Workshop: Building scalable, edge-native, production-grade MCP tools with RUST - Rajesh Sola, KPIT

Sunday June 14, 2026 10:00am - 11:00am IST

Lotus 3 (Level 3)

The emergence of the Model Context Protocol is transforming how AI agents interact with tools, data, and real-world systems. However, most early MCP implementations rely on high-level runtimes that are not well-suited for embedded and resource-constrained edge environments. This session explores how RUST enables a new class of high-performance, memory-safe MCP servers designed specifically for Embedded Linux–powered edge devices.

In this tutorial, I'll walk through building a lightweight MCP server, bridging physical data sources into LLM-readable formats, enabling intelligent agents to reason over live edge data using Rust.

- Why MCP for Edge AI Systems?
- Why RUST?
- Building simple server using rmcp and testing with a client
- Bridging physical word e.g. Sensors, Telemetry, File Systems and structuring LLM-readable context, data pipelines
- High-performance Edge MCP Runtime - Async & Concurrency Models for scalable communication (MQTT, HTTP, gRPC etc.)
- Observability, tracing & Debugging
- Bring MCP in Agent loop, Using Rig for orchestration
- Deploying to target board, cross compilation steps
- Case Study: Building an Edge MCP Agent, e.g. Telemetry and Diagnostics

Workshop: Beyond RAG: Building a Context Engine for Multi-Agent Systems Using MCP - Saradindu Sengupta, Lytx Inc

Sunday June 14, 2026 11:30am - 12:30pm IST

Lotus 2 (Level 3)

**Space Limited - First Come, First Served. Please bring a fully charged laptop to the workshop**

As agentic systems evolve from single-step tasks to orchestrated workflows, maintaining structured, evolving context becomes a core engineering challenge. While Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) improves access to information, most implementations treat the knowledge source as a static, read-only repository, making it difficult to capture relationships, causality, and decision history across sessions.

This hands-on workshop focuses on operationalising a context engine using MCP—showing how to build a system where agents can read, write, and reason over shared structured context.

Participants will work through a guided implementation to:

* Design a minimal context graph schema for a real-world workflow.
* Ingest and normalise data into a structured representation.
* Expose the context layer via MCP servers.
* Enable agents to query and update context through MCP tools.
* Persist reasoning state across sessions and agent boundaries.

By the end of the session, attendees will have built a working foundation for a context engine and understand how to evolve it into a shared context layer for multi-agent orchestration.

Workshop: Building Production-Ready MCP Servers: Lessons From an Open Source Template - Abhishek Kumar & Deepak Koul, Red Hat

Sunday June 14, 2026 11:30am - 12:30pm IST

Lotus 3 (Level 3)

**Space Limited - First Come, First Served. Please bring a fully charged laptop to the workshop**

Most MCP tutorials stop at "hello world." This session goes further. We will walk through how we built a production-grade, open source MCP server template at Red Hat, covering FastMCP + FastAPI integration, multiple transport protocols (HTTP, SSE, streamable-HTTP), OAuth with PostgreSQL token storage, structured logging, and OpenShift deployment manifests. Attendees will leave with a clear mental model of what it actually takes to go from a local MCP prototype to something you can run in production on Kubernetes. We will also share the design decisions we made, the mistakes we avoided, and how developers can use this template as a starting point for their own MCP servers.

Keynote: Who Keeps It Open? The Story Behind the Agentic AI Foundation, and the Future We're Building - Manik Surtani, CTO Agentic AI Foundation

Sunday June 14, 2026 2:15pm - 2:25pm IST

Lotus 1 (Level 3)

18 months ago, Block open-sourced an agent framework called Goose. Community grew quickly, faster than I ever expected. Then the community came back with a question I didn't have a good answer to: who keeps this open?
This is the story of chasing that answer - how it led to a foundation co-founded by fierce rivals, why nearly two hundred companies have since joined, and what we've learned about open along the way. Because open, on its own, doesn't stay open; we've seen that movie before, and the agentic layer raises the stakes higher than anything that came before it.
It's also a look forward - to the future we're building toward, where agents from any vendor can find each other, trust each other, and transact on rails no single company, or government, can ever pull out from under us. The agentic layer is still being shaped. This talk is about how we keep it open, and how you can help, while it's still ours to shape.

