Beyond local tools: Deep dive into the Model Context Protocol (MCP)
This talk covers advanced Model Context Protocol (MCP) architectures for connecting AI to external data and tools, comparing deployment strategies, exploring MCP gateways, and discussing authorization and features. Attendees will learn practical implementation details, architectural trade-offs, and infrastructure considerations for building scalable, MCP-enabled AI systems.

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) standardizes how AI applications connect to external data and tools. Moving beyond local experiments, this talk explores advanced MCP architectures: local vs. remote server deployments, hosting and scaling strategies for remote MCP servers, and MCP gateways for unifying access and proxying to existing systems.
We'll also examine authorization patterns and features such as resources, prompts, sampling, and elicitation. Attendees will gain practical insights into implementations, architectural trade-offs, and infrastructure considerations for building MCP-enabled AI systems.

I work as a Senior Solutions Architect at Amazon Web Services and support companies with designing well-architected applications and running them in the cloud. Before that I worked for more than 10 years as a Software Engineer & Architect on distributed system design and monolith-to-microservice transformations. My recent work focuses on Serverless (Java), SaaS and Event Driven Architectures.
