​MCP Connect Day is a full-day conference for developers, practitioners, researchers, and enthusiasts working with or looking to learn about the Model Context Protocol, ChatGPT Apps and AI agents more broadly.

​We aim to explore this new usage and acquisition channel from a practical standpoint. Join us for talks about best practices, new tools, and real-world use cases for building MCP servers, MCP & ChatGPT apps, and integrating them into agentic workflows.

​Whether you're building for internal use cases, or exploring how agents connect to your products, MCP Connect Day is the place to exchange ideas, learn, and help shape the future of AI-native workflows.
