[State of Context Engineering] Agentic RAG, Context Rot, MCP, Subagents — Nina Lopatina, Contextual
- ▶ 14:20 Nina Lopatina I would say, you know, it didn't come out this year, but I think MCP has been a huge driver of context engineering. 8 times in the scene

- ▶ 3:40 Alessio Fanelli Um, I'm curious when the Agenteke Engineering Foundation got formed, or just the Agenteke Foundation, was there any discussion about any of these other protocols being a part of it, or, you know, Sean wrote a post called YMCP one, um,… 5 times in the scene
- ▶ 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

- ▶ 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
- ▶ 58:18 David Soria Parra There might be clients that have like certifications that they are in Amplik and get like, um, a signature that they are like financial services, MCP clients, and they can prove it for the server. 6 times in the scene
- ▶ 1:01:09 Shawn Wang Um, but a lot of people are anxious about joining, MCP joining the Linux foundation. 4 times in the scene
- ▶ 1:04:12 Nick Cooper / Brad Our representative for AAIF as well as a core contributor to NCP. 2 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

- ▶ 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.

- ▶ 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.

- ▶ 6:06 unnamed speaker I don't remember exactly when it was, maybe like approximately a month before release, there was an internal hackathon where some folks really got excited about MCP and started building all sorts of crazy applications. 4 times in the scene
- ▶ 8:02 unnamed speaker So I wanted to go back a little bit, you know, on, on, on some of the things that you mentioned, Justin, uh, which was building MCP on paper, you know, obviously we only see the end result. 6 times in the scene
- ▶ 14:23 unnamed speaker And I had that sense, you know, when I was looking at the MCP docs, I'm like, why do these two things need to be this, the difference in, in other paradigms, they're basically the same. 5 times in the scene
- ▶ 21:24 unnamed speaker And so you can also think of them as like, you know, sort of general purpose transformers, even like if, if you want to support an interaction where a user just like drops a URI in and then you like automatically figure out how to… 4 times in the scene
- ▶ 29:28 unnamed speaker I wanted to, I think we were talking, we're still talking about sort of MCP design and goals and intentions. 9 times in the scene

- ▶ 1:02:15 unnamed speaker Uh, I, I think honestly, this is one of the most contentious topics we've discussed as like the core MCP team and like gone through multiple iterations on and back and forth, but ultimately just came back to this conclusion that like, if… 9 times in the scene
- ▶ 1:11:11 unnamed speaker Even compared to open source work I've done in the past, just the sheer volume of conversation and notifications on MCP stuff is extraordinary, which is great on one hand, but I think we do need to figure out more scalable structures to… 6 times in the scene
