​Short description ​How MCP is changing the way developers build integrations between agents, applications, APIs, and data sources.

​Full description ​Every application, API, and data source speaks a slightly different language. For developers building AI agents, connecting those systems has traditionally meant creating and maintaining a growing collection of custom integrations.

​MCP introduces a more universal approach.

​Join Open Future Forum during SF TechWeek for a developer-focused discussion about how the Model Context Protocol is changing the way agents discover, connect to, and use external capabilities.

​We’ll explore how MCP can create a consistent interface between agents and the systems around them—making integrations more portable, reusable, secure, and easier to operate.

​Topics will include: - MCP as a universal interface for agent integrations - Connecting agents to applications, APIs, tools, and data sources - MCP clients, servers, gateways, and integration hubs - Tool discovery, capability schemas, context, and actions - Authentication, permissions, credentials, and policy enforcement - Portability and interoperability across models and agent frameworks - Production considerations for reliability, observability, and scale

​This session is for AI engineers, platform teams, API builders, developer-tool leaders, technical founders, and anyone designing the connective infrastructure for AI agents.

​Come meet the builders working toward a world where every useful capability can connect to any agent.
