Explore the emerging agentic economy built on Model Context Protocol (MCP) foundations in this 18-minute conference talk. Discover how MCP and server directories enable agents to autonomously find new tools and other agents, establishing the groundwork for future business-to-agent (B2A) and agent-to-agent (A2A) commerce models. Learn about the current gap in agent autonomy regarding service subscriptions and payments, and see how MCP server nesting capabilities can provide solutions for agents to discover and pay for external MCP-enabled services independently. Examine monetization strategies for AI agents and understand the evolving B2A/A2A business landscape. The presentation includes a practical demonstration of Apify's MCP integration, showing real-world implementation of these concepts. Gain insights into the technical challenges of agent autonomy, practical solutions for enabling agent-driven commerce, and the future outlook for autonomous agent ecosystems in the digital economy.
