In this episode, host João Tomé is joined by Cloudflare Product Managers Nevi Shah and Dina Kozlov to go into the world of MCP (Model Context Protocol), and why it’s gaining traction fast.
We explore what MCP is, why it matters now, and how developers can easily spin up their own MCP servers on Cloudflare. The episode includes live demos, practical use cases, and a look at how companies like Stripe, PayPal, and Anthropic are getting involved.
We also cover the latest from the AI and agent ecosystem, including announcements from Microsoft Build, Google I/O, OpenAI’s new responses API, and Anthropic’s growing MCP support.
To wrap things up, Nevi and Dina answer a round of fast questions:
- What’s the biggest technical challenge with MCP today?
- Best surprise you’ve seen from a developer?
- Favorite new server or integration?
- And: Why should people try MCP right now?
We also highlight recent posts on the Cloudflare blog.
