MCP Dev Summit Bengaluru 2026

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is now an LF project, and that's fantastic news for the open source ecosystem. Last year MCP servers went mainstream fast, linking up AI models with apps, data and systems. Whether you are managing it or not, hundreds of people are already using MCPs within your company. Unfortunately, many IT teams are discovering this adoption, not planning it.

This talk provides a quick intro to the MCP ecosystem, and presents a four-stage maturity model for MCP adoption, from tracking shadow MCP development to secure, enterprise-wide deployment. You'll learn where your organization actually is (most are Stage 1 or early Stage 2), what infrastructure you need for each stage, and how to build the process and policies to turn MCP from a risk into an enabling technology.

This model is based on patterns from real deployments and hundreds of engagements with engineers dealing with this right now. I'll touch on MCP development, security, management, operations and how to get these incredibly useful tools into the hands of more and more users within your company.
