- ▶ 17:03 Cole Murray Whether through CLI, MCPs, other tools, you can then hook that into your production systems, primarily for like SRE type use cases, but you are not necessarily like trying to test your prod internal microservice through the system.
- ▶ 28:18 Walden Yan The thing we found is, so like MCPs, um, obviously it has been like, it's like really big explosion of, oh, you can go like integrate it with all these different things. 8 times in the scene
- ▶ 39:45 Walden Yan We've actually given Devon an MCP so they can just go arbitrarily message other Devons and create new Devons, et cetera.

- ▶ 41:11 Shawn Wang Talking about integrations, you prompted me, so I got to ask MCP, CLI, what's going on? 8 times in the scene
- ▶ 43:50 Sarah Sachs So we will always support our MCP insofar as other people are using MCPs, right? 5 times in the scene
- ▶ 49:04 Simon Last So, so we have like a tool integration abstraction, for example, and then MCP is like a type of integration.

⚡️Monty: the ultrafast Python interpreter by Agents for Agents — Samuel Colvin, Pydantic
- ▶ 1:55 Samuel Colvin I don't think we've done anything particularly special in our MCP server, but because the AI can just go write SQL, it's way more powerful than I think on many platforms.
- ▶ 3:42 Samuel Colvin Uh, using code to call MCP servers.
- ▶ 29:50 Samuel Colvin So basically you can define an agent entirely in a TOML file, everything from the model to the system prompt to all of the capabilities, whether they be code mode or compaction or registering an MCP server. 3 times in the scene

Artificial Analysis: The Independent LLM Analysis House — with George Cameron and Micah Hill-Smith
- ▶ 47:48 Micah Hill-Smith Based on it, the things that, like, I find most impressive currently that I am somewhat surprised work really well in late 25 are that I can have models use Superbase MCP to read only, of course, run a whole bunch of SQL queries to do…
[State of Context Engineering] Agentic RAG, Context Rot, MCP, Subagents — Nina Lopatina, Contextual

- ▶ 6:43 Shawn Wang Uh, so we're going to meet some of the others later, but maybe we'll just focus back on the sort of MCP development. 8 times in the scene
- ▶ 12:27 David Soria Parra MCP should also enable agents, and agents are inherently somewhat stateful, and there's some form of, like, long-term communication going between, like, the client and the server, and so we always looked for something like that. 3 times in the scene
- ▶ 18:02 David Soria Parra And so that's why we run MCP as like a really traditional open source, um, project with like a core maintainer group of like eight people that basically decide everything. 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 19:07 David Soria Parra We're making use of things like the MCP Atlas that we are like having in our model card of like making sure that like we were taking this large set of tools in the wild and make sure that our models work with that. 9 times in the scene
- ▶ 23:36 Shawn Wang Well, I think a lot of people are trying to place MCP versus skills. 6 times in the scene
- ▶ 27:00 Shawn Wang Actually, I think nobody understands, uh, enough how much anthropic dog foods MCP. 17 times in the scene
- ▶ 37:23 David Soria Parra These were things that were, that I did not know before, and I learned a lot about, like, okay, what does, like, a thing like an MCP, like a communication layer, need to look like if you have these, like, constraints that in a normal,… 4 times in the scene
- ▶ 39:28 David Soria Parra Like we, I think one thing I learned from sampling, like everyone wants to use tools with sampling in tools that are not exposed via the MCP server. 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 49:47 David Soria Parra And I think MCP I always see is like back to like, it's an application layer protocol.
- ▶ 50:12 Alessio Fanelli Around MCPs, another question I had is like, how do you see them as being used by developers to build AI apps versus being a protocol for AI consumers to plug? 6 times in the scene
- ▶ 52:28 Alessio Fanelli I'm curious about the MCP apps UI with what you're talking about, where it's like every client, like ChatGPT has their own, right? 9 times in the scene

