The MCP Gateway during SF a16z TechWeek
- WHO IT IS FOR: This event is designed for AI engineers, platform and infrastructure teams, security leaders, and technical founders building agentic systems.
- WHAT IT IS ABOUT: The session explores the MCP gateway as a secure infrastructure layer for managing tool access, permissions, and connectivity for AI agents.
- FORMAT: This is a practical, developer-focused technical discussion and networking session.
As AI agents become more autonomous, the need for secure access to real-world tools and enterprise data has never been more critical. Join Open Future Forum during SF a16z TechWeek for a deep dive into the MCP gateway—the essential infrastructure layer that bridges the gap between intelligent agents and the systems they inhabit.
We will move beyond the hype to tackle the practical engineering challenges of the agentic web, including secure tool discovery, authentication, policy enforcement, and observability. Attendees will explore how a unified gateway allows engineering teams to manage credentials, routing, and human-in-the-loop approvals from a single, controlled point of truth.
Whether you are building API integrations or managing large-scale enterprise deployments, this discussion offers a candid look at the architecture required to operate agentic integrations safely and reliably at scale. Come prepared to engage with the builders defining the next generation of secure AI connectivity.
