MCP over MQTT: How to Connect IoT Devices with AI Systems at Scale

Apr 24, 2025

Join us on April 24 (Thursday) for a webinar on how Model Context Protocol (MCP) can be used with MQTT to revolutionize IoT and AI integration at scale.

EMQ experts will demonstrate how combining these two protocols creates a powerful foundation for connecting thousands of IoT devices to AI systems efficiently, enabling natural language control of your entire device ecosystem.

This webinar will explore:

  • What MCP is and why it's becoming the standard for connecting AI and LLMs to external tools and services
  • How MQTT and MCP can work together to bridge device data with AI systems
  • Why implementing MCP over MQTT instead of HTTP+SSE is crucial for resource-constrained IoT environments
  • Real-world examples of using natural language to control and monitor connected devices across industries

While the content is technical, we've designed this webinar to be accessible to both IoT and AI practitioners looking to understand the future of intelligent, connected systems.

The webinar time works best for North America and Europe, but everyone’s welcome! Register to ask your questions live to MQTT and AI experts.

Background Information:

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard introduced by Anthropic in November 2024 that standardizes how AI and LLMs communicate with external services. While powerful, its HTTP and SSE foundations consume too many resources for typical IoT deployments.

MQTT has already established itself as the industry standard for IoT communication, efficiently transmitting data between devices and backend systems. By implementing MCP over MQTT, developers can connect their existing IoT infrastructure to advanced AI capabilities without hardware upgrades.

EMQ's main product EMQX Platform is an enterprise-grade MQTT broker designed to help large-scale device data connectivity, processing, and integration. In the AI era, EMQX Platform can help enterprises utilize AI to manage large volumes of device data in real-time.

Originally a popular open-source project, EMQX Platform has evolved into a trusted enterprise solution, serving nearly 1,000 enterprise customers across 60+ countries. Connecting over 250 million smart devices globally, it supports mission-critical IoT operations across various sectors, including automotive, manufacturing, and energy.
