MCP Straight Talk: Cutting Through the Noise

Webinars
  • May 20th

    9:00am CDT / 10:00am EDT / 3:00pm BST

Meet the speakers

MCP is everywhere right now; and most explanations of it assume you already know what it does. This session cuts through the noise with a straightforward, jargon-free breakdown built for enterprise technology leaders. We’ll cover what the Model Context Protocol was actually designed to do, what it was never meant to replace, and why getting that distinction wrong leads to architectural decisions that are expensive to undo.

Attendees will learn:

  • The difference between the MCP protocol and MCP servers — and why conflating them leads to bad architectural decisions
  • What MCP was specifically designed to enable: agent-to-agent communication, capability discovery, and action execution
  • What MCP was never built to replace — and what happens in production when teams treat it as a substitute
  • When MCP should and shouldn’t factor into your enterprise AI strategy
