What This Stop Covered
This second London Agentic AI meetup focused on Model Context Protocol and how MCP servers unlock new ways to connect tools, data and workflows to AI agents. The event covered practical MCP server development and the messy edge of fast-moving client and spec support.
The technical discussion moved from hands-on MCP server design to enterprise controls such as approvals, quotas, audit and policy for multi-tenant agent systems.
