Keynote: From UX to MX: Designing Software for Machines - Sam Partee, Founder, CTO, Arcade

Tuesday June 9, 2026 10:05am - 10:15am IST

Convention Hall

For fifty years, software has been built around one consumer: the human user. Every API pattern, every UX principle, every interaction model has assumed a person on the other end. In the last eighteen months, that assumption broke.

The consumer of software is increasingly not a person — it's a language model, reasoning about systems on our behalf. The Model Context Protocol is the first widely adopted standard for this new world, but MCP is just the skeleton. The real work — designing for the machine experience — is a discipline we are inventing in real time.

In this opening keynote, Sam Partee (CTO and Co-Founder of Arcade.dev) frames where we are, what's at stake, and why the builders in this room have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to define how software will be designed, secured, and consumed for the next decade.

MCP in Production: OAuth, Session Isolation, and Audit Trails for Remote Servers - Rajan Sharma, Ispace INC

Tuesday June 9, 2026 11:00am - 11:25am 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.

This session turns MCP’s security guidance into a practical production blueprint. I’ll walk through how to secure remote MCP servers end to end: when authorization is required, how to avoid token passthrough and over-broad scopes, where session isolation fails, what proxies and gateways must enforce, and what to log for debugging, compliance, and incident response.

Attendees will leave with a clear mental model, a reference architecture, and a concrete checklist for operating MCP clients, servers, and intermediaries safely in production.

MCP Schema Evolution: Versioning Tool Contracts Without Breaking Agents - Yogesh Sardana, Cloud Engineering Leader & Researcher

Tuesday June 9, 2026 3:25pm - 3:50pm IST

Convention Hall

This is just not about a single organisation but for every organisation, tool schemas in MCP evolve as platforms change parameters get renamed, new required fields are added, response shapes shift. Agents built against an older schema break silently, produce incorrect results, or enter undefined behavior, and there is no established SemVer discipline for MCP tools today. This session proposes a practical versioning specification for MCP tool definitions covering additive-only change policies, explicit deprecation signals embedded in tool metadata, capability negotiation via request headers, and client-side schema compatibility layers. The session demonstrates these patterns with a real Kubernetes tool server that ships v1 and v2 tool definitions side by side, with running agents targeting each version independently, and a live migration showing how a breaking change is introduced and absorbed without downtime.

Keynote: Architecting Internet-Scale Agent Skills with Managed MCP - Prashanth Subrahmanyam, Lead for Google Cloud DevRel in JAPAC, Google

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

Convention Hall

Local MCP prototyping is magic on a laptop, but scaling to production often triggers "Agentic Sprawl." To handle complex agent loops at scale, enterprises need a centralized architecture for integration, identity, and governance. This keynote explores Google Cloud’s full-stack vision for internet-scale agents. We will unpack the shift toward stateless MCP transports to solve multi-round-trip routing bottlenecks, show how Apigee converts legacy APIs into zero-code MCP skills, and highlight how developer tools like Antigravity and the Agent Development Kit (ADK) push the boundaries of AI from the cloud to the device.

Running MCP Fully Local: Private, Offline-Capable Agents With Ollama and Open Models - Harish Kotra, Forge Alumnus

Wednesday June 10, 2026 12:00pm - 12:25pm IST

Convention Hall

Over the last few months I've built and shipped 100+ agents in public, many wired into MCP servers running against local models through Ollama, LM Studio, and decentralized open-source inference. A draw.io MCP server driven by Llama 3.2, an Excalidraw MCP integration, a Bright Data MCP briefing agent, all running end-to-end without a single token leaving the host.

This talk is a working engineer's tour of that stack. We'll walk through a minimal local MCP setup (server + client + Ollama) and then dig into the real-world failure modes: tool-selection collapse on 7B models, JSON-schema compliance gaps, capability-negotiation mismatches, and the surprisingly large quality delta between structured-output fine-tunes and general chat models. I'll share the prompt shapes, tool-description patterns, and schema-validation tricks that reliably push small open models from "demo-grade" to "I'd ship this internally."

