SUMMARY:Hello Mainframe!  Using Zowe in an AI World with MCP Agents to Tal
 k to z/OS
DESCRIPTION:Joe Winchester (IBM), Andrew Toews (Gestell), and Dan Kelosky 
 (Broadcom)\n\nThe Open Mainframe Project's Zowe CLI is a powerful way to e
 xecute raw z/OS commands, but they lack the contextual understanding for m
 ainframe development. Users must be familiar with TSO syntax, mainframe co
 ncepts like data sets, JCL, how to understand error codes, codepages, ... 
 This talk will showcase the Zowe MCP server that interacts with Zowe CLIs 
 and SDK APIs and allows tasks such as job submission and file navigation a
 nd manipulation using a textual language interface. In addition we'll show
  how to execute TSO commands with guardrails and syntax assistance plus co
 mmand completion and help.\n\nTrack: Machine Learning/AI, z/OS Systems Pro
 gramming, Zowe, Soft Skills, zNextGen\n\nAudience Level: All Audiences\n\n
 Learning Objectives: Integrate with Distributed Systems and Cloud\n\nSessi
 on Chair: Rose Sakach (Broadcom)\n\n
