# Hands-On MCP: Building AI-Connected Tools


- **Date:** Thursday, Jul 10, 2025
- **Time:** 15:45–17:45 (120 min)
- **Room:** M4 (40 Seats)
- **Event:** World Congress 2025

## Description

Dive into the future of AI integration with this workshop on the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Designed for developers eager to enhance AI capabilities, this session offers a practical introduction to MCP’s architecture and its seamless integration with Claude. Through a hands-on project, you’ll build a weather data retrieval tool, empowering Claude to access real-time weather information via a web API.

By the end of this workshop, you’ll have a functional MCP server integrated with Claude, capable of fetching and delivering weather data in real-time. This experience will equip you with the skills to develop AI-connected tools that enhance user interactions and data accessibility.
