Tim Berglund is back at the lightboard with MCP (Model Context Protocol). MCP really is a big deal, but most people are missing the point. It's not just about enhancing desktop applications with agentic functionality—it's about exposing reusable tools and resources (including real-time data from sources like Apache Kafka) to build agentic microservices. Doing this takes us beyond basic LLM chatbots to dynamic, problem-solving systems that deliver real value in real professional settings.
