.
- Startups and entrepreneurs looking to build connected intelligent assistants.
- Innovation, digital transformation, and IT leaders.
- Students and professionals seeking to upskill in emerging AI architectures.
- Anyone interested in advanced uses of artificial intelligence.
