AI innovation accelerator

[Brandon Rich <>]

Hello all,

Hope you're enjoying the summer.  The Innovation Accelerator series will pick up again on August 14 at 3pm EST with a discussion on Model Context Protocol, or MCP.  This Anthropic-proposed spec is gaining in popularity as a way to standardize LLM communication with external systems, allowing AI models to control tools as diverse as web browsers, 3D modeling programs, and python libraries.  Not only that, the protocol makes it easy to wire up your own systems to do the same.

If you have any experiences with MCP that you'd be up for sharing during a discussion, please respond to this email!  Not looking for presentations or slides -- just a willingness to chime in about what you've tried.

Thanks,

Brandon Rich
