Building with Kafka, MCP, and event-driven systems. Sharing what I learn.

Problem: Most production APIs are REST. LLM assistants speak tools via MCP. Bridging them usually means hand-writing a server per API.

What it is: ContextLayer turns a REST API into an MCP server so assistants can call existing endpoints as tools — a hub for connectors rather than one-off wrappers.

Why it matters: Used in live MCP education sessions and demos; lowers the cost of giving agents real system access without rewriting backends.
