DESCRIPTION:AI models are sycophants. Ask one to manage your infrastructure
  and it will confidently invent API responses\, fabricate deployment resul
 ts\, and return whatever answer it thinks you want to hear. It is not lyin
 g\, it is optimized to please\, and it is very good at sounding right even
  when it is shooting darts in the dark.\nThis workshop introduces attendee
 s to the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and demystifies why tool calling cha
 nges the equation. Participants will deploy MCP servers hands-on\, then ex
 perience the before and after firsthand: the same model\, the same prompt\
 , completely different behavior once it has real tools to call instead of 
 blank space to fill.\nAll lab elements run locally. Attendees can use an o
 ptional deployment of Ollama for a fully offline experience or connect API
  keys to the LLM of their choice\, Anthropic\, OpenAI\, or Google Gemini. 
 The github project will be available as a take home to continue learning a
 fter the conference.
