PowerShell as an MCP Tooling Host: Using MCPServerPS to Supercharge AI-Assisted Automation
Monday April 13, 2026 1:00pm - 1:45pm PDT
The MCPServerPS module introduces a new way to combine PowerShell with AI-driven workflows by exposing scripts and functions as MCP tools. This session demonstrates how MCPServerPS turns existing PowerShell logic (.ps1 files or script module functions) into discoverable, schema-backed tools that AI clients can call directly. The result is a more productive and repeatable pattern for blending AI assistance with real automation code, without rewriting or restructuring your scripts.
 
We will walk through the module’s architecture, show how to register and expose tools, review schema generation and invocation flows, and highlight scenarios where MCP improves automation reliability and developer efficiency. If you're interested in using PowerShell as the execution backbone behind AI-enabled workflows, or if you want to understand how MCP tooling can extend your automation capabilities, this session will give you a practical, code-focused introduction to what’s possible today.

Beyond the Prompt: Leveraging MCP and PowerShell for Custom LLM Actions
Monday April 13, 2026 3:00pm - 4:30pm PDT
Large Language Models (LLMs) offer unprecedented power, but their integration into critical IT operations often requires precise, controlled execution of commands. This session addresses that challenge by demonstrating how to use MCP (Model Context Protocol) to run PowerShell, transforming LLM outputs into reliable, actionable commands. We'll move beyond simple scripting to build a robust framework together that empowers LLMs to execute specific PowerShell commands.Attendees will embark on an interactive journey to create an MCP service from scratch using PowerShell, seeing first hand how MCP works under the hood. We will explore the protocol and how it links LLM decisions to PowerShell's capabilities, enabling dynamic, AI-driven automation without allowing arbitrary PowerShell execution. We will build a real world solution together that you can use in your environments.
