Special event: Developer Live Agent Gauntlet

Can your agent explore the unknown?

Your mission is to build an agent capable of dynamic exploration using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). At kickoff, your agent will connect to a “Black Box” MCP server filled with hidden tools, unknown functions, and encrypted data. Challenges will be across four domains: Text, Image, Audio and Video.

Your agent won’t know what’s inside. It will need to:

• Explore the server dynamically

• Identify and use available tools

• Uncover hidden functions and encrypted data

• Solve a series of challenges nested within the architecture

Refreshments will be provided, so come hungry for knowledge—and maybe a snack or two.