Building Rich AI-Native UI for Agentic Interactions Using MCP Apps - Ashita Prasad, AWS

Sunday June 14, 2026 3:20pm - 3:45pm IST

Lotus 1 (Level 3)

AI Agents are getting smarter with each passing day. But, their interfaces? Not so much.

But, what if there is a way to turn the AI chat from a place where you converse into a place where you can actually work?

MCP Apps offer a solution to go beyond the text and standardize how MCP servers can deliver rich, bidirectional UI components like dashboards, forms, interactive visualizations & more. These components are rendered securely and natively within AI hosts, enabling agents to interact with users via rich interactive interfaces.

In this session, attendees will learn:
- Core architectural patterns from real MCP Apps development
- How to handle sandboxed host–server communication, manage state synchronization, stream real-time updates, handle async tasks, & add multiplayer collaboration
- How to leverage context and persist memory across conversations
- How to avoid some common pitfalls and utilize debugging workflows and tools
- How to add authentication & deploy a remote MCP Server providing MCP Apps

We will walk through a complete, production-style Sales Analytics MCP Apps and perform a code deep-dive to showcase the effective foundational patterns while building MCP Apps.

The Illusion of Idempotency: Why MCP Actions Aren’t as Safe as You Think - Prerit Munjal, Groupon

Sunday June 14, 2026 3:20pm - 3:45pm IST

Lotus 2 (Level 3)

We design MCPs assuming idempotency, apply the same action twice nothing changes, reconcile repeatedly, and state is declarative.

But in reality, most MCP actions are only partially idempotent, because beneath the abstraction external systems mutate independently, side effects escape the control plane, ordering of operations matters, and “same input” doesn’t always mean “same result”. At scale, MCPs rely on many things like reconciliation loops, declarative APIs, retry-based execution.

We’ll unpack how MCPs unintentionally, violate idempotency through hidden side effects, depend on ordering guarantees that don’t exist, produce divergent states under retries, mask unsafe operations behind “safe” abstractions. This isn’t a talk about retries or Kubernetes patterns. There are no controller frameworks, just a deeper examination of why MCPs aren’t as safe as we assume, and how to design them with fewer hidden risks.

Because the most dangerous systems aren’t the ones that fail.
They’re the ones you believe are safe to retry.

Who's Calling? Bringing Identity To the MCP Host - Ayesha Dissanayaka, WSO2

Sunday June 14, 2026 3:20pm - 3:45pm IST

Lotus 3 (Level 3)

The MCP authorization spec gives us a clean OAuth 2.1 story between clients and servers. What it leaves out of scope is the host itself, the AI agent orchestrating the conversation. That's where enterprise deployments quietly break.

An MCP host is not a passive pipe. It accepts requests from users, services, and peer agents, reasons with LLMs, and invokes tools across many servers. Every edge is an identity boundary. Without a first-class host identity, no stable credentials, no verifiable delegation, no independent audit trail, every downstream decision inherits that ambiguity. Who made this tool call? The user? The agent on their behalf? The agent autonomously? Most deployments cannot answer, so they cannot enforce least privilege or satisfy audit.

This talk treats the MCP host as a first-class identity through four disciplines: Administer (lifecycle, credentials), Authenticate (how a host proves itself), Authorize (delegation vs. impersonation, token exchange, actor claims), and Audit (trails that separate agent action from user intent). For each, we'll show what the spec covers, where the gap sits, and which extensions and emerging patterns are converging to close it.

Agentless Agents: Replacing Sidecar Observability With eBPF + MCP Tool Chains - Harini Anand, IBM

Sunday June 14, 2026 3:50pm - 4:15pm IST

Lotus 2 (Level 3)

The dominant observability pattern for AI agents today is layered agents: sidecars, daemon sets, exporters. Each adds blast radius.

This talk proposes flipping the model, using eBPF for zero-agent kernel telemetry, exposing it via MCP, and letting the LLM itself do the orchestration across tool calls.

