Hands-on Lab | Leveraging MCP for agentic DataOps

November 13, 2025

About this Hands-on Lab

November 13, 2025 | 10am PT / 1pm ET

Want to experience agentic data engineering first-hand? Join us for a 45-minute hands-on lab where you'll build a monitoring and alerting agent that responds to pipeline failures.

This session will walk through building a custom agent and connecting it to external systems via MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers so that they can take automated action. You'll learn:

  • How MCP servers extend agent capabilities
  • Design principles for building automated agentic responses
  • Best practices for agent deployment

By the end, you'll have a working agent and a framework for testing any agent you build in the future.
