Agent ready episode 3 with Cloudflare: deploying remote MCP at the edge

The third episode of the Agent Ready video series, featuring Lizzy Siegle from Cloudflare and Reed McGinley-Stempel from Stytch, explores the deployment of remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers at the edge, demonstrating a real-world application with a tennis court booking agent. The episode illustrates how agents can be enhanced with tools built into MCP servers, enabling them to perform tasks like impersonating a user to log in, scrape websites, and complete bookings securely using Cloudflare's browser automation and Stytch's authentication. Through a live demo, viewers learn about designing robust, composable tools that function like APIs with clean inputs and predictable outputs. The session emphasizes the importance of using schemas for validation and clarity, avoiding complex tool "soup," and ensuring tools are simple and deterministic. The discussion also highlights the potential of MCP servers to transform AI agents from mere text predictors to task completers, suggesting a shift in how applications can integrate AI to enhance user functionality and convenience.
