https://cppcon.org --- Connecting C++ Tools to AI Agents Using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) - Ben McMorran - CppCon 2025 --- AI coding agents or assistants are increasingly common across developer workflows. However, these agents are often unaware of key project details like compiler settings or can’t automatically perform actions like building, leading to cumbersome interactions and less accurate results. Technologies such as the Model Context Protocol (MCP) help address these problems by providing an open and standard way for tools to provide context and actions to AI agents. We’ll cover what MCP is, how to use existing MCP servers for popular C++ tools, how to create MCP servers for your own tools, and MCP best practices. --- Slides: https://github.com/CppCon/CppCon2025/blob/main/Presentations/Connecting_Cpp_Tools_to_AI_Agents_Using_the_Model_Context_Protocol.pdf Work at Hudson River Trading (HRT): https://tinyurl.com/safxfctf --- Ben McMorran Ben McMorran studied computer science at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Since graduating, Ben has worked on C++ developer tooling at Microsoft as a Principal Software Engineer with a recent focus on AI-powered developer experiences. --- CppCon is the annual, week-long face-to-face gathering for the entire C++ community. The conference is organized by the C++ community for the community. You will enjoy inspirational talks and a friendly atmosphere designed to help attendees learn from each other, meet interesting people, and generally have a stimulating experience. Taking place this year in Aurora, Colorado, near the Denver airport, and including multiple diverse tracks, the conference will appeal to anyone from C++ novices to experts.
