Let's make an MCP Server!
MCP servers are fundamentally tool-providers to our Agentic Gen AI tools and provide a robust vendor-agnostic solution to building and sharing custom tooling to the overall Open Source community.
And making one is not as hard as some might think. Today we'll explore making an MCP server and hosting it both locally and in GCP. We'll cover usage patterns and wrap with costs and next steps.
This talk will take us through every step from ideation, to initial hello world creation, through to a full solution buildout. We'll explore streamable HTTP vs STDIO and implement both NPX and container driven solutions. Lastly, we'll cover hosting as a serverless function in GCP as well as a self-managed option in a local Kubernetes.
