## 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
