Love seeing this 👏 Our friends at Consortech built 2 MCP servers and 3 tools in just a couple of hours using FME’s new MCP capabilities. Fast path from AI to real-world data—this is just the beginning! 🚀
We're not MCP experts, but we managed to build 2 MCP Servers and 3 MCP Tools in about 2 hours using FME from Safe Software. I've been wanting to run a hackathon-style event with my team for a while. Two days ago, "ConsorHack" happened with a simple concept: tech team gathers for a day, one challenge, go full innovation mode. Team VCW (Vegan Chicken Wings) vs CCS (Carnivore Caesar Salad). With MCP just landing in FME, the theme kind of picked itself. Here's what we shipped: - 2 working MCP Servers - 3 MCP Tools (CRM analytics, event search, parking finder) - Functional prototype, despite the tight timeline Now we know MCP is the enabler to standardize tool and data access. Combined with FME, it can easily bridge your own (spatial!) data and AI, giving you more analytical power and broader data reach. Suddenly, Claude, Ollama, Mistral, or any other LLM can tap into your data without needing custom connectors or code. That changes things. Sure, we hit some limitations (time, Ollama model size, API quota limits, etc.) but we validated the approach! Curious to see where we take this next. We have some ideas in our back pocket! Ciao 🤙 PS: Yes, you guessed it… ConsorHack from Consortech… I know, very creative !!🤣 #FME #DataIntegration
