Improving Reliability in MCP Applications Through Tool Design - Yashasvi Misra, Pure Storage
Tuesday June 9, 2026 10:55am - 11:20am IST
Convention Hall
Modern MCP applications depend on tools to extend model capabilities, yet tool interface design is a primary source of unreliability. Ambiguous descriptions, poorly structured schemas, and inconsistent outputs often lead to incorrect tool selection, invalid inputs, and unpredictable system behavior. This session introduces a practical framework for designing reliable MCP tools. We begin with a...

MCP in Production: OAuth, Session Isolation, and Audit Trails for Remote Servers - Rajan Sharma, Ispace INC
Tuesday June 9, 2026 10:55am - 11:20am IST
Scarlet 2&3
MCP demos are easy. Production MCP is not. Once a remote MCP server touches real data or privileged actions, a successful tool call is not enough. Teams need OAuth 2.1 done correctly, least-privilege scopes, protected resource metadata, audience-bound tokens, secure session handling, gateway-aware controls, and audit trails that explain who requested what and what the server actually did.

Intelligence Placement Patterns for MCP-Connected Agent Systems - Giri Venkatesan, Solace
Tuesday June 9, 2026 11:20am - 11:45am IST
Convention Hall
MCP standardizes how tools are described and invoked, but not what they should return. That leaves a critical decision open: whether an MCP tool returns raw data, shared state, or decisions. That choice determines where intelligence lives. This talk presents three placement patterns in MCP tool design. Centralized Intelligence treats tools as data sources, returning raw inputs agents must...

Tuesday June 9, 2026 3:20pm - 3:45pm IST

We had 47 runbooks in Confluence. During incidents nobody used them. So I converted them into MCP server tools where an agent picks the right steps based on what it sees in the cluster. This was working fine until two things went wrong. One, the MCP server had the same service account as our CI pipeline. Too many permissions. Agent went and listed every secret in the namespace.

Most teams treat MCP as a pipeline, and that is the problem. Pipelines fail silently.

From Intent To Production: MCP Gateway Patterns for Regulated Banking - Hariskumar Panakkal, Wipro
Wednesday June 10, 2026 11:00am - 11:25am IST

I spent the last year building agentic systems with MCP and MCP Gateway, and want to share what I learned — especially the things you only hit when you try to build for a real, regulated domain. The build is a four-part system: a React portal, a LangGraph agent, Microsoft MCP Gateway as the front door, and a FastMCP server with 19 tools behind it. This talk walks through how the pieces fit...

Beyond Tools and Resources: A Deep Dive into MCP Sampling for Agentic Features - Kevin Vaz, Smartbear
Wednesday June 10, 2026 11:00am - 11:25am IST
Scarlet 2&3
Most MCP servers are one-shot: the client asks, the server answers. But some features need the server to reason mid-execution like summarise a diff before returning it, classify input to pick the next step, recover from ambiguity instead of failing, generating new data. That's what sampling unlocks: the server calls back into the host's LLM, without ever holding its own model keys. This deep dive...

Wednesday June 10, 2026 11:00am - 11:25am IST

Every agent today answers one question at the auth layer: is this agent allowed to do this? Wrong question.

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.

SEO for Agents: Designing MCP Endpoints That Let Agents Evaluate Each Other Before Transacting - Manav Agarwal, Dream11
Wednesday June 10, 2026 11:25am - 11:50am IST
Scarlet 1
When humans hire someone, they ask questions first. Check reviews, compare, negotiate. AI agents can't do any of this. An MCP flight booking server says: "I book flights." Another agent can't ask: How many routes? Success rate? Can you get business class upgrades? I tore down top MCP servers across mcp.so, Smithery, Glama, PulseMCP.

Why Your Database MCP Should Never Talk To Your Database - Gowtham Raj Elangovan, Comcast

The Stdio Deadlock Nobody Warned Us About: OS-Level Process Management for MCP - Yuvraj Pradhan, MIT ADT University & Archana Kumari, MIT ADT University
Wednesday June 10, 2026 3:20pm - 3:45pm IST
Scarlet 2&3
When we moved our multi-agent MCP system from REST to stdio transport, the protocol schema was not the problem. OS pipes have no safety nets. When a model silently segfaults mid-inference, it does not send a JSON-RPC error. It just dies. The orchestrator sits blocked on a stdout.readline(), which never comes. Then we hit the pipe buffer deadlock. Inference engines are noisy. They dump token...

