Building your first MCP server with a local database

At WebTech Days AI Edition, I led, together with Cláudio Augusto Novaes Gontijo, a workshop on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), one of the technologies that has gained the most ground in the artificial intelligence ecosystem.

During the workshop, we built with the participants an MCP server connected to a local database, showing in practice how to connect AI applications to your own data and create solutions that answer questions from structured information.

Main topics covered:

• Model Context Protocol concepts and architecture
• Building an MCP server
• Integration with a local database
• Integration with language models
