The Invincible MCP Server: Building Crash-Proof AI Tools With Durable Execution - Shubham Londhe, Temporal

Monday June 15, 2026 11:30am - 11:55am IST

Lotus 3

We All have been building AI Agents with MCP since it launched in 2024, but there's one thing no one is talking about - "What happens when MCP Fails? (and they fail often). MCP is just a process and it can crash, and so will the AI agent progress, it all can vanish with a crash.

Well, the new Tasks primitive in MCP (SEP-1686) helps a lot, it gives your AI agents a way to hand off long-running tools, but it doesn't solve the real problem. They don't maintain the state when the server crashes.

In this session, I'll do a live demo of a Kubernetes Auto Healing AI Agent with MCP server and walk through how to wrap MCP tool logic in workflows that survive crashes, restarts, and network failures.
I'll cover how to handle human-in-the-loop approvals inside long-running tools, how to retries and state-management, and how to observe what your MCP tools are doing in production.

I'll be breaking a running server on stage and show you the agent recovering without losing a step. Hence "The Invincible MCP Server"

Why Most MCP Tools Fail Silently, and How To Measure It - Om Shree, Shreesozo

Monday June 15, 2026 11:30am - 11:55am IST

Lotus 2

Most MCP servers don't break because of bugs. They break because the tool descriptions are too vague for agents to reliably pick the right tool.
Two research papers put numbers to this. A SAIL Research study of 856 tools across 103 MCP servers found 97% have at least one quality defect, 56% don't clearly state what the tool does, 89% give no guidance on when not to use it. A second study of 10,831 servers found that well-written descriptions get selected 260% more often, and fixing them raises task success rates by roughly 6 points.
Working with the Glama founder, I helped develop the Tool Definition Quality Score (TDQS) - an open source framework that scores every MCP tool across six dimensions: Purpose Clarity, Usage Guidelines, Behavioral Transparency, Parameter Semantics, Conciseness, and Contextual Completeness. Each tool gets a 1–5 per dimension with specific feedback on what's missing and why it matters.
This talk covers how TDQS was built, what scoring thousands of real servers revealed, and how server authors can use it to ship tools agents actually invoke correctly. The framework is open source and already live across Glama-hosted servers.

From Shadow MCP To Sanctioned MCP: Building an Enterprise Agent Governance Program - Navin Pai, StackGen & Archana Rajkumar, SentinelOne

Monday June 15, 2026 11:55am - 12:20pm IST

Lotus 3

MCP has become the de-facto "standard" for exposing the external environment to agents, but security has always been a trailing concern, making a lot of platform teams sweat under the collar. Policy checks and tool-call authentication were tacked on quickly, but are quickly being seen are necessary but not sufficient. This session zooms out from single-agent enforcement to the operational challenge security and platform teams actually face in 2026: dozens of agents, hundreds of MCP server connections, multiple clouds, rogue tool registrations, and no centralized visibility into what's running.

This session presents a multi-stage maturity model for enterprise MCP governance, to help take practitioners from "we have no idea what's running" to "every tool call is governed, audited, and compliant with internal policies", and shows how to build the program incrementally, without boiling the ocean in the process and slowing down developer velocity.

Beyond 1:1 Mapping: Designing MCP for Real Enterprise Systems - Naresh Waswani, Simpplr Inc. & Jyoti Notani, Persistent Systems Ltd

Monday June 15, 2026 12:20pm - 12:45pm IST

Lotus 2

Many organizations exploring MCP already operate large microservice ecosystems. A common first instinct is to mirror that architecture directly—one microservice becomes one MCP server, and each API becomes a tool. While simple in theory, this often creates too many servers, overlapping tools, poor discoverability, and unnecessary operational complexity.

This session explores how to design MCP boundaries for real enterprise environments instead of copying existing service boundaries. I’ll walk through practical patterns for grouping capabilities, aggregating multiple services behind task-oriented tools, and exposing interfaces optimized for agents rather than internal architecture diagrams.

We’ll also cover how different agents can safely consume shared MCP services, along with key considerations such as ownership, versioning, permissions, observability, and scaling MCP across many teams.

A short demo will show how a well-designed MCP layer can simplify complex multi-service workflows.

