SUMMARY:MCP & AI Search + Elastic Observability for IoT
DESCRIPTION:We hope you had a great summer! The Austin Elastic User Group is back and excited to kick off our next meetup on Tuesday\, October 14th. Join us for an evening of learning\, networking\, and connecting with fellow Elastic\nenthusiasts. \nWe’ll have presentations followed by networking\, refreshments\, and pizza 🍕 \n⚡️ Interested in giving a talk? ⚡️\nAre you interested presenting on your Elastic use case? We welcome 5-10 minute lightning talks\, 45-minute deep dives\, and everything in between. If you’re interested\, please send an email to meetups@elastic.co \n📅Date and Time:\nTuesday\, October 14th\, from 5:30-8:00 pm CDT \n📍Location:\nElastic Austin Office: 8th Floor\n823 Congress Ave\nAustin\, TX 78701 \n🚗 Parking:\nParking options nearby include several garages or street parking in nearby blocks. Check out SpotHero to reserve a parking spot in advance! \n🪧 Arrival Instructions:\nWhen you arrive at the office\, head to the 8th floor. \nThe main entrance to the building is on 9th Street\, between Congress Ave and Brazos St. \n📝 Agenda: \n5:30 pm: Doors open\n6:00 pm: AI and Search: Using the Model Context Protocol with Elastic -Moncef Abboud (Platform Engineer at Ticketmaster)\nBreak\n6:45 pm: Applying Elastic Observability to the Internet of Living Things – Sophia Solomon (Developer Advocate at Elastic)\n7:15-8:00 pm: Networking\n💭 Talk Abstracts:\nTalk # 1: AI and Search: Using the Model Context Protocol with Elastic -Moncef Abboud (Platform Engineer at Ticketmaster)\nThe Model Context Protocol (MCP) provides a standard way for AI models to communicate with external systems. In this session\, we’ll explore how Elastic fits into that picture by running an MCP server that interacts with it. We’ll cover the basics of MCP: its architecture\, transport layers\, and primitives\, and then walk through an example of using natural language to query Elastic via an LLM and MCP. The goal is to learn about MCP and demonstrate how it can simplify the integration of AI assistants with Elastic for search and beyond. \nTalk #2 – Applying Elastic Observability to the Internet of Living Things – Sophia Solomon (Developer Advocate at Elastic) \nSpeaker Bios:\nMoncef Abboud is a Platform Engineer at Ticketmaster\, specializing in data platforms and IT infrastructure. His interests include open source technologies\, automation\, and the evolving impact of AI on modern software systems.
