Discover why Microsoft is all-in on MCP and how it's accelerating developer productivity across VS Code, GitHub Copilot, Azure AI Foundry, and Windows. This keynote features lightning demos showcasing real-world MCP implementations. Whether you're a developer, tool builder, or AI enthusiast, this session sets the stage for two days of hands-on learning about the protocol that's defining the next generation of intelligent applications. | James Montemagno, Jay Parikh, Linda Li, Burke Holland, Donald Thompson | | 9:30am PST | MCP Power-User Mode: Revealing Every MCP Feature in VS Code | Think you’ve seen what Model Context Protocol can do inside Visual Studio Code? Think again. In this rapid-fire tour, we’ll flip every switch and surface every hidden gem. Expect zero slides and maximum keyboard: a full-throttle demo that leaves you with the shortcuts, settings, and insider tips to make VS Code the ultimate MCP-powered workbench. | Harald Kirschner | | 10:00am PST | Discoverability Unlocked: Publishing and Finding servers in the MCP Community Registry | Lets take a sneak peak into the open-source MCP community registry. A publish once, consume anywhere project for Model Context Protocol servers being developed by the MCP steering committee. In this 30 minute session we'll talk to the project leaders and unpack how server authors can publish their servers and how different registries and marketplaces can stay up to date with the latest MCP servers. | Toby Padilla, Tadas Antanavicius | | 10:30am PST | Chat With the Web: Inside NLWeb’s Journey to a Conversational Internet | What if every website could talk back—understanding a visitor’s plain-English question and answering with the exact insight (or next action) they need? In this fireside conversation, Ramanathan Guha— web-standards pioneer (RSS, Schema.org) and the creator of NLWeb—joins core engineers from the project to explain how Microsoft’s new open initiative is turning that vision into reality and how MCP falls into the big picture. | Ramanathan Guha, Jennifer Marsman, Chelsea Carter, James Montemagno | | 11:00am PST | The Future of User Interaction | We are entering a new era of user interaction. It's being built right before our very eyes and changing rapidly. As crazy as it sounds, soon each one of us will get our own Jarvis capable of performing actually useful tasks for us with a completely different user interaction mechanism than we're used to.But someone's gotta give Jarvis the tools to perform these tasks, and that's where we come in.In this talk, Kent will show how this AI assistant user interaction model is shaping out to be, help us catch the vision of what this future could look like, and our role in it. | Kent C. Dodds | | 11:30am PST | MCP Gets OAuth: Understanding the New Authorization Specification | The Model Context Protocol now fully embraces OAuth 2.1 conventions, bringing mature authorization patterns to AI agent ecosystems. Rather than inventing new auth mechanisms, MCP adopted proven OAuth flows, dynamic client registration, as well as the brand-new Protected Resource Metadata conventions. This session explores how the new spec significantly simplifies the developer experience for both MCP client and server implementers, as well as gives developers more flexibility around integration with existing authorization servers. | Den Delimarsky, Aaron Parecki | | 12:00pm PST | MCP Workflow: I stopped using SQL for database management | Let's learn how to create and update database schemas using just prompts with GitHub Copilot in VS Code. You will see an example of using GibsonAI MCP together with GitHub MCP Servers to create GitHub pull requests with auto-generated model classes in any programming language. | Bobur Umorzokov | | 12:30am PST | Boost your productivity with Visual Studio & MCP Servers | Visual Studio now speaks MCP. In this fast-paced session you’ll learn how the IDE’s new Model Context Protocol tooling turns agent-ready APIs into a first-class experience | Allie Barry |

Join us for MCP Dev Days, a two-day virtual event exploring the growing ecosystem around the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a standard that bridges AI models and the tools they rely on. Day 2 is for builders. We’ll go deep on implementation. From building MCP Servers and integrating them into your agent experiences, to prompt-driven development, and security best practices. Learn how to use building blocks like Functions, ACA, API Management, and more to build scalable and secure servers. Whether you're a developer, tool builder, or AI product strategist, MCP Dev Days gives you the insights and tools to build with confidence. Agenda | Time | Title | Abstract | Speaker | | ----------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------- | | 9:00am PST | Day 2 Keynote: From Concept to Code | Day 2 shifts into high gear for builders. This keynote sets the stage for a deep dive into MCP implementation, showcasing how to move from proof-of-concept to production-ready MCP servers. Learn the essential building blocks—Azure Functions, API Management, and security best practices—that power scalable MCP solutions. We'll demonstrate prompt-driven development workflows, explore real-world architectures, and reveal how leading organizations are already shipping MCP-powered features. Whether you're building for the enterprise or the edge, this session provides the blueprint for creating secure, scalable MCP servers that transform AI agents from demos into deployed solutions. Get ready to build. | Marc Baiza, Katie Savage, Julia Kasper, Matthew Henderson | | 9:30am PST | Vibe Code your first MCP server with GitHub Copilot | The best way to learn is to do!

Walk away with a clear blueprint to launch your own remote MCP server before the day is done. | Toby Padilla, Joe Zhou | | 11:00am PST | MCP In Production: Building Secure and Agent-Ready Model Context Protocol Servers | The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is rapidly becoming the backbone for AI -based systems that need access to external data, but with great power comes great responsibility, especially when securing server implementations. In this conversation with Nate and Wils, founding engineers at Arcade.dev, we’ll explore advanced security patterns for MCP servers, from OAuth 2.1 flows and token validation to defending against confused deputy attacks, session hijacking, and token passthrough vulnerabilities. We’ll also highlight how all of this accrues to the emerging agentic space, where the interactions are no longer constrained to humans in the loop. | Den Delimarsky, Nate Barbettini, Wils Dawson | | 11:30am PST | Building your own MCP registry with API Center and API Management | This session explores the evolving landscape of API Management with remote MCP servers. We'll detail the latest capabilities offered in API Management for exposing and managing these remote servers. Furthermore, discover how to construct your own MCP registry, enabling your developer or agents to leverage a centralized source for MCP server discovery. The session will highlight Azure API Center's role as a private MCP registry, covering its features and current offerings for comprehensive API governance and discovery in this new paradigm. | Julia Kasper, Anish Tallapureddy | | 12:00pm PST | Agents Talking to Agents: Harnessing MCP for Seamless Inter-Agent Collaboration | When two AI agents need to coordinate—share context, delegate subtasks, or merge results—the Model Context Protocol can act as their universal handshake. In this lightning session we’ll show how MCP’s schema, tool catalog, and registry let agents treat each other as remote servers, exchanging capabilities without bespoke glue code. | Adam Kaplan, Victor Dibia | | 12:30pm PST | Unlocking your Agents potential with Model Context Protocol | Learn how to build an Azure AI Foundry Agent that leverages MCP. In this session we will be using the Foundry Agents Service to build a sales data analytics agent and unlock its capabilities with Model Context Protocol. | Dave Glover |
