Build an agent with MCP + Mastra ft. Matt Pocock

​This week we'll be joined by a special guest: Typescript educator Matt Pocock, who will be learning to build and deploy an agent with Mastra live with us!

2025 might be the year of AI agents but this session is your chance to actually build and deploy an agent — and to do it live with Mastra.ai co-founder Shane Thomas and Matt Pocock, one of the leading TS/JS dev educators.

​AI agents are autonomous systems that can perceive their environments, make decisions, and independently take actions to achieve specific goals. With today’s tools and frameworks, it’s never been easier to build them, and we will show you how to do it in less than an hour.

​Use agents to build things like a personalized travel agent that puts together vacations for you. Or use multiple-agents to simulate a ‘team’ of writers and editors that seamlessly collaborate on content.

​This event is open to all devs and aspiring AI engineers, regardless of background, so feel free to share the invite link. It’s recommended that you have a code editor and node v20+ installed prior to the session. You should be comfortable with basic JavaScript and the command line.

This isn’t a talk; it’s a live workshop where you’ll walk away having built and deployed your first AI agent.
