The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is emerging as the interface layer between developers and LLMs — defining how data, memory, and logic are fed into models.

In this hackathon, we’re building tools, frameworks, and hacks around MCP:
🔧 Dynamic prompt stacks
🧠 Long-term memory systems
🔁 RAG pipelines
🤖 Multi-agent orchestration
🧩 Modular context functions
