MCP Agents Hackathon: Building the Future of AI at Founders Garage
🤖 The Mission: Pioneer the Future of MCP Agents
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is revolutionizing how AI agents interact with the world. We're bringing together the brightest builders to push the boundaries of what's possible with MCP-driven agents in a single day of intense innovation.
📍 Venue: Jeff Lawson's Founders Garage
Build alongside fellow innovators at Founders Garage - a space designed for breakthrough moments. You'll have access to mentors from the Cohort 2 community and BVP network who understand what it takes to scale revolutionary technology.
🏆 Recognition & Prizes
Grand Prize: strategy session with Jeff Lawson - get direct feedback on your agent vision from someone who's built game-changing developer tools
Runner-up: mentorship session with a Bessemer Ventures partner - discuss scaling your MCP innovations
🚀 What We're Looking For
We want to see groundbreaking MCP agent implementations that:
Connect AI to real-world systems in novel ways
Solve actual problems with elegant agent architectures
Demonstrate the untapped potential of context-aware AI
Show us what the future of human-AI collaboration looks like
Example Areas:
Autonomous workflow agents that chain multiple tools
Context-aware assistants that truly understand user needs
Multi-agent systems that collaborate intelligently
Enterprise agents that transform business processes
Creative agents that push beyond current limitations
💡 Why MCP Matters
MCP enables AI assistants to:
Access and manipulate external data sources
Execute complex, multi-step workflows
Maintain context across diverse systems
Build truly useful, production-ready applications
This hackathon is about discovering who's building the agents that will define the next decade of AI.
