We recently released the ability to create remote Model Context Protocol (MCP)
servers for any API in Zuplo. To coincide with this we released a whole week of
videos and blog posts covering MCP, and other related topics such as AI agents,
LLM API discovery, security policies and best practices.

## Day 1: Why MCP Won't Kill APIs

API strategy consultant Kevin Swiber, who has spent 15 years in the API space
working with companies like Postman and advising the OpenAPI initiative, shares
valuable insights on how to approach MCP design effectively why it's definitely
not going to be the API killer.

## Day 2: Build Remote MCP Servers for Your APIs with Zuplo

Zuplo's MCP Server Handler enables you to transform any API you manage through
Zuplo into a remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server with straightforward
configuration, eliminating the complexity of remote MCP server setup.

## Day 3: The AI Agent Reality Gap

The promise of AI agents seamlessly connecting to APIs and handling complex
business tasks autonomously sounds compelling. But Zdenek "Z" Nemec, co-founder
and CTO of [Superface](https://superface.ai) shared sobering insights from
real-world testing that reveal a massive gap between AI agent expectations and
reality. [Read the full blog post](/blog/ai-agent-reality-gap).

## Day 4: Essential Security Policies for MCP & AI

With the growing adoption of AI agents and LLM-powered applications, securing
the communication layer between these systems has become critical. We're
introducing two new Zuplo policies designed specifically to protect endpoints
used by AI agents, LLMs and MCP servers.

## Day 5: AI Agents Are Coming For Your APIs

John McBride, staff software engineer at Zuplo, shared insights from his talk
"Agents Are Coming For Your APIs." His message is clear: the future remains
fundamentally API-driven, even as AI agents reshape how we interact with digital
services.

The article highlights some of the key takeaways from that discussion around how
APIs and agents are going to interact with APIs and how engineers can prepare
themselves. [Read the full blog post](/blog/ai-agents-are-coming-for-your-apis).
