This workshop provides a practical introduction to Model Context Protocol (MCP) and how it can be used to extend the capabilities of various LLMs. We will cover a range of MCPs, from financial data tools to other use cases, and highlight startups building analytics agents and developing their own MCPs to connect with LLMs. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how MCP works and how to apply it across different models and workflows.
