Workshop: Enabling MCP at Enterprise Scale: Navigating Authentication and Governance Challenges - Shannon Williams & Chris Urwin, Obot AI

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

Lotus 2 (Level 3)

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

Enterprise adoption of the Model Context Protocol is accelerating — but the path from "MCP works on my laptop" to "MCP running securely across our organization" is windy and challenging.
Building MCP servers isn't particularly hard. The real challenges are OAuth, identity sprawl, and the governance requirements your security team will eventually land on your desk.
MCP servers should focus on tools, resources, and prompts — not rebuilding OAuth infrastructure from scratch every time. A dedicated identity and governance control plane absorbs that complexity once, rather than forcing every server to solve it independently.
In this workshop, we will:
1. Demonstrate how to integrated MCP servers with identity management tools
2. Show how to tailor MCP authorization by groups and policies.
3. Work through real governance scenarios by filtering MCP calls for PII or code injection.
4. Demonstrate how MCP traffic can be captured via an MCP gateway and used for compliance, monitoring and observability.

You'll leave with a clear picture of the architectural decisions ahead of you, and a better sense of what your security team is going to ask for before they sign off on scaling MCP adoption.

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.

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.

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.

OAuth Isn't Enough: Confused Deputy in Multi-Agent MCP Pipeline - Sankalp Sandeep Paranjpe, Big4 Consulting Firm; Vishal Alhat, AWS

Sunday June 14, 2026 4:20pm - 4:45pm IST

Lotus 2 (Level 3)

OAuth-based authentication is becoming the default foundation for MCP-enabled systems. However, while authentication is standardized, authorization across agent boundaries remains unresolved.

In multi-agent MCP pipelines, orchestrators delegate tasks to sub-agents that act using the user’s authority. This creates a classic confused deputy problem: a sub-agent executes with valid credentials, but under the influence of untrusted inputs such as prompt injections or malicious tool manifests. As a result, it can access or exfiltrate data beyond the user’s original intent.

This talk demonstrates how privilege propagation, not authentication failure, is the core risk.

I will present a three-layer enforcement model:

1) Token attenuation using RFC 8693 to restrict sub-agent privileges at delegation time
2) Policy enforcement using Open Policy Agent to treat every tool call as untrusted input
3) Structured audit trails to ensure post-incident analysis

Live demo: the same MCP pipeline executed twice, first with default delegation (resulting in silent data exfiltration via prompt injection), and then with all three controls applied, where the attack is blocked, logged, and auditable.

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.

Rethinking Agent–Database Access: A Secure Approach With MCP Toolbox - Shivay Lamba, Qualcomm & Anushka Saxena, Google

Sunday June 14, 2026 5:50pm - 6:15pm IST

Lotus 2 (Level 3)

Securely database connections in MCP based Agentic applications has become a critical challenge. Traditional approaches for connectivity introduce risks such as prompt injection, over-permissioned access, and lack of observability.

This talk introduces the Model Context Protocol (MCP) Toolbox for Databases, an open-source framework that standardizes how AI agents interact with data systems. By treating database access as a structured, reusable, and secure set of tools, developers can enable agents to perform meaningful operations while maintaining strict control over data exposure. Toolbox secures your agentic workflows for resources or tool executions
by acting as an OAuth 2.1 Resource Server that validates JWT Bearer tokens from your OIDC provider.

Through a real-world case study, we will demonstrate how to build an intelligent agent that combines semantic vector search with transactional workflows like inventory updates and cart management, all powered through a unified MCP configuration.

So join us to learn how MCP enables scalable, high-performance agentic architectures using efficient connection pooling, without compromising on security, observability, or control.

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.

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

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

Lotus 2 (Level 3)

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.

Journey to Build the LFX MCP Server - Manish Dixit, The Linux Foundation

Monday June 15, 2026 12:00pm - 12:25pm IST

Lotus 2 (Level 3)

The LFX ecosystem faced fragmentation, hundreds of siloed APIs and scattered data made simple questions complex and prevented AI agents from connecting. This talk chronicles the journey to build the LFX MCP Server, a 100% open-source solution that established a single, standard AI interface, enabling every LFX system to speak the same language. You will hear why MCP was chosen over custom integrations and learn about unexpected challenges, including securing authentication, managing permissions, and tackling immediate data quality issues. Finally, we share critical lessons learned, emphasizing the power of fewer, sharper tools and the necessity of governance from day one.

