“Operationalising AI Agents at Scale: Microsoft Foundry Hosted Agents with MCP Tooling”
As AI agents move from experimentation to production, the challenge shifts from model capability to orchestration, governance, and scale. This session explores how Microsoft Foundry Hosted Agents and Model Context Protocol (MCP) tooling enable developers to build, deploy, and operate production-ready agent systems using standardised, composable interfaces. We will show how MCP connects agents, tools, and external systems, while Foundry provides a managed runtime with enterprise-grade security, identity, and observability. Attendees will learn how to design modular, reproducible architectures aligned with DevOps and GitOps practices. Through a practical walkthrough, we will demonstrate MCP tool integration within hosted agents, enabling dynamic tool use, external system connectivity, and multi-agent coordination. We will also cover key operational considerations including RBAC boundaries, data-plane versus control-plane access, and debugging strategies. This session is for AI engineers and developers looking to move beyond prototypes and build scalable, reliable agent systems.

“From Prototype to Production: Engineering Agent Systems with MCP, Multi-Agent Patterns and Real Work”
MCP is quickly becoming the standard way for AI agents to interact with tools, APIs, and external systems. However, connecting a model to a tool is the easy part. The real challenge begins when agents must make decisions, coordinate workflows, recover from failures, and operate reliably in production environments. In this fast-paced, demo-driven session, we'll explore the engineering patterns that transform MCP-powered prototypes into production-ready agent systems. Using real-world examples built with Microsoft Agent Framework, Microsoft Foundry, and MCP, we'll demonstrate how agents can safely interact with tools, orchestrate workflows, and deliver meaningful outcomes beyond simple chatbot scenarios. Through live demonstrations, attendees will see common agent orchestration patterns including sequential workflows, supervisor routing, multi-agent collaboration, and human-in-the-loop approvals. We'll also examine practical lessons learned around tool design, observability, debugging, identity, security, and governance. Rather than focusing on prompts alone, this session concentrates on the software engineering practices required to build reliable agent applications. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of where MCP fits into modern agent architectures, the patterns that work in production, and the mistakes that commonly prevent agent projects from moving beyond the prototype stage.
