In this episode, I discuss the Model Context Protocol (MCP) with John Capobianco, exploring its implications for AI integration and network observability. Think of MCP as the USB of AI Integration.

We delve into the concept of vibe coding, the practical applications of MCP in networking, and the future of technology with this new protocol. The conversation highlights the potential for innovation, and the transformative impact of MCP on pretty much any aspect of day-to-day life. We get into MCP repositories, live examples of how MCP is used, how to get started with MCP, some security concerns and, of course, what we can expect in the future.

I had a great time both speaking with and learning from John, as always. This stuff is cool.
