MCP Dev Summit Seoul 2026

We started running MCP servers in production about a year ago. Within weeks we got our first 3 AM page, a tool was silently failing, agents were retrying into the void, and we had zero visibility into what was going wrong. No dashboard caught it. No runbook existed. That incident kicked off a twelve-month journey of figuring out how to actually operate these things. We ended up cutting agent-related incidents by about 70% and got tool invocation P99 under 500ms.

This talk is the playbook we wish we had on day one. We'll cover the stuff that bit us: health checks that go beyond HTTP 200 and actually validate MCP protocol readiness, how to handle deployments when connections are stateful, what to put on your observability dashboards (and what turned out to be noise), and circuit breaker patterns for when an upstream tool starts misbehaving. We'll also do a quick demo of a monitoring setup we've been running.
