# :apollo_logo_orange: 👥 [RECAP] AI Agents Meet the Graph: Exploring the Model Context Protocol
**📅 Meetup Date: April 30, 2025**
**🎙 Featured Speaker: [@Dan\_Boerner](https://community.apollographql.com/u/dan_boerner) Apollo Graph Champion**
## THIS WEEK’S TOPIC
AI agents are evolving fast, but how do we give them access to the rich, structured data and capabilities behind GraphQL APIs? Enter the **Model Context Protocol (MCP)**, a new way to connect large language models to APIs.This community-driven conversation touches on what MCP is, how it works, and how you’d like to see it integrate with your Graph.
The team discussed the integration of AI with graph capabilities, focusing on the challenges of connecting LLMs with APIs and the importance of a declarative API approach. We also explored the functionality of the Cloud Desktop, the use of an AI tool, and the process of summarizing data using an AI assistant. Lastly, the meeting covered the challenges of mapping tools to operations, the potential for AI to generate operations, and various organizations’ goals and projects related to Machine Comprehension Protocol (MCP) and AI integration.
