Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we explore the next frontier of enterprise AI: intelligent agents empowered by the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Based on a strategic briefing from Boston Consulting Group, we trace the evolution of AI agents from simple chatbots to autonomous systems capable of planning, tool use, memory, and complex collaboration.
We dive deep into MCP, the open-source standard that's fast becoming the connective tissue of enterprise AI—enabling agents to securely access tools, query databases, and coordinate actions across environments. From real-world examples in coding and compliance to emerging security challenges and orchestration strategies, this episode lays out how companies can build secure, scalable agent systems. Whether you're deploying your first AI agent or managing an ecosystem of them, this episode maps the architecture, risks, and best practices you need to know.
