10 Cities. 4 Countries. One Unexpected MCP Lesson.
About this episode
Ben Morss discusses his experiences teaching developers about MCP across multiple cities and countries, addressing misconceptions and exploring various aspects of MCP technology.
In this episode, we're joined by Ben Morss , Developer Advocate at DeepL , who spent months traveling across North America and Europe teaching developers about MCP, building MCP servers, and helping teams understand how AI agents actually use tools. We dive into the biggest misconceptions around MCP, why so many developers still misunderstand how it works, and what Ben learned after giving talks and workshops in 10 cities across four countries. Along the way, we explore MCP server design, tool calling, security concerns, translation workflows, developer education, and how DeepL is using MCP to bring high-quality language translation into AI-powered applications.
