A demo shows how to create an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server as a Wasm component using a TypeScript template.
This server can make HTTP requests to an API and teach LLMs (Large Language Models) how to interact with it, acting as a "glue" between LLMs and backend services.
A new wash plugin called "OpenAPI to MCP" is demonstrated. This plugin takes an OpenAPI specification document and generates MCP tools from it, streamlining the process of creating an MCP server.
Discussion of how the project allows developers to write idiomatic TypeScript/JavaScript code that compiles into WebAssembly components, making them portable and sandboxed while being much smaller than traditional containers.
Victor explains StarlingMonkey, a JavaScript runtime that compiles to WebAssembly, enabling JavaScript code to run efficiently in WebAssembly modules.
The future roadmap involves supporting more general Node.js APIs within StarlingMonkey and optimizing WebAssembly components to share common runtimes, leading to even smaller binaries.
Updates on the Q3 roadmap progress are given, particularly regarding the integration of the runtime crate into wash, and planning for the Q4 roadmap is set for two weeks later.
