Jean Macq
A speaker and practitioner in the field of network automation, focusing on the application of AI agents and MCP in Wi-Fi network operations.
Timeline (last 90 days)
In his talk at WLPC Prague 2026, Macq showed a screen recording of building his first MCP in 15 minutes (compressed into a two-minute presentation).
In the demo, Macq used prompts to have the AI agent generate four tools: check existing Wi-Fi, create new Wi-Fi, activate Wi-Fi, and verify the result.
Macq recommends following four rules when designing MCP tools: let the server do data cleaning, default to read-only, keep credentials on the server side, and log everything while not trusting agent output.
In the MCP era, the value of domain experts is not diminished but amplified, because agents need people who know the field to write usage manuals so they can call tools correctly.
Macq's environment is not complex, the setup process is just a 15-minute video, and he suggests network engineers try MCP directly.
