Why We Deleted Our MCP Server and Rebuilt It — Abhi Arya, Reducto

AI Engineer — Oct 8, 2026 — talk

Why watch

Abhi Arya from Redcto shares lessons learned from building and deleting an MCP server that failed when deployed team-wide. He explains three approaches to agent software—auto mode, user-first, and agent experience—and demonstrates why one tool per API endpoint fails in practice. The talk covers rebuilding with fewer tools that carry real work structure, making uncertainty visible through confidence scores, and building instrumentation that creates self-improving loops. For developers building AI agents or MCP integrations.
