Room 5Wed 13 May • 11:15–12:15AI & AgentsIntroductory and overview
Does your AI seem to miss important details about your business, technology stack, or other "obvious" information? One solution is to have your AI use an MCP server that provides that information on-demand, so you get the results you are looking for via chat, coding in agent mode, or in other settings. Join me as I walk through the process of building an MCP server in C# and .NET, including vector encoding your data, using a hybrid search approach, exposing and testing the MCP endpoint, and more. Learning objectives: 1. Learn how to build and test an MCP endpoint 2. Learn how to implement hybrid search over a set of data 3. Learn how to package and deploy an MCP server
