How I automated my life with MCP Servers

Being a developer these days means you’re not only writing code, but also a Linux admin, a DevOps engineer, you name it! Thankfully, the Model Context Protocol (MCP) has made it significantly easier for me to ask my natural language questions, such as “What’s consuming the most memory in our dev cluster right now?”, and quickly receive a response. Hint: It was Prometheus!

What you’ll learn in this session is a straightforward way to build your own local “AI Agent” using open source technologies to interact with various API’s and tools. We’ll take a look at the most common MCP Servers that developers are using today, think Git, Databases, Dev Tools, and more. Plus, we’ll have some fun, and chain multiple tools together to automate your daily standup!
