Overview
This five-part masterclass explores the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and how it connects AI agents with tools, data, and automation. Starting with MCP fundamentals, the series takes participants through building and exposing Ui Path workflows as MCP tools, developing custom Python-based MCP servers, and exploring Agent2Agent (A2A) communication🚀

MCP Foundations: Understanding the Connection
Understand what the Model Context Protocol (MCP) is and why AI agents need it. Learn the MCP architecture: host, client and server, and how requests flow between them. Know the different MCP server types in UiPath Automation Cloud and when to choose each. See how automation capabilities can be exposed as tools for AI agents. Gain the confidence to say: “I get what MCP means and why it matters.”
Workflow to Tool: Building with UiPath MCP
A live demo of turning an existing UiPath workflow into an MCP tool. A hands-on email use case that summarizes and classifies emails (appreciation, inquiry, escalation). A practical understanding of publishing to Orchestrator and adding the process to a UiPath MCP Server. Skills to test your tool with MCP Inspector and Postman. Gain the confidence to say: “I can turn my workflow into an AI-ready tool.”
Code Your Own MCP: Building Beyond Low-Code
Understand coded MCP servers and how they go beyond visual configuration. Get started with the UiPath MCP SDK for Python, including project setup and folder structure. See a custom timesheet checker built live that validates weekly hours against a 40-hour target. Learn to package, publish, configure and test your own MCP server. Gain the confidence to say: “I can code my own MCP server.”
Beyond MCP: Connecting AI Agents with A2A
Understand Agent2Agent (A2A) communication and how it differs from MCP. Know the difference between inbound and outbound agent communication, with practical scenarios. Build and deploy a UiPath conversational agent for weekly timesheet assistance. See how to find an agent’s endpoint and invoke it from Postman through authenticated requests. Gain the confidence to say: “I know how agents talk to each other.”
Connecting Ecosystems: Remote MCP, Supabase & Maestro
Understand external and remotely hosted MCP servers and how agents reach outside systems. Configure the Supabase MCP server and connect it to UiPath to enable database operations. Learn the key components of UiPath Maestro Flow and how agents, workflows and tools work together. See a complete Maestro Flow run end to end with the results verified in Supabase. Gain the confidence to say: “I can connect UiPath to any external ecosystem.”
