Make Rails AI-Ready by Design with the Model Context Protocol

Model Context Protocol
Remember the joy of Rails scaffold creating web interfaces in DHH’s demos? Let’s make it just as simple for AI integrations!
Imagine Rails scaffolding not just views for humans, but a parallel, AI interaction layer - out of the box!
How? By embracing convention over configuration with the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the emerging standard (backed by Google & OpenAI) for AI-app interactions.
Example: Scaffold a ReservationsController and instantly let an AI agent book a room via MCP - just like agents may use it with GitHub or JIRA today.
I’ll show:
- A full-stack AI-ready app scaffolded live
- An AI agent using it
- How backend, frontend, and AI layers cooperate
- How to make your app speak AI natively
Ultimately, this talk shows Rails’ competitive advantage for the AI era.
