Building Next-Gen MCP Servers & AI Agents with Amazon Bedrock, Amazon Q Developer & AWS Partner Products

As AI foundation models become increasingly powerful, enterprises face critical challenges in effectively managing context, optimizing model interactions, and maintaining performance at scale. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is revolutionizing AI development by standardizing how applications provide context to Large Language Models (LLMs). Just as USB-C created a universal standard for device connectivity, MCP offers a standardized interface between AI models and diverse data sources and tools. This AWS-sponsored hackathon invites you to not only build innovative MCP server implementations but also to create groundbreaking AI agents and generative AI applications that leverage this standardized protocol.

This AWS Generative AI Hackathon presents a dual challenge:

 Design and implement advanced MCP server architectures that extend the capabilities of the Model Context Protocol, enabling seamless integration between enterprise systems and foundation models.

PART 2: Innovative AI Agents & Applications

 Create intelligent AI agents and generative AI applications that leverage your MCP server to solve real business problems with unprecedented capabilities.

Your comprehensive solution should leverage a powerful ecosystem of technologies:

 to captivate the audience and judges with your innovative solution. Pitch your AI agent’s purpose, capabilities, and transformative impact to win prizes.

We have an incredible list of judges that will be present at the event.
