Learn how to integrate C++ development tools with AI coding agents through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) in this 30-minute conference talk from CppCon 2025. Discover how MCP addresses common challenges where AI agents lack awareness of crucial project details like compiler settings or cannot automatically perform actions such as building code, which often leads to inefficient interactions and reduced accuracy. Explore the fundamentals of MCP as an open standard for enabling tools to provide context and actions to AI agents, examine how to utilize existing MCP servers for popular C++ tools, and master the process of creating custom MCP servers for your own development tools. Gain insights into MCP best practices from Ben McMorran, a Principal Software Engineer at Microsoft who specializes in C++ developer tooling and AI-powered developer experiences, as he demonstrates practical approaches to streamlining AI-assisted C++ development workflows.
