Supporting Agentic AI With MCP And APIs

Many long-held IT assumptions are being disrupted by three trends in AI: AppGen platforms, AI computing, and adaptive process orchestration. Existing API architecture cannot support the needs of these AI modalities. A new application is emerging, with model context protocol (MCP) being an early key component. This webinar walks through this trend and presents early emerging best practices for implementing MCP.Key takeaways: Understand how APIs and integration more broadly support AI.Learn the emerging best practices for MCP implementations.Target audience level: beginner
