​Welcome to MCP Agent Silsila Series!Every three weeks, we host live sessions with experts to explore real-world applications of MCP, feature community MCP projects, and demo tools and agents that are pushing MCP to the limit.We hope this series fosters a community of builders to learn, share insights and develop expertise on Model Context Protocol.This session's featured companies are: • ​Thorsten Schaeff from ElevenLabs • ​Batuhan Aktas from Dria ​About the HostThis session is hosted by Sarmad Qadri, CEO of LastMile AI and creator of mcp-agent: a simple, composable framework for building agents using Model Context Protocol (MCP).“Silsila” (سلسلہ) means chain of events in Urdu. We thought it is a fitting name for a gathering of builders, researchers, and developers working on modular, tool-using, agentic systems powered by MCP. (It was also the name we considered before settling on mcp-agent).If you want to demo or speak at our future events email hanieh@lastmileai.dev.

​In this workshop, we’ll break down the Character Window workflow, which combines server-hosted Daydream StreamDiffusionTD with MediaPipe to create a pinch-pulldown window over a person’s face in real time. ​Here’s how it works: • ​Pinch-pulldown effect: Triggered by MediaPipe hand tracking, a window overlays the user’s face. • ​Real-time face replacement: The window displays the output of StreamDiffusionTD, which swaps the user’s face for a prompted visual filter. • ​Dynamic prompt system: Prompts are pulled from a ChatGPT-generated master list and rotate between three modes: Celebrities, Fantasy Characters, and Animals. ​We’ll walk through each part of the stack, from hardware and server setup to prompt generation and mode switching, so you can see exactly how these components work together.Project files drop during the event! Join us, scan the QR, and be among the first to unlock them.We will be streaming the event on the following channels:1) Daydream's Discord2) Daydream X
