The Model Context Protocol (MCP) standardizes how AI models connect to enterprise data, but migrating from a local developer environment to mission-critical infrastructure fundamentally expands the enterprise attack surface. Without rigorous architectural boundaries, an MCP server transitions from a context-provider into a vector for network-level and execution-level exploits.

This session serves as the definitive architect's guide to the MCP lifecycle. We will cut through the AI hype to deconstruct the protocol’s architecture, mapping the exact threat models and operational realities of "Day 2" production environments.

Rather than theoretical use cases, this talk focuses on the mechanical realities of the protocol. We will explore how autonomous reasoning loops interact with transport layers, unpack recent SDK vulnerabilities, and define the architectural patterns required to operate multi-tenant data agents securely.
