In this workshop, we will introduce the ideas behind Agentic AI systems using a recently introduced protocol called Model Context Protocol or MCP [Please see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_Context_Protocol]. Throughout the day of the workshop, we will plugin various tools to the LLM using MCP servers and show you how you can implement it for your own work.
This is a full day hands-on technical workshop.
NOTE:
- The workshop will be held in English.
- We will be using Anthropic Desktop Claude as our LLM [Please see https://claude.com/download]. It would be great if you can download the application of your machines and create an account. Please note that you can use the free version but it will have limits [Please see https://support.claude.com/en/articles/8602283-about-free-claude-usage].
- We also expect that you will have access to tools like Github
- If you do not know how to code, you can just use your favourite LLM to generate code during the workshop.
The broad topics that will be covered are (but not limited to):
- Introduction to Agentic AI systems: background, Basic concepts
- Introduction to MCP: What is it, What problems is it solving
- How to write an MCP server: Local and Remote
- Implement a use-case using MCP
- Use your own use-case and implement it
We (highly) encourage you to bring your own datasets or API access so that you can use them to implement your use-case with an MCP server (using Anthropic Claude). You should, of course, keep in mind regulations and privacy laws that apply to your data/API access.
I am an AI researcher at the Berner Fachhochshule. My day-to-day activity consists of training Large Language Models, creating RAG systems and everything related to these topics. I also teach many different courses on artificial intelligence for both technical and non-technical students.
