## AI overview

Apollo's recap of its first MCP Server Builder Meetup highlights demonstrations of building, testing, and composing MCP servers and agent workflows. The sessions covered Goose, Square's layered MCP server approach, and Langflow's visual MCP client and server capabilities.

## Source excerpt

On June 18th, we hosted our very first MCP Server Builder Meetup in San Francisco, bringing together engineers, tinkerers, and early adopters to explore the future of building AI-native developer experiences with Model Context Protocol (MCP). This was more than just a showcase of cool demos. It marked the launch of a new community of developers building for and with LLMs using MCP servers. The energy in the room made one thing clear: this community is ready to build what's next.
