Technical writers spend hours on repetitive tasks like extracting information from bug tracking systems, reformatting content across platforms, and keeping documentation synchronized with multiple systems. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard for connecting AI assistants to enterprise tools, and it offers a practical solution.

This session introduces MCP through a real-world example: automating release notes generation. We'll explore what MCP is, how it works, and why technical communicators should care about it. Using a working demonstration, we'll examine the key decisions involved in implementing MCP-based automation: choosing between existing servers versus building custom ones, balancing automation with human review, and measuring actual time savings versus effort invested.

Takeaways

Attendees will leave understanding how to evaluate MCP for their own repetitive tasks, where to find ready-to-use MCP servers, and practical first steps for getting started with AI-powered documentation automation.

Prior knowledge

This presentation is my attempt to help advance technical writer's understanding of emerging technologies. Basic understanding of AI, MCP might help.
