Keynote: Operating MCPs at Enterprise Scale: Uber’s Journey - Meghana Somasundara, Agentic AI Lead & Rush Tehrani, Head of Engineering, Agentic AI Platform, Uber Technologies, Inc.

Thursday April 2, 2026 9:50am - 10:05am EDT

Broadway Ballroom (6th Floor)

AI Agents at Uber may need to navigate a massive ecosystem of 1000s of services, handle sensitive data, and execute critical business logic. To enable this, we are moving towards an agentic future which leverages a unified Model Context Protocol (MCP) infrastructure to access real-time services.

We will share the architectural lessons learned from deploying MCP at an enterprise scale. We will dive into three key technical pillars of our strategy:

1. Protobuf-Driven MCP Servers: How we leverage existing services and protocol buffers to automatically generate MCP servers, providing safe and instant access to 1000s of microservices.
2. Derived Tools and Description Overrides: Why static tool definitions aren't enough for complex workflows. We’ll demonstrate how we allow developers to override and refine MCP tool descriptions via "derived tools," ensuring agents have the specific context needed for particular workflows.
3. Evaluate quality: How we evaluate quality of MCP tools, leveraged in our no-code Agent Builder, which is a tool that democratizes agent building at Uber.
