I had the opportunity (22-Nov-2025) to present at the 39th running of Boston Code Camp since started in 2003. Some links and notes and comments below.
First, thank you to the organizers, sponsors, and speakers who have been making this possible since 2003!
MCP – Model Context Protocol – is coming up on its first birthday and adoption is currently on 🔥 fire 🔥 accelerating the creation and adoption of new MCP servers.

Anthropic’s original MCP specification:
Tools and Libraries for building, testing, and consuming MCP servers:

- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/ai/get-started-mcp
- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/aspire/fundamentals/telemetry
- https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/tools/inspector
Registries of MCP Servers (these are a couple of examples of reputable ones, but be cautious about any registries, especially rando registries out there!):

Talk description:
Agency is the capacity to act autonomously, make choices, and shape outcomes. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) brings this agency to AI systems at scale.
In this session, we’ll explain the gap MCP fills, highlight key use cases, and explore the rapidly growing ecosystem of tools and marketplaces. We’ll demonstrate MCP in action and walk through how an MCP tool is built and deployed.
You’ll leave knowing what MCP is, why it matters, and how it connects systems and data to make AI more effective – and more agentic. And as Spider-Man reminds us, with great power comes great responsibility: we’ll close by looking at the risks and governance challenges.
