Tech Talk: Accelerating AI Agent Development with MCP ADK
Speaker: Rabimba Karanjai (Google Developer Expert)
Abstract: In this session, we will dive into the future of AI-powered databases with Google's MCP Toolbox, now integrating the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and enhanced through the Action Development Kit (ADK). MCP enables unified, secure, and efficient interactions between AI agents and databases.
? ADK Advantage: Simplify AI agent development with the Action Development Kit’s intuitive tooling, reducing deployment time and complexity.
⚡ Unified Interoperability: How MCP and ADK standardize AI tool integration, eliminating custom connectors.
?️ Hands-on Demos: Seamlessly connect AI agents via standard I/O and HTTP, and learn to rapidly build, inspect, and deploy database interactions with ADK.
? Security First: Best practices for secure, authenticated interactions across databases.
? Real-World Impact: Case studies on how the MCP Toolbox and ADK revolutionize agentic workflows with Vertex AI, Neo4j, BigQuery, and cloud-native solutions.

Tech Talk: Getting AI Agents to work right
Speaker: Chris Latimer (Vectorize)
Abstract: In this session, I'll discuss how I built an AI agent to automate customer support and tips for making agents perform reliably.
