Visual Studio now speaks MCP. In this fast-paced session you’ll learn how the IDE’s new Model Context Protocol tooling turns agent-ready APIs into a first-class experience

The Model Context Protocol now fully embraces OAuth 2.1 conventions, bringing mature authorization patterns to AI agent ecosystems. Rather than inventing new auth mechanisms, MCP adopted proven OAuth flows, dynamic client registration, as well as the brand-new Protected Resource Metadata conventions. This session explores how the new spec significantly simplifies the developer experience for both MCP client and server implementers, as well as gives developers more flexibility around integration with existing authorization servers.

We are entering a new era of user interaction. It's being built right before our very eyes and changing rapidly. As crazy as it sounds, soon each one of us will get our own Jarvis capable of performing actually useful tasks for us with a completely different user interaction mechanism than we're used to. But someone's gotta give Jarvis the tools to perform these tasks, and that's where we come in In this talk, Kent will show how this AI assistant user interaction model is shaping out to be, help us catch the vision of what this future could look like, and our role in it.

What if every website could talk back—understanding a visitor’s plain-English question and answering with the exact insight (or next action) they need? In this fireside conversation, Ramanathan Guha— web-standards pioneer (RSS, Schema.org) and the creator of NLWeb—joins core engineers from the project to explain how Microsoft’s new open initiative is turning that vision into reality and how MCP falls into the big picture.

Lets take a sneak peak into the open-source MCP community registry. A publish once, consume anywhere project for Model Context Protocol servers being developed by the MCP steering committee. In this 30 minute session we'll talk to the project leaders and unpack how server authors can publish their servers and how different registries and marketplaces can stay up to date with the latest MCP servers.
