The majority of Model Context Protocol (MCP) use right now is directly through end user applications like Claude Desktop or Cursor. However, pretty much any Large language Model, from small open models, to the APIs of the frontier models can be prompted to call tools and retrieve external resources, including those exposed using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Doing this effectively in your projects is key to the development of agentic software.
This talk will explore how different models respond to different types of tool use prompting, along with the benefits and pitfalls prompting to generate tool calls in different data formats. We will look at some real examples of interacting with MCP servers, and at the prompts used by some popular agentic frameworks and tools.
