Special event: Developer Live Agent Gauntlet

Can your agent explore the unknown? Get access to a new agent test platform for a chance to win NVIDIA prize packs.

Your mission is to build an agent capable of dynamic exploration using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). At kickoff, your agent will connect to a “Black Box” MCP server filled with hidden tools, unknown functions, and encrypted data. Challenges will be across four domains: Text, Image, Audio and Video.

Your agent won’t know what’s inside. It will need to:

- Explore the server dynamically - Identify and use available tools - Uncover hidden functions and encrypted data - Solve a series of challenges nested within the architecture Refreshments will be provided, so come hungry for knowledge—and maybe a snack or two.