If your organization already has dozens or hundreds of services, this session will help you adopt MCP intentionally - without repeating old patterns in a new protocol.

Your AI Chatbot Just Exposed Your CEO’s Salary To an Intern: Securing Enterprise AI Agents - Hasini Samarathunga & Sahan Dilshan, WSO2

Monday June 15, 2026 12:20pm - 12:45pm IST

Lotus 3

Have you ever worried that your new AI Agent might be a little too helpful? Imagine an intern asking an HR chatbot, "What is the CEO's salary?" and the bot, designed to be helpful, promptly fetches it.

As we equip LLMs with tools via the MCP to query internal systems, we introduce a significant data privacy risk if the agent cannot distinguish who is making the request.

In this session, we’ll explore the critical intersection of IAM and AI agents. You’ll see how to implement fine-grained access control and “on-behalf-of” user execution in MCP servers. By securely propagating user context, an agent ensures that when the CEO queries salary data, the data is delivered, but when an intern makes the same request, the system restricts it.

We’ll also dive into the “Human-in-the-Loop” (HITL) pattern, a safeguard that pauses high-risk actions for explicit human approval. You’ll learn how to design secure-by-default MCP architectures using standard authentication flows, zero-trust permissioning, and HITL workflows to keep your AI agents aligned, controlled, and trustworthy.

Stateful AI Agents: Building Consistent Systems With MCP and Distributed SQL - Nasiullha Chaudhari, YugabyteDB & Vanshika Jain, Brudite Private Limited

Monday June 15, 2026 12:45pm - 1:10pm IST

Lotus 1

An agent processes a payment, hits a timeout, and retries. Now the payment has been charged twice. The model didn’t hallucinate. The workflow did exactly what it was told. The problem is that nobody designed the agent to be safe under retry.

This is a distributed systems problem.

When agents read data, take actions, and write results back, correctness depends on how state is managed across steps. Under retries or concurrent execution, the same workflow can produce conflicting outcomes.

This talk shows how to build stateful AI agents using the Model Context Protocol with a PostgreSQL-compatible distributed database. Instead of treating memory as embeddings, we treat it as structured, transactional state.

You will learn how to design MCP tools for database operations, manage multi-step workflows, and handle failure modes such as retries and idempotency. We will also explore consistency tradeoffs in distributed systems.

The session ends with concrete patterns for building reliable agents, including idempotent tools and safe retry design.

Your MCP Server Is an Attacker's Dream: A Security Playbook From Real-World Assessments - Akash Mahajan, KLOUDLE Inc.

Monday June 15, 2026 12:45pm - 1:10pm IST

Lotus 3

MCP servers are quickly becoming the default interface between AI agents and production systems.

This speed has a cost. Most teams shipping MCP servers today are repeating the same security mistakes like overprivileged tool definitions, missing input validation, no transport-layer auth, and blind trust in what the LLM sends downstream.

This talk presents a practical security assessment playbook for MCP servers, built from hands-on penetration testing and security assessments of real MCP deployments.

We'll walk through the three-five most common vulnerability patterns seen in the wild.

- tool poisoning
- permission escalation
- transport misconfiguration
- server-side request forgery through tool arguments

For each vulnerability class, you'll see how the attack works, why it slips past code review, and what the fix looks like in practice.

Attendees will walk away with a repeatable methodology for assessing the security posture of any MCP server before it hits prod. Whether they built it or adopted it.

Designing Low-Latency MCP Systems for High-Throughput Data Pipelines: Architecture and Bottlenecks, - Partha Sarthy, Applied Materials

Monday June 15, 2026 3:50pm - 4:15pm IST

Lotus 1

MCP simplifies AI-tool integration — but in high-throughput, latency-sensitive pipelines, its performance characteristics can quietly become the bottleneck. Iterative reasoning loops, sequential tool invocations, and context amplification compound in ways that are easy to miss in development and impossible to ignore in production.

This talk presents a structured decomposition of end-to-end MCP latency — reasoning, communication, execution, and coordination — giving engineers a precise framework for identifying where overhead actually lives. We then present targeted optimizations: parallel tool invocation, streaming responses, schema minimization, and intelligent caching.

