React Day Berlin 2026

In this workshop we'll dive into the latest advancements in React and best practices for building modern React apps. We'll take a look at modern NextJS and React Router 7 Framework along with React's "React Server Components". We'll also talk about improving the data-fetching strategies of your SPAs along with options for migrating your SPA to modern React Router.

Stop prompting. Start orchestrating. In four intense hours you'll go from using Claude Code like a faster autocomplete to commanding it like a senior engineer commands a team: engineering its context, deploying fleets of subagents, locking it down with hooks, and turning it loose on work that runs without you.Every Claude Code user hits a ceiling where the easy wins run out. The agent handles small stuff beautifully, then loses the thread on anything real. The difference between that ceiling and real mastery isn't better prompts. It's control. This workshop is about control.You'll spend the whole four hours inside CLASH, a real full-stack application, handed to you fully built so nothing stands between you and the hard parts. A serious codebase is the point: it's the only place agentic engineering shows you whether it actually holds up.The throughline is context. Treated carelessly, the context window fills with noise until the agent drifts. Treated as a resource you engineer, it becomes the biggest lever you have. From there the toolkit opens up. Repeatable work becomes a reusable Skill. Noisy, exploratory work goes to subagents that run in their own isolated context, several at once when the job allows. Hard rules become hooks the agent cannot cross. Your own systems come into reach through MCP.Then you let go of the wheel, carefully. The same agent that pairs with you can run headless in a pipeline, drive a long task to a defined finish on its own, or live inside your software through the Agent SDK. We close by setting two greenfield methodologies, Spec Kit and BMAD, side by side, so you leave knowing not just how to drive the agent but which approach fits which problem.Two ideas hold it together: context is king, and you push it, you own it. This was never about generating code faster. It's about staying in command while the agent does more.This is an advanced session for engineers, tech leads, and architects who already use Claude Code every day and want to reach the top of the curve. We move fast, and we start in the deep end.

Your UI already knows how to fetch data, submit forms, and navigate - so why are AI agents still scraping your DOM? In this workshop you'll turn your React app into something AI agents can talk to directly - an MCP app.

WebMCP is an emerging browser API protocol that lets web applications expose structured MCP tools directly to AI agents via navigator.modelContext. Instead of agents reverse-engineering your UI, they discover typed, documented functions - complete with JSON Schema inputs and structured responses. Basically, an MCP server running inside your web page.

In this hands-on workshop, we'll take a real React application with GraphQL data fetching and progressively transform it into an agent-ready MCP app. You'll learn how to identify which parts of your UI to expose as tools, architect a clean WebMCP layer that doesn't pollute your existing codebase, and add imperative API calls that agents can invoke on demand. We'll cover the spec, the practical patterns, and the gotchas - and you'll leave with a working implementation you can apply to your own apps.

No AI background required. If you build web apps, this is for you.
