Key Topics We Cover:
✅ What makes MCP different from traditional REST and SOAP APIs
✅ Why AI agents struggle with classic API integrations
✅ How MCP supports runtime discovery, bidirectional communication, and context continuity
✅ Real-world use cases—from AI dev assistants to business intelligence bots
✅ When to use APIs, MCP, or a hybrid approach
✅ How Koombea helps businesses integrate AI-ready systems using both protocols
Whether you're a developer, architect, or product owner building AI-first solutions, this episode gives you the clarity you need to navigate the evolving integration landscape.
