What happens when an open protocol becomes the center of the AI world overnight?
This mini-documentary captures the story behind MCP Night: Holiday Edition — a San Francisco tech event that felt more like a concert than a meetup. Featuring the creators of the Model Context Protocol (MCP), this film explores how a small open source project became one of the most important emerging standards in AI.
From packed lines around the block to candid reflections from the engineers behind MCP, this is a look at the people, pressure, and momentum driving the future of AI tooling.
Featuring:
* The rise of Model Context Protocol (MCP)
* Behind-the-scenes production at MCP Night
* The future of AI interoperability and workflows
* Open source, developer tools, and AI infrastructure
* Interviews with the team and community building MCP
MCP is rapidly becoming a foundational layer for connecting AI models to tools, workflows, and applications — and this event captured a moment where the industry realized it in real time.
If you’re interested in AI engineering, developer tools, open standards, Anthropic, LLM infrastructure, or the future of agent workflows, this one’s for you.
Chapters:
00:00 The line outside
00:37 A tech conference at concert scale
01:42 Building MCP
03:05 “The new W3C”
