The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the open standard for connecting AI models to tools and data. This half-day event covers MCP end to end: its role as an open standard, how it's adopted across the developer ecosystem, and hands-on sessions on building MCP servers. It also addresses enterprise readiness including authentication, governance, and security.

An Aspire-ified app gives your coding agent far more context and control. Maddy Montaquila shows how one command starts every container, process, and debugger, and how the agent can stop and start individual resources and read all the logs in one place. Run aspire agent init and Aspire drops in skills for OpenTelemetry profiling, custom resource commands, and deployment.

Agent workflows change constantly, so what's actually worth learning? Kent C. Dodds argues the durable skill is product engineering — knowing what the user actually needs, developing problem clarity, and owning a feature end to end instead of turning tickets into implementations.

John Maeda on what's genuinely new: define a goal, define how you evaluate your proximity to that goal, and let the system hill climb toward it in a loop. Something we thought was possible ten years ago now actually works, because tokens are cheaper and more powerful. Compounding improvement systems — this is the way.

https://aka.ms/foundry-portal https://aka.ms/InsideMicrosoftFoundryPlaylist What if turning a model into a reusable AI agent required only a few lines of Python? In this session, you'll use the Microsoft Foundry SDK to create a prompt agent, pairing your deployed model with instructions that define how it behaves. You’ll start a multi-turn conversation and see how the agent maintains context. By the end, a simple model deployment will have become an agent you can continue building on. 0:00 - Build a Cupcake-Ordering Agent 0:36 - Set Up Microsoft Foundry 1:41 - Create and Test the Agent 2:32 - Add Instructions and MCP Tools 3:20 - Complete a Cupcake Order 4:27 - Recap and Key Takeaways
