Optimizing MCP for Agents - Featuring Github, WorkOS and LastMile AI

​Welcome to the MCP Agent Silsila Series

​Every three weeks, we host live sessions with experts to explore real-world applications of the Model Context Protocol (MCP), feature community projects, and showcase tools and agents pushing MCP to the next level.

​This session’s theme: Optimizing MCP for Agents

​We’ll dive into what it takes to build high-performing, production-grade MCP servers. Topics include:

• ​Key components of deploying MCP services in production

• ​Building MCP servers that serve millions

• ​The role of the MCP registry and supporting infrastructure

• ​Designing and optimizing MCP servers for agent use

​Featured Speakers:

• ​Sam Morrow – Senior Software Engineer at GitHub

  • ​Leading development on GitHub’s MCP server

• ​Tobin South – Secure AI Agents & MCP at WorkOS

  • ​Tobin leads the effort to make enterprise-ready agent tools with MCP at WorkOS

​About the Host:

​This session is hosted by Sarmad Qadri, CEO of LastMile AI and creator of mcp-agent, a simple, composable framework for building agents using Model Context Protocol (MCP).

​“Silsila” (سلسلہ) means chain of events in Urdu. We thought it was a fitting name for a gathering of builders, researchers, and developers working on modular, tool-using, agentic systems powered by MCP. (It was also the name we considered before settling on mcp-agent.)
