What if your Python AI agent could connect to Jira, SQL, or SAP in minutes—securely and at scale? In this talk, you'll Plug Into the MCP Matrix and discover how open-source MCP servers and registries can supercharge your LLMs with real-world integration superpowers. Learn how to create your own secure MCP registries and use mcp package managers like fluidmcp using a newly open opensource mcp package manager https://github.com/Fluid-AI/fluidmcp to instantly spin up FastAPI endpoints that bridge AI with complex systems—no boilerplate, no headaches. With live demos and battle-tested insights this session is your blueprint for turning AI agents into real-world action engines
