Event-driven agents, powered by MCP
summary
MCP Triggers & Events extension adds pull, push, web hook delivery so agents can receive external events rather than only polling tools; the pull mode uses cursor pagination, push reuses MCP streams for low latency, and webhooks use HMAC-signed payloads. Demo builds an earthquake monitoring agent that consumes the USGS feed (>=2.5 magnitude), sees 39 earthquakes in 24 hours, queues webhooks, hydrates sessions from S3, generates periodic briefings every 4 hours, and demonstrates a serverless event-driven architecture that successfully delivers and processes events.
