Enterprise MCP Hackathon

Enterprise MCP Hackathon is the fastest gateway to understand how to build and deploy secure MCP servers with other sponsor tools with enterprise use case in mind. Let’s get together and hack cool things on 13th - 15th of September! 

​Different from every other hackathon - we want to make this event as friendly as possible for enterprises. If you are building for company internal tooling or features:

1. You don't have to make your repo public

2. You just need to take a screenshot of git diff or PR as prove "this work is done during the hackathon"

3. ​You can demo the tooling or company product during demo

4. ​Legitimate proof that this is a company project with NDA that this repository cannot be shared public (you are an employee of the company/work email/screenshot of git repository belong to the company)

5. ​Demo company internal tooling won't affect final judging score but it's preferably deployed

​We provide: food, drinks, space in WorkOS’s office, desk, expert judges to help with sponsor tools

You: bring your ideas and laptop!

Will you build a reactive system response to real world events? Send a squad team from your company to crunch an important feature? A prototype for your company yet pushed into production? An app with UI changes as users use them? A visual monitoring tool? This is the time to time box your build!