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

Monday June 15, 2026 12:30pm - 12:55pm IST

Lotus 2 (Level 3)

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.

The Sticky Session Bottleneck: Why MCP Agent Orchestration Breaks When You Scale - Yuvraj Pradhan, MIT ADT University & Archana Kumari, MIT ADT University

Monday June 15, 2026 2:25pm - 2:50pm IST

Lotus 2 (Level 3)

When we tried to scale our multi-agent MCP system beyond a single node, the orchestrator broke immediately.

Each model running on a different machine means the orchestrator had to track which models it called, which responses arrived, and which were pending. The moment the orchestrator restarted, everything was gone. Models got called twice. Responses were lost. Consensus became inconsistent.

Turns out this is the sticky session problem. And the ecosystem is still figuring it out.

As SEP-1442 is moving MCP toward a stateless-by-default transport model. But most deployments still depend on session affinity. When you are orchestrating models across distributed nodes, that dependency breaks everything.

This talk covers what we learned designing around it:

- Why multi-agent MCP orchestration creates hidden session dependencies
- How to decouple consensus state from the orchestrator process using structured event logs
- Migration patterns that preserve workflow correctness without session affinity
- Stateless MCP is not just an infrastructure concern. It is what makes multi-agent consensus reliable at scale.

Where MCP Ends and A2A Begins: and Why That Seam Is Breaking Your Agents - Arushi Garg, Adobe & MV Shiva, Google

Monday June 15, 2026 2:55pm - 3:20pm IST

Lotus 2 (Level 3)

Everyone's heard the AAIF framing: MCP handles agent-to-tool, A2A handles agent-to-agent. Clean in theory. In practice, every multi-agent system lives at the boundary of both, and that boundary has no standard.
Context gets dropped. Errors go silent. A state that survived an entire A2A task lifecycle vanishes the moment it crosses into an MCP tool call. Nobody is talking about this publicly.
This session replaces the "vertical vs horizontal" mental model with something more honest: a precise seam diagram showing what each protocol guarantees, what it doesn't, and what falls into the gap. We'll go deep on MCP's Tasks primitive (SEP-1686)- including its two admitted gaps: no retry semantics, no expiry policies. We'll map the real failure modes developers are hitting today, drawn from open GitHub issues across both protocol repos.
Then a live demo using Google's open-source A2A sample repo: no custom code. We'll run a real multi-agent task, cross the protocol boundary, sever the trace header, and watch the silent failure happen in real time.
You'll leave with a clear mental model, a three-point failure checklist, and a concrete picture of what the spec needs next.

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

Monday June 15, 2026 3:25pm - 3:50pm IST

Lotus 2 (Level 3)

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.

Building Interactive Tools With MCP Elicitation - Ashwin Hariharan, Redis

Monday June 15, 2026 4:50pm - 5:15pm IST

Lotus 2 (Level 3)

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.

Monday June 15, 2026 5:20pm - 5:25pm IST

Lotus 2 (Level 3)

Platform engineering has a chicken-and-egg problem: the platform needs adoption to justify investment, but adoption requires onboarding that teams resist when deadlines are tight. Our internal developer platform hit this hard. It serves 4,000+ developers across clouds and managed Kubernetes, yet many teams found the portal too unfamiliar.
We solved it with a second entry point built on MCP. Instead of learning a new UI, developers get 30+ platform capabilities directly in IDE chat, from namespace provisioning and Helm deployments to cost analysis and access management. An MCP App renders forms in chat, developers approve and execute, and a first deployment can happen with almost no onboarding.
This session covers the production architecture: sandboxed iframe-based MCP Apps, Elicitation for structured write approvals, an Adaptive Tool Router that keeps 30+ tool schemas from flooding the context window, a split between deterministic Agent Skills and ReAct reasoning, and a safety layer with a sub-500ms kill switch plus delegated RBAC tied to existing permissions. Attendees leave with a practical blueprint for meeting developers where they already work.

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

Monday June 15, 2026 5:50pm - 6:15pm IST

Lotus 2 (Level 3)

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.
