Key Takeaways

Creating an AI context stack using OKF and MCP to address knowledge and access gaps in AI agents

Original Description

Every AI agent has two blind spots: it doesn't know your world, and it can't touch your systems. OKF plugs the first gap. MCP plugs the second. Together they form the AI context stack that actually ships. 0:00 The Problem — context gaps that break every agent 0:29 Two Gaps — knowledge gap vs access gap 0:57 OKF — a flat folder that quietly becomes a knowledge graph 1:52 MCP — 97M downloads, N×M collapses to N+M 2:54 The Click — watch OKF + MCP work together in one query 3:29 Hidden Cost — 143K tokens burned before a word is typed 4:05 Production Stack — slow layer (OKF) + fast layer (MCP) 4:37 Subscribe — one AI system, every week Tools covered: Open Knowledge Format (OKF), Model Context Protocol (MCP) Subscribe for one AI system every week → https://youtube.com/@theaihow ───────────────────────────── SHORTS FROM THIS VIDEO Token Tax — Your AI burns 143K tokens before you type a word https://www.youtube.com/shorts/b8YMtCyNaiE N×M Trap — Why AI agent integrations explode out of control https://www.youtube.com/shorts/OxqBxEil8yM Missing Brain — Your AI knows everything except your company https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cIv08wldKVs
