The Model Context Protocol: A Universal Interface for AI-Native Development
A Talk by Doug Finke (Generative AI and Automation Consultant)
About this Talk
Picture the leap from virtual machines to containers—that’s the upgrade MCP brings to AI tooling. In six minutes you’ll watch a PowerShell STDIO host and a language-agnostic HTTP server light up inside VS Code, both answering the *same* JSON contract. I’ll hand you a minimal repo that shows exactly how to wire the server and VS Code host; after that we’ll explore the eye-opening possibilities this unlocks—self-healing tests, instant infra, Claude Desktop calling the very same endpoint, and the policy layer that keeps it all safe. Walk away with a clear pattern for conversational, agent-assisted, protocol-driven development—whatever language or toolchain you use.
