Send us a text This week on Sidecar Sync, Amith Nagarajan and Mallory Mejias explore Wells Fargo’s virtual assistant “Fargo” and how it stacks up against Klarna’s AI tool from a year ago. With 250 million fully automated interactions and measurable impact on customer engagement and bias reduction, Fargo offers a powerful case study in applied AI. Amith reflects on what’s now possible for associations, why a narrow pilot project is a smart first move, and how “human in the loop” isn’t just a safety net—it’s strategic.

Send us a text In this episode of Sidecar Sync, hosts Mallory Mejias and Amith Nagarajan take a deep dive into Model Context Protocol (MCP), a revolutionary standard making it dramatically easier for AI to interact with data, tools, and systems—no code required. Mallory shares her personal setup experience with Claude for desktop, walking through a live example of using MCP to automate file organization. Amith expands on why MCP is a game-changer for association leaders, how it enables business users to go from idea to execution quickly, and why data liberation is the missing piece for many organizations. The duo also breaks down new insights from Anthropic’s Economic Index, which reveals that AI is currently used far more for augmenting human effort than full automation. It’s an episode rich with practical insights, technical clarity, and a peek into the fast-arriving future of AI in the workplace. 🔎 Check out Sidecar's AI Learning Hub and get your Association AI Professional (AAiP) certification: https://learn.sidecar.ai 📕 Download ‘Ascend 2nd Edition: Unlocking the Power of AI for Associations’ for FREE https://sidecar.ai/ai 📅 Find out more digitalNow 2025 and register now: https://digitalnow.sidecar.ai/ 🎉 More from Today’s Sponsors: CDS Global https://www.cds-global.com/ VideoRequest https://videorequest.io/ 🛠 AI Tools and Resources Mentioned in This Episode: MCP Quickstart Guide ➡ https://modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/user Claude for Desktop ➡ https://www.anthropic.com Zapier ➡ https://zapier.com Cursor ➡ https://www.cursor.so Chapters: 00:00 - Welcome to Sidecar Sync and What’s Ahead 01:02 - Catching Up: Spring Break and Autonomous Driving 05:02 - What Is Model Context Protocol (MCP)? 07:06 - How MCP Works: Mallory’s Simple Explanation 08:11 - Step-by-Step: Setting Up Claude Desktop With MCP 12:42 - Live Demo: Moving Files Using Claude and MCP 18:01 - Why Associations Should Care About MCP 26:44 - MCP and the Role of AI Data Platforms 33:07 - What Is the Anthropic Economic Index? 35:59 - 📅 Find out more digitalNow 2025 and register now: https://digitalnow.sidecar.ai/ 🎉 More from Today’s Sponsors: Member Junction https://memberjunction.com/ 🚀 Sidecar on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/sidecar-global/ 👍 Like & Subscribe! https://x.com/sidecarglobal https://www.youtube.com/@SidecarSync https://sidecar.ai/ Amith Nagarajan is the Chairman of Blue Cypress https://BlueCypress.io , a family of purpose-driven companies and proud practitioners of Conscious Capitalism.
