Model Context Protocol (MCP) is becoming a key building block for agentic software. In this workshop, Rainer Stropek explains how MCP works behind the scenes, with a clear focus on operational aspects. Designed for DevOps specialists, the session covers protocols, authentication, and other essentials for running secure and production-ready MCP servers.
