Monday May 18, 2026 1:30pm - 2:10pm CDT
You have built your first MCP server and tested it with the MCP inspector, but it only uses stdio or streamable HTTP without HTTPS. Do you rewrite your server to add authentication and authorization, or is there a smarter way? What if you have multiple MCP servers? Can you unify them under a single virtual server without touching any of the originals? How do you deploy all of this to Kubernetes securely and reliably?

In this demo-driven session, Lin takes you from building a simple MCP server and securing it the hard way. Then she offloads authentication, authorization, and tool multiplexing to an MCP gateway. She will show how to deploy a virtual MCP server in Kubernetes and program an AI agent to call its tools, making complex setups feel effortless. By the end, you will have practical techniques to run, secure, and scale your MCP servers with confidence.