I'll demo a concrete multi-tool MCP interaction: an LLM receives "why is this service slow?", autonomously calls get_recent_process_execs, correlates with get_active_connections, and follows up with get_high_syscall_latency, forming a causal chain from kernel truth to natural language diagnosis. No pre-scripted runbook. No human in the loop.

The talk goes deep on failure modes specific to this architecture: tool-call loops triggered by ambiguous latency signals, hallucination risk when eBPF data is sparse, and retry/fallback strategies when kernel probes detach under load.

We'll also cover how to design MCP tool responses that constrain LLM reasoning toward actionable conclusions, not just open-ended exploration.

Attendees leave understanding how to architect kernel-aware agentic systems that are genuinely production-safe.

SEO for Agents: Why No Other Agent Will Pay Yours (Yet) - Manav Agarwal, AgentProof

Sunday June 14, 2026 3:50pm - 4:15pm IST

Lotus 1 (Level 3)

56,000+ MCP servers are listed across mcp.so, Smithery, Glama, and PulseMCP. But how do you know which ones actually work?

I independently mapped 4 major MCP directories and tested 65+ servers across Research, Code, and Finance categories. The results expose a critical trust gap.

Each directory measures something different — none measure what matters most:
- mcp.so (19.5K servers): Zero quality signals
- Smithery (4.4K): Tracks uptime, not output quality
- Glama (21K): Grades code quality, not correctness
- PulseMCP (11K): Tracks popularity only

Key findings I'll share:

1. Quality collapse at scale — Developer Tools has 8,800 servers but only ~12 are consistently good (0.1% quality rate)

2. The Finance/Payments desert — 74 Finance servers out of 19,557 (0.4%). Fewer than 8 support agent-to-agent payments across 14 protocols I analyzed

3. A practical framework for MCP server trust — beyond code grades to actual output quality assessment

This is independent research, not a product pitch. Full dataset and methodology shared openly.

Attendees leave with the first cross-directory quality analysis of the MCP ecosystem and a framework for evaluating servers.

The State Sidecar: Solving the MCP Stateless Paradox - Joval Kuruvila, Caze Labs Private Limited & Advaith Sanil Kumar, Caze Labs

Sunday June 14, 2026 5:20pm - 5:45pm IST

Lotus 1 (Level 3)

There is a fundamental contradiction at the heart of production deployments for the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Conceptually, MCP sessions are stateful: they establish connections, negotiate capabilities, and persist context. However, modern deployment environments—like Kubernetes horizontal scaling, serverless functions, and AWS Bedrock AgentCore—are inherently stateless.

The current ecosystem advice is simply to "externalize your state," but there is no standardized infrastructure for doing this natively within MCP. Developers are forced to build ad hoc memory management using custom Redis wrappers or brittle in-memory dictionaries.

This session introduces the State Sidecar pattern: a dedicated MCP server whose sole responsibility is to store, manage, and retrieve agent workflow state. Instead of building custom database connectors, any agent can call the sidecar via standard MCP tool calls to persist intermediate results, track task progress, and maintain context summaries.

Scaling AI: gRPC as Transport Backbone for Enterprise MCP - Pawan Bhardwaj, Google

Sunday June 14, 2026 5:20pm - 5:45pm IST

Lotus 2 (Level 3)

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is rapidly becoming the standard for connecting LLMs to data sources and tools. However, as organizations move from local experimentation to global production, the default JSON-RPC over HTTP transport hits a "scale ceiling."

gRPC is already establish as a go to library for transport for enterprise services as it provide high throughput and better performance using protobuf and HTTP/2. gRPC has Service Mesh Integration, Observability, Enterprise security and many more features, which can be leveraged by the MCP Server and Clients.

This session show case a demo of using MCP with gRPC transport.

Closing the AuthZ Gap in MCP: Policy-Driven Tool Invocation Control - Oshi Gupta, Infracloud Technologies - An Improving Company & Sonali Srivastava, Improving

Sunday June 14, 2026 5:20pm - 5:45pm IST

Lotus 3 (Level 3)

MCP tools give AI agents direct access to external services - production databases, internal APIs, third-party platforms. But most teams deploying MCP today have no answer to a simple question: who authorized that tool call?

