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.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
