## Description

This talk explores the shift from writing software to operating it through conversation, in which the Model Context Protocol enables an agent to drive real infrastructure APIs through natural language. Using Runpod's MCP servers connected to an AI agent like Claude Code or Cursor, the audience will experience infrastructure-by-conversation in action and you will see me listing running pods, spinning up a GPU training pod, standing up an autoscaling serverless endpoint, and shutting it all down just by typing what they want, and learn about the opportunities and challenges that exist in this new paradigm, as well as how they might impact developer communities like this one.
