Your API is not an MCP | DEMFP786
AI Summary
In this session titled “Your API is not an MCP,” David Gomes discusses the common misconception that auto-generating MCP servers from APIs is an acceptable practice. He emphasizes that MCP servers are designed for consumption by large language models (LLMs) rather than human users. The session explores the importance of careful consideration when designing MCP tools and resources, providing examples of tools suitable for agents but not for humans.
Attendees will gain insights into best practices for building effective MCP servers and the potential pitfalls of hastily constructed APIs. This talk is part of the Microsoft Build 2025 event, which features multiple sessions on AI, Copilot, and agent technologies.
