Visual Studio Code: 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.