Attendees will leave with a reference architecture for private MCP, a shortlist of open models that actually handle tool calls well today, and a set of design patterns for MCP servers that degrade gracefully when the client LLM has 8B parameters instead of a trillion.

From MCP Discovery To Execution: Building a Governed Marketplace & Gateway for Agentic Systems - Rahul Ganesh Partheeban, Freshworks

Wednesday June 10, 2026 12:00pm - 12:25pm IST

Scarlet 1

We started building an MCP gateway in early 2025, when the spec was still maturing, and there were no established patterns for multi-tenant enterprise implementation.

This talk will delve into the key patterns we used for taking MCP from POC to Production. We'll also cover layering MCP as a gateway over an existing platform:

- Propagating tenant context through the MCP handshake, so a single gateway can safely serve thousands of accounts.
- Decoupling session state from pod affinity with a distributed session store — needed for horizontal auto-scaling and safe rolling deploys.
- A three-tier error model (protocol/gateway/application) so agents classify failures and retry intelligently.
- A sub-registry that extends the registry with vetting and curates trusted Remote MCP servers with per-tenant install state.
- Multi-tenant session and secret management with One-click install and OAuth 2.1 + Dynamic Client Registration handled by the marketplace, not by every AI client.
- MCP gateway that proxies to remote servers under shared FUP, rate limits, retries/circuit-breaking, and analytics - handling a black-box third-party server with guardrails.

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

Wednesday June 10, 2026 4:20pm - 4:45pm IST

Scarlet 2&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.

MCP Anti-Patterns: Mistakes Made While Building Agentic Systems for the Enterprise - Abhishek Pandit & Satyam Soni, NitroStack

Wednesday June 10, 2026 4:50pm - 5:15pm IST

Convention Hall

As enterprises adopt MCP to connect agents with internal tools, data sources, and business workflows, a new set of architectural challenges is emerging.
As organizations adopt MCP and AI agents, many encounter the same challenges: exposing too many tools, poorly designed interfaces, excessive context sharing, weak security boundaries, limited observability, unreliable agent behavior, and lack of governance. These issues often remain hidden during development but become critical in production.
In this session, we'll explore common anti-patterns teams make while building agentic systems for the enterprise and the lessons learned from APIs, distributed systems, and cloud-native platforms. Attendees will learn practical strategies for designing secure, scalable, observable, and maintainable agentic systems that move beyond demos and stand up to real-world enterprise requirements.

Why We Built a CLI Instead of an MCP Server for Jupyter Notebooks — and What We Learned - Piyush Jain, AWS

Wednesday June 10, 2026 5:20pm - 5:45pm IST

Scarlet 1

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 and @@output sentinels outperform deeply nested JSON for agent comprehension.
- Token Efficiency: How a single 800-token skills file replaced a complex MCP implementation, drastically reducing overhead.
- Content Hashing: Using SHA256 to solve output externalization and state management.
- Real-time Sync: Demonstrating collaborative editing via Y.js when bridged to a Jupyter server.

We’ll share benchmarks on task completion rates and token costs, and provide a clear framework for choosing between MCP servers and CLI-based skills. Attendees will learn when to leverage the simplicity of a CLI and when MCP’s multi-tenant auth and discovery are truly necessary.

Why Our AI Agent Couldn't Scale Without MCP — and How We Built It - Para Hitesh & Mohit Jichkar, Red Hat

Wednesday June 10, 2026 5:20pm - 5:45pm IST

Scarlet 2&3

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 the data layer independently.MCP changed everything. In this talk, I'll walk through how we built a production AI sales assistant using LangGraph connected to multiple MCP servers ,each wrapping a different backend, owned by a different team. I'll cover: why direct integrations become unmaintainable at 3+ sources; our reusable FastMCP server template that spins up domain-specific servers in days; how a user's SSO token flows end-to-end from agent through MCP to Snowflake OAuth with zero credential storage; why tool descriptions and agent prompts matter more than the protocol itself , and the patterns we developed (normalize-before-search, dynamic prompt injection) to make the LLM reliably pick the right tool; and what broke in production with real failures and real fixes.