The core architectural argument: MCP belongs on the control plane. Separating adaptive orchestration from data-plane execution preserves deterministic performance where it matters, while keeping model-driven flexibility where it adds value. A fast path versus intelligent path pattern follows naturally from this separation. A case study comparing naive and optimized pipeline implementations makes the gains concrete.

MCP Elicitation in the Wild: When Agents Ask for Too Much - Kaiwalya Koparkar, Gravitee.io

Monday June 15, 2026 3:50pm - 4:15pm IST

Lotus 3

Elicitation is one of MCP's most powerful and least governed features. It lets servers request additional input from users at runtime, enabling richer, more dynamic agent interactions. But in production environments, elicitation also opens a surface for agents to request sensitive data they shouldn't need, bypass approval flows, or trigger unintended actions under the guise of a helpful prompt. This session examines elicitation as a runtime governance problem: what it is at the protocol level, where the security boundary sits between server and client, and how to enforce limits on what agents can elicit without neutering the feature entirely. Drawing on real implementation experience, the talk covers policy patterns for elicitation scope control, audit logging of elicitation events, and the UX tradeoffs of locking it down. Attendees will leave with a clear framework for deciding when elicitation is safe, when it needs guardrails, and how to implement those guardrails in a running MCP deployment.

100 Agents in 100 Days: Patterns and Anti-Patterns for MCP-Based Multi-Agent Systems - Harish Kotra, Forge Alumnus

Monday June 15, 2026 4:15pm - 4:40pm IST

Lotus 2

Multi-agent systems on MCP are where most of the interesting architectural questions live: routing, state, retries, coordination, and what happens when any one of N tool calls misbehaves. Most talks on the topic are theoretical. This one is not.

Since early 2026 I've published one new AI agent every day at dailybuild.xyz. Many of them are multi-agent: price-war simulations, research pipelines, a local agent orchestration studio, a recursive research loop, human-in-the-loop travel planners, and a "swarm CFO" with policy-gated spend. Dozens of them plug into MCP servers.

In this session I'll pull out the ten orchestration patterns I now use by default when MCP is in the mix, and the ten I've thrown out. Topics include: why single-agent-with-many-tools usually beats a team of agents until it suddenly doesn't; how to design a router that survives tool-name collisions across multiple MCP servers; state strategies that don't rot; retry and compensation patterns for idempotent vs non-idempotent tools;

Every pattern in the talk is tied to a specific public build with working code, so attendees can go verify, fork, or challenge anything I claim.

Starling: Building a Pay-as-you-go MCP Server for Live Kubernetes Ops - Avinash Patil, Warble Cloud

Monday June 15, 2026 4:15pm - 4:40pm IST

Lotus 1

Most MCP demos stop at "hello world over stdio." Shipping a production MCP server means answering harder questions: How do you authenticate callers? How do you meter usage? How do you safely hand an LLM a live Kubernetes cluster without giving it the keys to prod?

This talk walks through Starling, a production MCP server that exposes 17 Kubernetes tools — from list_pods to scan_cluster — to Claude, Cursor, and VS Code. It runs live on GKE at ops-mcp.warblecloud.com, charges credits per tool call, and handles ephemeral kubeconfigs without ever persisting them.

We'll cover concrete design decisions: dual-transport architecture (stdio for desktop agents, HTTP for remote), a Firestore-backed credit ledger with atomic per-tool debits, mode-gated write tools (scale_deployment only when --mode=readwrite), and the security model for handing an LLM temporary cluster access.

Attendees leave with a working mental model for turning an MCP prototype into a billable, multi-tenant service — plus the exact auth, transport, and RBAC patterns they can lift into their own servers.

Securing MCP Servers for the Enterprise: OAuth 2.0, Keycloak, and Spring Boot in Production - Vishal Singh, Quest2travel

Monday June 15, 2026 4:15pm - 4:40pm IST

Lotus 3

The MCP spec mandates OAuth 2.0 for HTTP-exposed servers, but most tutorials stop at "add a Bearer token." Enterprise deployments demand more: dynamic client registration, tool-level authorization, token introspection under load, and audit trails for compliance.

This session builds a production-grade MCP server with Spring Boot and the MCP Java SDK, secured by Keycloak. We cover: mapping OAuth scopes to MCP tool permissions, rate limiting per client credential with Bucket4j, wiring OpenTelemetry traces through the MCP request lifecycle, and handling edge cases at scale — token clock skew across distributed agents, graceful degradation when the IdP is unreachable, and preventing prompt injection from leaking privileged tool responses.

