ECA, AI and MCP: Connecting Context, Intelligence and Action
ECA, AI and MCP: Connecting Context, Intelligence and Action
Jasper Lammens (lammensj)
Discover how integrating AI with Drupal's ECA module can revolutionize your workflows. Learn to use AI for chat, text-to-speech, and more, and meet an AI agent that simplifies model management. Explore the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for seamless automation and build adaptive systems that save time and enhance site responsiveness.
Prerequisite
To maximize the value of this session, participants should have some understanding of Drupal's architecture and basic familiarity with the Even-Condition-Action (ECA) module. There will be short intro regarding the module, but the more your know upfront, the better!
Additionally, a basic understanding of AI concepts, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), will help participants appreciate the capabilities and potential of AI-driven actions within Drupal.
Outline
In this session, we will explore the powerful integration of AI with the Even-Condition-Action (ECA) module to automate and enhance your Drupal workflows. Using AI-powered actions within Drupal, we’ll show how operations like chat, text-to-speech, and other LLM-driven tasks can become integral components of dynamic ECA models. These small AI actions work as part of a larger, context-aware automation system that reacts intelligently to site events.
We'll also introduce a powerful AI agent that can answer questions about existing components and models, as well as facilitate the creation and editing of new ones. This agent serves as a bridge, ensuring that your ECA models are easily accessible and adaptable as your project evolves.
Finally, we’ll dive into the role of the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which exposes Drupal’s functionality via LLM tools. With MCP, these tools will eventually be able to trigger ECA models, creating a seamless flow of context-driven automation across your site. This path opens up exciting possibilities for AI-powered workflows that connect data, actions, and tools in a way that’s both flexible and powerful.
Learning Objectives
Attendees will learn how to combine these components to build intelligent, automated systems within Drupal, empowering them to create adaptive, responsive user experiences that save time and improve site management.
