Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables seamless integration between LLM based applications and agents with external systems, thus allowing us to dynamically enhance the model/agent that acts as a client, with capabilities provided by connected MCP servers.
The Quarkus project created one of the first MCP implementations in Java. Quarkus provides an ideal runtime for coding intelligent applications and agents that use the MCP protocol to call out to external MCP servers, or conversely, let you implement powerful MCP servers that can be invoked by any compliant LLM based application written in any programming language.
Whether you want to connect to your favorite database, integrate with your company’s systems, or build something completely new, everything is possible! Quarkus will handle all the MCP plumbing and through its hundreds of extensions will help you implement any simple or complex enterprise integration scenario that can enhance your intelligent workflows.
Come to this talk to learn how MCP works and how to use it effectively with Quarkus.

There always comes a point where software becomes so complex and old that it becomes unmaintainable. Updating the technical stack without breaking everything becomes impossible, implementing new features takes longer, and the technical debt is so overwhelming that refactoring becomes exorbitant.
What if we told you that all of this is more of a practice problem than a software aging problem?
Come and discover through hands-on experience in this 100% live coding session how Hexagonal Architecture can tackle software complexity, making it possible for you to be adaptable and sustainable while helping you manage your technical debt more effectively.")