- ▶ 1:05:16 David Soria Parra The first one is that on the MCP side, we always knew that we wanted to find a neutral home for MCP to make sure that the, uh, that the industry understands that this is, uh, stays open, that this is something safe to adopt. 4 times in the scene
- ▶ 1:07:35 Alessio Fanelli Is it, it's almost like it's an MCP so early that like, how do you even structure it in a way? 4 times in the scene
- ▶ 1:12:02 Nick Cooper / Brad Uh, for MCP, MCP apps that is brand new 8 times in the scene
- ▶ 1:23:01 Nick Cooper / Brad At the same time, it then gets to learn the lessons that all the other participants in the foundation do, and like, I found it really valuable over this past year, working with David and others on the MCP committee, about like, it's…
- ▶ 1:34:27 Jim Zemlin Like, just day one, so much momentum around MCP.
- ▶ 1:37:38 Nick Cooper / Brad So I think that MCP is starting to like approach that answer 2 times in the scene

Terminal-Bench: Pushing Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Factory Droid, et al to the limits
- ▶ 12:40 Mike Merrill Most people are using cloud code right now for software engineering, but as Alex mentioned, you can jack it into an MCP and get to do all kinds of things on your computer.
- ▶ 14:54 Alex Shaw Um, in that sense, I think it's a useful benchmark no matter where the agents actually get, like, distributed to the users, and that is a change that Mike mentioned earlier we had to make, is originally the way we formulated it, we wanted… 2 times in the scene

- ▶ 11:53 Christina Huang It's similar to kind of what you'd see for MCP tools of, you know, approving that an action can take place, um, but I think what we've seen with much more complex workflows from our users is that it's actually quite advanced, like, human… 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 26:38 Alessio Fanelli Um, how do you think about the MCP side? 5 times in the scene
- ▶ 28:55 Alessio Fanelli When I saw about three, four months ago, when you launched the forum for like signing with chat GPT interest, I think to me, that's kind of like the vision where I log in and I have the MCPs tied in
- ▶ 37:24 Alessio Fanelli And then what's like the MCP versus widget forest?
Taste is your Moat (Dylan Field of Figma)

- ▶ 21:57 Dylan Field Around how do you basically use not just what's in Figma design as a source of truth, but also the tool calls that made via MCP and when they were made to understand what is the context that's changed, uh, since I last made a call.
- ▶ 27:57 Alessio Fanelli I have the NCP.
⚡️Claude Sonnet 4.5 and Anthropic's roadmap for Agents and Developers — Mike Krieger, Anthropic

- ▶ 1:23 Alessio Fanelli And you started this company before the MCP spec came out. 14 times in the scene
- ▶ 6:11 Soham Ganatra So I think like NCP, by the way, uh, so one of the really cool things that it ended up doing was it ended up sort of, uh, creating a very simple way to sort of integrate with universal science. 2 times in the scene
- ▶ 9:11 Alessio Fanelli I think there's a lot of people launching MCP servers, like you said,
- ▶ 14:37 Soham Ganatra And the reason sort of MCP helps here is because if you know, MCP allows you to do dynamic tool sort of like exposure, which means essentially like based on the query, I can decide what tools to expose and how to go about it. 7 times in the scene
- ▶ 16:19 Alessio Fanelli I was gonna say the other thing at the engineer world's fair and the MCP track was, uh, sampling, which was pretty new. 4 times in the scene

- ▶ 12:17 Alessio Fanelli Is this something that has been recent for you, where, like, you're seeing more and more people use the MCP servers especially to do less technical thing, and that's an interesting area, or do you feel like programming is still, like, the…
- ▶ 12:51 Saoud (Saud) Rizwan What we've seen is while yes, like MC, the MCP ecosystem is growing and a lot of people are using for things outside of programming, the majority use case is mostly developer work. 7 times in the scene
- ▶ 16:16 Saoud (Saud) Rizwan A fundraiser with MCP, I think. 27 times in the scene
- ▶ 1:01:26 Shawn Wang And, and I go, you know, I think interplay between MCP and your system client, you know, recommended prompts, I think is what is ultimately making a good agent.
⚡️Warp 2.0: the Agentic Development Environment - Zach Lloyd and Ben Holmes
- ▶ 5:39 Zach Lloyd Now, you can kind of, like, MCP hook them up and, like, do stuff through MCP with them, but the command line is really an interface that's built for doing, and so when you give
- ▶ 9:39 Zach Lloyd So one is it's it, we now have full MCP support. 4 times in the scene
