I'm a Mentor
I write a lot about headless and AI, and I am an expert in these areas.
Currently, I am working on the Sitecore Model Context Protocol server. It is open source. You can contribute, post content about it. It will be win-win.
I will get help with Sitecore MCP server development, and you will get mentorship, ideas for content.
Timeline
Sitecore MCP Server: Search, First Iteration
We have added another chunk of MCP tools. These MCP tools are based on the Indexing Sitecore PowerShell Commands. You can rebuild the index, add or remove items from the index, stop indexing, pause indexing, resume indexing, and most importantly, you can search!

Make your Next.js Sitecore site faster
Sitecore Symposium presentation.
Next.js blurs borders between the frontend and backend. It runs on both the server and in the browser. And it is blazingly fast. But we can make it even faster! Bundle tools are not smart enough. The code, which is executed only on the server can be included in the client-side bundle. We will show how to analyze bundles and improve them. After attending this session, you will be able to apply the same approach and improve the performance of your Next.js websit...
