Come Build with MCP, See a Live Demo, and Join Our Hands‑On Workshop at AI Native DevCon

The Obot team is excited to sponsor AI Native DevCon this November! If you’re exploring how to scale AI safely in your org, or you’re building agents and tools with Model Context Protocol (MCP), come by our tabletop to meet the team, see Obot MCP Gateway in action, and join our session and workshop.

Event at a glance

  • Live demo of Obot MCP Gateway: how IT teams centrally onboard, govern, and monitor MCP servers, and how employees discover and use them from their favorite AI clients.
  • Secure, policy-driven access: OAuth 2.1 auth, fine‑grained permissions, audit logging, and request filtering across all MCP traffic.
  • Searchable, role-aware catalog: IT‑verified MCPs with live documentation so users can connect quickly and confidently.
  • Flexible client and hosting options: Connect via Claude Desktop, VS Code, or Obot Chat; manage local, remote, and hosted MCPs from one control plane.

  • Date: November 19, 2025
  • Time: 11:40 AM
  • Location: The Landing (Ground floor)
  • Speaker: Bill Maxwell, Software Architect, Obot AI
  • What you’ll learn: MCP has unleashed a wave of innovation by bridging LLMs with the systems developers rely on every day—docs, databases, issue trackers, and more. Bill will unpack the core protocol primitives—tool calls, sampling, prompts, elicitations, and resources—and the subtle design choices that make or break developer experience. Expect practical examples, like why a well‑implemented MCP server pauses to ask for confirmation before running a destructive action.

  • Date: November 18, 2025
  • Time: 1:05 PM
  • Duration: 2 hours
  • Location: The Landing (lower level)
  • Speaker: Bill Maxwell, Software Architect, Obot AI
  • What you’ll build: An interactive, AI‑powered agent backed by a fully functional Chess MCP server. You’ll code an MCP server, add graphical elements with MCP‑UI, and play against an AI opponent. By the end, your server will:
    • Accept chess moves in algebraic notation
    • Maintain game state across sessions
    • Display the board in ASCII and graphical format
    • Allow AI agents (and users) to play interactive chess games
    • Provide an interactive chessboard UI with drag‑and‑drop moves
  • Prerequisites:

  • For developers: MCP gives you a clean, interoperable way to connect LLMs to tools, data, and workflows. Obot makes those MCP servers easy to find, understand, and use—with live documentation and seamless client connections.
  • For IT and security: Obot is the control plane that brings governance, observability, and compliance to MCP at scale—centralizing access control, hosting/proxying, audit trails, and policy enforcement across the enterprise.

Connect with Us

  • Stop by our tabletop to meet the team and see Obot MCP Gateway in action.
  • Catch Bill’s session to learn how MCP primitives translate into real developer experience.
  • Roll up your sleeves in the workshop and leave with a working Chess MCP server and a deeper understanding of building agents with MCP.
