MCP Mashups: How AI Agents are Reviving the Programmable Web
#1about 4 minutes
Remembering the creative API mashup era of the 2000s
Early developers combined services like Google Maps and Craigslist to create novel applications, sparking the API economy.
#2about 1 minute
Why the original mashup era couldn't last
Mashups declined due to the high maintenance burden of changing APIs and the lack of long-term commitment for side projects.
#3about 2 minutes
How MCP enables modern AI agent mashups
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that acts as a universal adapter for AI agents to interact with various APIs and tools.
#4about 2 minutes
Exploring the open and rapidly growing MCP ecosystem
MCP's open-source nature has led to a massive, community-driven ecosystem of servers and SDKs in languages like TypeScript, Python, and Rust.

Demo of an AI agent creating a restaurant map
An AI agent uses a natural language prompt to combine Google Maps and developer tools to build an interactive restaurant map in seconds.
#6about 1 minute
Demo of an AI agent converting Figma to code
An AI agent uses MCPs for Figma and developer tools to automatically generate a functional website from a design file.
#7about 2 minutes
Demo of an AI agent automating project setup
An AI agent automates the entire setup for a complex project by reading instructions, cloning repos, installing dependencies, and configuring containers.
#8about 2 minutes
Understanding the basic structure of an MCP server
An MCP server is built by defining tools with clear names, descriptive purposes, parameters, and an execution body using an SDK.
#9about 3 minutes
How AI agents use the agentic loop for tasks
The agentic loop is the process where an agent interprets a prompt, selects the best tools via an LLM, executes them, and repeats until the task is complete.
#10about 2 minutes
How to find and evaluate MCP servers safely
Developers can use community directories like Glam AI and Post MCP to discover new MCPs and check their quality and security via report cards.
#11about 2 minutes
Announcing community-driven development for the Goose AI agent
The Goose AI agent is now supported by an independent team and a grant program to foster open-source community contributions.