Attendees leave with a working architecture adaptable to any identity provider and a clear mental model of where MCP security ends and application security begins.

What a Database Team Discovers Building an MCP Server - Sfurti Sarah, Yugabyte & Heather Downing, YugabyteDB

Monday June 15, 2026 4:40pm - 5:05pm IST

Lotus 1

Most MCP servers in production were built by AI teams. Meko's was built by a distributed SQL database team, and the view from this side of the stack is different.

Coming from storage, some decisions were obvious from day one. Memory, knowledge, conversation history, and structured data belong on one cluster, not four. Tenant isolation is a schema problem. The datapack, our per-agent namespace, fell out of the same instinct that builds any multi-tenant database.

Other decisions we only got right the second time. We started with a deployment model that gave every user their own MCP server, and pivoted to a shared fleet once we saw how real usage patterns played out. We shipped tools for capabilities that turned out to belong in skills. We learned where the language model needed a tight, opinionated surface and where it needed more room.

This talk is the story of what we brought to MCP from the database side, what we discovered once real agents started using it, and the pivots we made, including the ones still in flight.

Building Interactive Tools With MCP Elicitation - Ashwin Hariharan, Redis

Monday June 15, 2026 5:35pm - 6:00pm IST

Lotus 2

Most of us think of agent tools as vending machines - you put in the right input, you get the right output. Put in the wrong input, and you either get the wrong output or nothing at all.

This breaks for complex workflows where context is incomplete or intent is ambiguous. The tool either guesses wrong or fails outright. No back-and-forth, no clarification. Good AI tools built for conversation should explain what they need, what they'll do, and provide clear options.

In this session, we’ll look at how MCP elicitation works in practice across different workflows: covering ambiguous input, missing context, risky operations, and auth flows. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns for designing tools that go beyond transactional APIs to collaborative multi-turn interactions.

Why Your MCP Server Needs Real Users — Implementing OAuth and Dynamic Client Registration for MCP - Tamil Vanan Karuppannan, Arcesium & Achanandhi M, EY

Monday June 15, 2026 5:35pm - 6:00pm IST

Lotus 3

ost MCP servers today ship with a simple setup: plug in an API key or a shared credential, and you're good to go. That works fine for a weekend hack, but the moment you bring MCP into an enterprise, things start to fall apart. You don't want MCP clients storing static usernames and passwords — that's a security incident waiting to happen. You can't tell who did what, you can't enforce fine-grained access control, and your security team is not going to be happy. What enterprises actually need is for users to authenticate through their existing SSO, get access to MCP servers based on who they are and what they're allowed to do, and have every action tied back to a real identity for audit and compliance.

In this talk, we use the OpenSearch MCP Server as a concrete example to show why this matters and what we can do about it. We'll walk through extending the server to support OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Flow with PKCE and Dynamic Client Registration (DCR), following the MCP authorization spec.

Who Do You Trust? Securing Multi-Agent MCP Systems in Healthcare - Yuvraj Pradhan, MIT ADT University & Archana Kumari, MIT ADT University

Monday June 15, 2026 6:25pm - 6:50pm IST

Lotus 3

An LLM caught my friend’s condition that doctors took two months to confirm. We asked: what happens when multiple specialised models review the same case together?

We built ConsensusMed on MCP. Each specialist model for a medical domain runs as an independent MCP server, and an orchestrator coordinates their outputs and decides what to trust when models disagree.

Multi-agent clinical systems face real attack surfaces:

- A malicious MCP server can exfiltrate OAuth tokens and impersonate legitimate users
- Prompt injection in clinical reports silently shifts outputs before consensus
- Tampered model weights corrupt findings with no OAuth scope catching it

So we built a trust layer directly into MCP:

- An MCP interceptor proxy redacts PHI using NER before any tool call reaches a specialist server
- The chairman verifies SHA-256 hashes of model weights against Ed25519-signed manifests before spawning
- Specialists run as stdio subprocesses. They never bind to a port. Network access is structurally impossible.

For regulated environments, we built an air-gapped MCP registry that operates entirely offline with cryptographic verification before execution.
