AIDD Day: MCP Edition - Garrison Snelling - From The Edge and Back

Got a REST API? Let's make it talk to AI agents—from the edge.

In this talk, we'll show you how to wrap any REST API with the Model Context Protocol and deploy it to Cloudflare Workers for lightning-fast, globally distributed access. We'll take a live REST API, build an MCP server around it, and push it to the edge—all in real-time. You'll learn the key patterns for translating REST conventions into MCP tools and resources, best practices for edge deployment with Cloudflare, and how to handle common challenges like authentication, forwarding, and response streaming. This is a practical, code-heavy session designed to get you building MCP servers from your existing APIs immediately.

🧠 What You'll Learn
• How to wrap any REST API with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to make it accessible to AI agents

• How to deploy MCP servers to Cloudflare Workers, achieving fast, globally distributed access at the edge

• Key implementation patterns and best practices for translating REST endpoints into MCP tools, handling authentication, and managing response streaming

Garrison Snelling, the author of this talk, builds tools devs actually love to use. As founder of ComputeSDK, he's rethinking how compute plugs into apps and AI agents, pushing the edge of what developer platforms can do. Before that, at StackBlitz and LocalStack, he led teams, solved tough cloud challenges, and shared insights that continue to inspire developers and make their work feel lighter, smarter, and more fun.
