Best Practices of Enterprise MCP Adoption
Sheng Liang, Co-founder & CEO
đź“… Tues. Aug 12
⌚ 4:40pm – 5:00pm
Organizations seeking to leverage MCP servers to enhance business processes face several challenges. How can we make sure that the tens of thousands of MCP servers on the market are safe to use? How can we implement enterprise-level authentication and access control? How can we enable in-house developers to build AI agents and applications on these MCP servers? In this talk, we will discuss the lessons and best practices learned from building MCP servers and clients, and explain the roles and responsibilities that enterprise IT and AI teams can play in the MCP ecosystem.
Attend Our Workshop:
Bringing Model Context Protocol to the Enterprise: From Chaos to Catalog
Craig Jellick, Co-founder & Director of Engineering

⌚ 10:30am – 12:30pm
đź“Ť Room 105
What if you could plug cutting-edge open-source tools directly into your enterprise AI applications and workflows—without compromising on security or governance? In this workshop, I’ll introduce the Model Context Protocol (MCP), explain how it works and show why it has become THE standard for integrating LLMs with all the applications, APIs, and other tools enterprises already use on a day-to-day basis. I’ll walk through the practical constraints of adopting MCPs in enterprise environments—where open-ended access simply isn’t an option—and demonstrate how to build a centralized, OAuth-secured MCP catalog that scales. I’ll illustrate how to consume MCPs safely across clients, applications, and internal tools, and I’ll demo how to use them to build a real, useful AI chat assistant. You’ll leave with a clear path to leveraging MCP in your organization—securely, productively, and fast. Join me to unlock the next layer of AI extensibility for the enterprise.
