# MCP is all you need to make an AI-agent consume your RESTful API


- **Date:** Wednesday, Jul 8, 2026
- **Time:** 13:30–15:30 (120 min)
- **Room:** Room R2 (30 Seats)
- **Event:** World Congress 2026 Europe

## Description

Turn any existing REST API into an AI-native backend—no frontend required. This hands-on session demonstrates how to transform a traditional API into one that works seamlessly with AI agents like GitHub Copilot using Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Starting with a completely AI-unaware REST API, we'll walk through each step of the integration process. You'll see how MCP bridges the gap between your existing backend services and LLM-powered agents, enabling direct AI-to-API communication without building traditional user interfaces.
