MCP Dev Summit North America

Imagine being on-call at 3 AM: alerts fire, you scramble between the incident, monitoring dashboards, Slack, runbooks, and ticketing systems. Each tool switch drains cognitive capacity during your highest-stress moments.

Current reality: On-call engineers navigate 5-10 tools under pressure. Managers manually coordinate team responses. Stakeholders interrupt for updates. Result: burnout, delayed resolution, human error.

MCP-powered future: Natural language handles coordination, knowledge retrieval, and status updates. Responders focus on solving problems, not navigating tools. Managers orchestrate responses conversationally. Stakeholders self-serve information.

Attendees learn production patterns for building MCP servers that reduce human fatigue in critical operations: safety mechanisms for high-stakes automation, balancing AI assistance with human oversight, context preservation across operations, and testing strategies for mission-critical workflows.
