Fin x Zapier x Cloudflare: Building Connected AI Systems with MCP

​Model Context Protocol (MCP) is reshaping how companies build, connect, and scale AI.

​Join product leaders from Intercom (building Fin.ai), Zapier, and Cloudflare for a deep dive into how MCP is redefining interoperability and control across AI architectures.

​Together, we’ll explore not just how to build with MCP—but why it’s becoming the new standard for flexible, reliable, and extensible AI systems. 

​You’ll walk away with: 

• ​A well-grounded conceptual framework for MCP and how it standardizes context and orchestration across systems.

• ​Real patterns for multi-step, contextual workflows, showing how MCP helps you chain reasoning + action across systems.

• ​Engineering tradeoffs and guardrails: performance, correctness, security, and observability in MCP-enabled systems. 

• ​Platform-agnostic principles of flexibility, speed, and control, how MCP unlocks dynamic integrations, reusable protocols, and tighter governance.
