AI coding assistants are evolving from simple autocomplete to autonomous agents that can interact with external systems. But how do you teach an agent to follow your workflows and use the right tools at the right time?
In this hands-on workshop, you'll discover:
- What MCP (Model Context Protocol) is and how it standardizes tool integration for LLMs
- How Agent Skills package domain-specific knowledge and workflows for AI agents
- The key differences between MCP servers and Skills, and when to use each
- How to create a custom Skill that orchestrates multiple MCP tools into a cohesive workflow
By the end of this session, you'll build your own AI Skill that uses MCP tools — a Matrix-themed Neo fighting skill.
Who should attend: This workshop is ideal for software developers who use AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, or similar) and want to extend their capabilities with custom integrations and workflows. No prior MCP or Skills experience required — just bring your curiosity and a laptop.
