Building AI Agents with Spring & MCP
AI is here, but is it working for you? The name of the game is to give these AI models access to our enterprise systems and services and let ‘er rip! But it’s not always easy. We have a friend whose stress level trying to build production-worthy Python AI services was so high that his hairline receded TWELVE INCHES! Or that might have just been natural aging… Either way: he should’ve used Spring AI! Join me and my trusty sidekick and Spring developer advocate Josh Long, and we’ll look at how to build MCP-enabled, RAG-ready, vibe-free, agentic systems and services in no time at all.
