MCP Dev Summit Bengaluru 2026

As MCP-based systems grow in complexity, standardizing tool interaction alone is not enough to ensure reliable execution.

This talk introduces a control-plane perspective for MCP-based systems, grounded in distributed systems principles such as scheduling, retries, idempotency, and fault isolation. Coordinating multi-step workflows across MCP servers introduces challenges such as partial failures, inconsistent state, and retry behavior that can escalate under load.

The focus is on how a control plane actively manages execution, including deciding when and how tool calls are made, handling failures dynamically, and coordinating workflows across multiple services. It also examines how centralized control improves reliability and consistency in complex MCP-based systems.

Attendees will gain concrete mental models for building scalable and reliable MCP-based systems.
