Understand the Model Context Protocol specification

Learn what's in the 2025-11-25 spec release and how MCP enables AI agents to safely access your API tools and data.

Publish your first MCP server in minutes

Follow along as we build and publish a working MCP server that lets LLMs and agents discover and "see" your APIs.

Connect and test MCP servers with agents

Connect your MCP server to Claude and other tools that help you test and debug it.

Understand security risks when exposing APIs to AI

Learn common security pitfalls and basic precautions to consider when connecting agents to your systems.

Why this topic matters

AI agents need access to your APIs and data. Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the open standard that makes this possible, and it just turned one year old. Learn why major companies are adopting MCP, understand the latest spec updates, and publish your first working server. Whether you're building agents or evaluating MCP for your team, this session gives you what you need to start.

Founder, Level 250 | 3x VP, API Products

I’m Emmanuel, an entrepreneur, product management executive, and consultant at Level 250 with over 15 years of experience shaping API products.

I’ve led large API programs in fintech for Verisk, Moody’s, and Precisely, and served as VP of Product for some of the world’s most influential API tools—like API Blueprint at Apiary (550,000+ APIs), Oracle’s first Cloud-Native API Gateway, and Swagger at SmartBear (750,000+ APIs).

Over the years, I’ve consulted with everyone from Fortune 500 CEOs to startup founders, engaging with thousands of API providers and consumers to help them build winning products and exceptional developer experiences.

My passion is to make APIs more impactful and developer-friendly, which is why I created Build AI-Ready APIs: A Hands-On Workshop for Engineers and PMs: to share my lessons learned and help Product Managers fast-track their careers.

Join me to gain practical insights, avoid common pitfalls, and learn how to deliver API Products that enable great user experiences—without repeating the mistakes I’ve already made along the way.