Beyond Containers: Sandbox Architecture for MCP Tool Execution at Scale - Vikram Vaswani, Self Employed - Consultant
Wednesday June 10, 2026 5:15pm - 5:40pm IST
Scarlet 1
MCP gives us a clean abstraction for agents calling tools. But it doesn't talk about security: what if the tool does bad things? For read-only tools returning structured data, a shared-kernel container is fine. For the growing class of MCP servers exposing code execution, the attack surface that produced CurXecute (CVE-2025-54135 and CVE-2025-59944), containers are the wrong primitive, because a...

Managing Token Usage in MCP Servers Using Code Mode - Bhumika Satpathy, Google
Wednesday June 10, 2026 5:40pm - 6:05pm IST
Convention Hall
As the ecosystem for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) expands, developers are hitting a familiar wall: token bloat. While MCP provides a powerful standardized interface for LLMs to interact with external data, the "context tax" of verbose tool definitions and massive data payloads can quickly degrade performance and spike costs. To build production-ready agents, we must move beyond basic...

Multilingual MCP: Making Tool Calling Work for the Next Billion Users - Samyuktha Mohan Alagiri, IBM
Wednesday June 10, 2026 5:40pm - 6:05pm IST
Scarlet 1
MCP's tool schema, server descriptions, and routing logic are overwhelmingly designed around English. That assumption quietly breaks when you build for users in Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, or Bengali. This talk is a ground-up look at where MCP falls short for Indic language users and what it takes to fix it. The specific failure modes covered include: intent ambiguity in tool selection when queries...

Extending MCP: Writing Custom Protocol Extensions Without Breaking Compatibility - Saurabh Mishra, Optum/UnitedHealthGroup
Wednesday June 10, 2026 5:40pm - 6:05pm IST
Scarlet 2&3
MCP's real power lies not just in what it defines, but in what it leaves room for. As teams push MCP into production, the need to add custom capabilities streaming responses, domain-specific metadata, proprietary auth flows runs headfirst into the risk of breaking existing clients and servers. This talk walks through the practical discipline of extending MCP without fracturing compatibility: how...

Why We Built a CLI Instead of an MCP Server for Jupyter Notebooks — and What We Learned - Lahari Chowtoori, AWS
Wednesday June 10, 2026 6:05pm - 6:30pm IST
Scarlet 2&3
Jupyter notebooks are essential for AI agents, yet the .ipynb JSON format is token-heavy and fragile for LLM manipulation. While an MCP server seemed like the obvious solution, we instead built nb—an open-source Rust CLI designed for agentic workflows. This talk explores the design decisions behind nb and our move away from standard tool schemas: - The Sentinel Format: Why line-oriented @@cell...

Why Our AI Agent Couldn't Scale Without MCP — and How We Built It - Para Hitesh & Mohit Jichkar, Red Hat
Wednesday June 10, 2026 6:05pm - 6:30pm IST
Convention Hall
Building an AI sales assistant means pulling data from everywhere , Salesforce for accounts, Snowflake for product catalogs, and internal KBs for pricing. We started by hardcoding each integration into the agent. It worked until every new data source meant rewriting agent code, duplicating auth logic, and redeploying everything. Tool definitions were tightly coupled, making it impossible to evolve...

Your MCP Server Answers Every Call. Should It? - Atulpriya Sharma, Improving
Wednesday June 10, 2026 6:05pm - 6:30pm IST
Scarlet 1
Your MCP server works. Every tool call executes. But do you know who made that call, whether they were allowed to, and whether it should have required a human to approve it first? Most MCP servers today operate on implicit trust. If an agent can connect, it can run anything - usually without any identity checks, boundaries, or logs. That works in dev. In production, a misconfigured agent or a...
