Extending AI with Custom Tools: MCP Demo

Model Context Protocol (MCP) - Bridge between AI and your tools

What is MCP?

• Open protocol for connecting AI assistants to external data/tools
• Enables AI to execute custom functions in your environment
• Works with GitHub Copilot Chat

Live Demo: Process Monitor

• Custom MCP server exposing system process information
• AI can now answer questions about running processes
• No internet required - runs entirely local

Example Capabilities:

1. "How many processes are currently running?"
   • Uses get_process_count tool
2. "Show me the top 5 CPU consuming processes"
   • Uses get_top_cpu_processes tool
3. "What are the most memory-intensive processes?"
   • Uses get_top_memory_processes tool
4. "Which processes have multiple instances running?"
   • Uses get_process_instances tool
5. "Find all node processes"
   • Uses find_process_by_name tool with "node"
6. "What's consuming the most resources on my system?"
   • AI will intelligently combine multiple tools
