​Abstract

​Building financial agent using MCP

This session introduces MCP (Model Context Protocol), a context-driven framework that outperforms traditional APIs by enabling real-time semantic discovery, persistent two-way data flows, with standardized database interactions. We’ll set up an MCP server, deploy a local autonomous financial agent, and demonstrate data ingestion optimization, context-aware tool orchestration, and model invocation-empowering you to build scalable agents that adapt to API changes and cut integration overhead.

​The dark side of the MCP servers

Many people advertise on the amazing use of MCP servers, however, not so many share a code of working MCP-based solutions. Are MCP servers actually something new to the community, who has been using function calling for 2 years (released on June 2023).
