Real-Time Agentic Context with MCP

Learn how the Model Context Protocol (MCP) actually works by building your own Java MCP server tool from scratch and creating an agent that uses it to deliver real-time, context-aware assistance directly in your development workflow.

We’ll break down the MCP protocol step by step:

• How context streams between IDEs and agents
• How MCP messages are structured and exchanged
• How to connect an MCP client to your custom tool

Bring your laptop and curiosity. You’ll leave with a working prototype and the confidence to build your own MCP integrations.
