Navigating Scala’s AI Landscape
summary
Walks through a concrete integration stack that connects LLMs to real services using MCP (Model Context Protocol), demonstrates a no-code flow in n8n + Slack + OpenAI that creates Google Calendar events, and shows a Scala implementation that exposes MCP tools via a local server (ngrok proxy) which accepts MCP arguments, converts them to typed Scala objects and posts to Google Calendar. Includes a production case: 33 workflows saved 5,000 person-days / £2.2M, and the Scala prototype successfully creates calendar events in the demo.
