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

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

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

Sunday June 14, 2026 11:40am - 12:40pm IST

**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.

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

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

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.

Building Autonomous Mobile Agents With MCP - Srinivasan Sekar & Sai Krishna, TestMu AI

Sunday June 14, 2026 5:40pm - 6:05pm IST

Most developers encounter MCP as a way to give chat assistants better tools. This talk blows that ceiling off.
Using two open-source projects, Appium MCP and AppClaw, we'll show how MCP becomes the backbone of a fully autonomous agent that controls real Android and iOS devices without a human in the loop. The agent perceives a live UI tree, reasons about what to do next, calls MCP tools to act, observes the result, and loops handling stuck states, recovering from failures, and decomposing multi-app goals on its own.
We'll go deep on the architecture decisions that make this work in production: how dynamic tool discovery lets the agent adapt to new capabilities at runtime without code changes; how parsing raw UiAutomator2/XCUITest XML into compact representations makes mobile UI fit inside an LLM context window; why dual vision (DOM-first with screenshot fallback) beats either strategy alone; and how stuck detection transforms a fragile demo into a reliable engineering tool.
Attendees will leave with a concrete mental model for building agentic systems on MCP and an understanding of why the protocol matters far beyond tool-calling alone.

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 6:05pm - 6:30pm IST

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.

The Benchmark That Almost Convinced Us MCP Was Wrong - Ravi Madabhushi, Scalekit

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

We ran 75 benchmark runs comparing CLI and MCP for identical agent tasks. CLI won every efficiency metric.

For the simplest task like identifying a repo's language — CLI used 1,365 tokens. MCP used 44,026. That's a 32x difference, almost entirely schema overhead: 43 tool definitions injected into every conversation, most never touched.

CLI was also 100% reliable. MCP failed 28% of the time like TCP-level timeouts on a remote server that never responded.

If we'd stopped there: use CLI, skip MCP, move on.

But that benchmark tested one scenario: a single developer automating their own workflow. Not what production agent products look like.

The moment your agent acts as your customer's employees inside their orgs, across services they control — CLI becomes a liability. It inherits your credentials. Can't scope per user, per org, or per action. There'd be no audit trail and no consent as well.

The data is real. CLI is faster, cheaper, simpler. For personal dev tools, use it.

But if you're building a product with data that belongs to someone else, CLI works in demos. You won't catch the problem until a customer asks why your agent touched their Salesforce without asking.

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

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

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"

Rethinking Testing for MCP Servers - Puja Jagani, BrowserStack

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

MCP servers introduced a new kind of client: one driven by an LLM. Unlike traditional clients, this one is non-deterministic. It can call tools in unexpected sequences, with unpredictable inputs.

We can’t reliably test how an LLM will call our tools. This makes the MCP server the only component under our control and the one that must be tested rigorously. A well-designed server is a well-tested server.

While reviewing several popular MCP servers, I found that “works correctly” often means testing happy paths and checking that tool descriptions exist.

This talk introduces a practical testing model for MCP servers. Attendees will learn how to treat tool descriptions as functional contracts in their tests, how to design tests that cover real-world and deliberate out-of-order tool call sequences, essentially what an LLM would attempt, and how to validate error channels so that, when things go wrong, the server returns errors that are actually useful for an LLM to recover or respond appropriately. These are practical techniques that can be applied immediately.

The goal is to establish a testing mental model that can keep up with the fast-moving MCP ecosystem.

MCP: The Gateway To Real-Time Human–AI Collaboration in Jupyter at Scale - Jake Diamond-Reivich, Project Jupyter

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

Jupyter Notebooks are critical medium for code, data, and ML, demanding a paradigm shift for AI assistance. With Jupyter's real-time collaboration and cloud-native evolution, it's becoming a powerful portal to a full data platform, beyond mere notebooks.

This session explores MCP as the essential framework for human-AI synergy within this expanded Jupyter ecosystem. Leveraging Jupyter's extensibility, MCP expands its API, opening gateways to services across the entire data, ML, and AI landscape. By extending Jupyter’s real-time collaborative models, MCP enables AI agents to seamlessly co-create alongside human developers. This integration moves beyond traditional AI coding assistance, fostering true parallel work without conflicting edits, eliminating friction and accelerating development.

The speakers will give the live demo showing how MCP provides the blueprint for connecting AI assistance directly with the Jupyter environment, both locally and in the cloud. This empowers builders to redefine human-AI interaction and unlock unprecedented productivity across the entire AI development lifecycle – from data preparation and feature engineering to LLMs fine-tuning and evaluations.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

Beyond Tool Calls: Unlocking Interactive, Token-Smart Agents With MCP Apps - Suraj B, HDFC Bank

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

MCP Apps are reshaping what a Model Context Protocol server can do — turning text-only tool exchanges into rich, interactive experiences embedded directly in the host. This session takes a builder's tour of the MCP Apps extension: core concepts, target use cases (dashboards, multi-step workflows, human-in-the-loop confirmations), the security model, and current limitations worth knowing before adoption.
A central theme is the visibility paradigm — letting UI carry state the model doesn't need to see, unlocking meaningful token savings on data-heavy flows. We'll cover iframe sandbox constraints, postMessage patterns, session-bound identity, and prompt-injection defenses for sensitive actions. We will also cover existing protocol limitations and work going on to address the same in exp-apps working group.
We close with a live Go-based demo executing a fund transfer flow end-to-end.

Building Interactive Tools With MCP Elicitation - Ashwin Hariharan, Redis

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

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.

The 5 Wrong Reasons To Build an MCP Server (And What To Do Instead) - Daniel Oh, IBM

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

MCP brings structure and standardization to how LLMs interact with tools and resources—but that power comes with cost. We’ve built multiple MCP servers across different use cases, and not all of them should have existed.
This session distills hard-earned lessons from real-world implementations: where MCP created long-term leverage, where it introduced unnecessary complexity, and where a direct API call would have shipped faster and cleaner. We’ll share a clear evaluation checklist you can use before starting your next build—so you choose MCP intentionally, not reflexively.
