Building Your First RAG Application by John Capobianco

After a year experimenting with RAG, Raptor Trees, and GraphRAG, Selector’s Head of DevRel, John Capobianco turned his focus to a simpler yet more transformative breakthrough—Model Context Protocol (MCP). MCP standardizes how AI agents communicate, discover, and act across tools and platforms—turning AI from a static model into a dynamic, interoperable system.

In this session, John breaks down how MCP works, why it’s the next major technology inflection point after REST APIs, and how it’s redefining automation, accessibility, and collaboration across cloud, network, and enterprise systems. From voice-driven network queries to agent-to-agent orchestration and ServiceNow ticket creation through Selector AI, this talk makes MCP real—and shows why it’s the backbone of the next era of “vibeOps.”

What You’ll Learn:
MCP Explained: What the Model Context Protocol is, why it matters, and how it compares to RAG.
From APIs to Agents: How MCP enables plug-and-play interoperability across AI tools, workflows, and vendors.
Voice and Vision in Ops: Real examples of multimodal MCP interactions—talking to Selector, generating visual outputs, and automating tasks hands-free.
The Future of “VibeOps”: Why MCP marks the next leap after DevOps and AIOps—empowering humans and agents to collaborate naturally.
