APIs changed the web. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is changing AI. In this deep dive, Mihai takes you under the hood of the new interoperability layer that's powering 15,000+ AI tools and servers across the ecosystem.This session focuses on building real, working MCP servers in Python and understanding how they connect through ContextForge: [https://github.com/IBM/mcp-context-forge](https://github.com/IBM/mcp-context-forge) \- an open source MCP Gateway and Registry that serves as a central hub for tools\, resources\, and prompts accessible to MCP\-compatible LLMs\. ContextForge converts REST APIs to MCP\, composes virtual MCP servers with added security and observability\, and bridges protocols such as stdio\, SSE\, and Streamable HTTP\.

**Key Takeaways**: Build secure, scalable MCP Servers to drive AI Agents. See how MCP and ContextForge work together to make AI tools interoperable, secure, and production-ready.

**Speaker Designation:** Mihai Criveti, Distinguished Engineer for AI Agents at IBM

**Speaker Bio**: Mihai Criveti is a Distinguished Engineer for AI Agents at IBM and leading the development of ContexForge - the open source Model Context Protocol (MCP) Gateway and Registry. He shapes Agentic AI standards across IBM and is building a team in Dublin to advance ContextForge and its global adoption. His work focuses on platform engineering, AI orchestration, and open systems that accelerate real-world AI adoption.

***P.S: ContextForge team is hiring. Read on and apply.***

From team ContextForge:
We're looking for highly motivated Python Developers - from early-career engineers to senior contributors — to join the ContextForge MCP & A2A Gateway team at IBM Software. ContextForge - [https://github.com/IBM/mcp-context-forge](https://github.com/IBM/mcp-context-forge) is an open-source, production-grade gateway, proxy, and registry for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and A2A Agents, unifying discovery, authentication, rate-limiting, observability, and federation across distributed AI and REST ecosystems

Application portal: [https://ibmglobal.avature.net/en_US/careers/JobDetail?jobId=71800](https://ibmglobal.avature.net/en_US/careers/JobDetail?jobId=71800)

GitHub - IBM/mcp-context-forge: A Model Context Protocol (MCP) Gateway & Registry. Serves as a central management point for tools, resources, and prompts that can be accessed by MCP-compatible LLM applications. Converts REST API endpoints to MCP, composes virtual MCP servers with added security and observability, and converts between protocols (stdio, SSE, Streamable HTTP).
