In our next meetup, we welcome Sherif Abdelwahab, Principal Software Engineer Architect at Microsoft. He will introduce us thingctx, an open-source project that drives any system from its W3C Thing Description.

Connecting an AI agent to a system usually means writing a server per integration: an MCP or UTCP wrapper you build, deploy, and maintain for every tool. This talk shows a different path built on W3C WoT. A Thing Description already says what a system does and how to reach it, so the integration becomes a document an agent reads, not a server you run. We will walk through the mapping from TD affordances to LLM tool calls, driving real systems straight from their descriptions, and showing a bridge to MCP for agents that require it. The result is one description per system instead of one server, incorporating the standard's typing, security, and discovery.

thingctx is his personal work and not a Microsoft product.
