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