MCP has made remarkable strides in standardizing agent-to-tool connectivity - but AuthN and AuthZ at the tool invocation layer remain an open problem. Tool calls are dynamic and runtime-driven; static Kubernetes RBAC has no vocabulary for per-tool, per-agent, or per-parameter enforcement. There is no native spec primitive to say "only this agent can call this tool."

In multi-tenant environments this gets worse - one misconfigured agent can invoke tools across tenant boundaries and nobody finds out until the damage is done. Teams filling this gap today are relying on custom middleware, app-level checks, or nothing at all.

This talk explores where MCP's authorization model falls short and how policy-as-code closes the gap - with Kyverno as one strong implementation path. The session walks through real ClusterPolicy configurations, multi-tenant isolation patterns, and hard-won lessons from tuning enforcement without breaking production agents.

The Coordination Tax: Why Your MCP Multi-agent System Degrades at Scale, and How To Fix It - Rudra Kushwah & Jay Shukla, Indian Institute of Information Technology, Nagpur; Shivaprasad Gowda, Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee; Krishna Padia, Shri Vil

Sunday June 14, 2026 6:20pm - 6:45pm IST

Lotus 2 (Level 3)

Multi-agent MCP systems work beautifully in staging. They fail in production. We learned this the hard way: three agents, nine tools, accuracy that quietly degraded under real load, and a job that blew past its token budget before anyone noticed.

We weren't alone. Google DeepMind and MIT's December 2025 paper "Towards a Science of Scaling Agent Systems" measured up to 17× error amplification in naive multi-agent setups and found coordination yields negative returns past a saturation threshold. Separate work (MAFBench, 2025) shows framework design choices alone can cut planning accuracy by 30% and collapse coordination success from over 90% to under 30%. Most MCP deployments hit this wall and misdiagnose it as a model problem.

This talk walks through three failure modes - Infinite Loop, False Consensus, Silent Fallback with message traces, token costs, and detection times. We then introduce the "topology contract": a lightweight JSON schema embedded in MCP server metadata, compatible with the 2026 Server Cards roadmap. Additive to the spec, zero protocol changes.

Attendees leave with a reproducible benchmark suite and a schema they can adopt in an afternoon.

Bringing the Cloud To the Edge — and Keeping the Data There: MCP-Orchestrated On-Device AI With Exe - Akkhil Gupta, deduceTheLogic

Sunday June 14, 2026 6:20pm - 6:45pm IST

Lotus 1 (Level 3)

The default AI stack today ships user data to a cloud endpoint and hopes for the best. But regulations like GDPR, India's DPDP Act, and sector-specific mandates (healthcare, finance, defense) increasingly demand that sensitive data never leave the device or jurisdiction. This talk presents a working architecture that squares the circle: run frontier-class SLMs (Phi-3 Mini, Gemma 2B) locally via Meta's ExecuTorch runtime on Android, while using Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP) as the orchestration layer that decides what runs where, which tools the model can access, and what data governance policies are enforced — all without a single byte of PII hitting an external server.

Zero-Trust Execution: Sandboxing MCP Data Agents With WebAssembly - Shuva Jyoti Kar, Palo Alto Networks

Sunday June 14, 2026 6:20pm - 6:45pm IST

Lotus 3 (Level 3)

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) standardizes context retrieval and tool execution, but granting LLMs access to dynamic execution environments introduces critical runtime vulnerabilities. Traditional containerization (e.g., Docker/containerd) introduces unacceptable latency overhead for sub-second agentic loops, while static IAM/RBAC models fundamentally fail to constrain non-deterministic generated code.

This technical session details the architectural implementation of embedding a WebAssembly (WASM) runtime within an MCP server to enforce a strict, capability-based execution boundary. We will deconstruct how to compile MCP tools to WASM modules and utilize the WebAssembly System Interface (WASI) to ensure that any logic invoked by an LLM is isolated from the host operating system.
