AI agents need access to real tools and data—but every new connection introduces questions about identity, permissions, security, reliability, and control. Join Open Future Forum during SFTechWeek for a practical, developer-focused discussion about the MCP gateway: the secure infrastructure layer between AI agents and the systems they need to use. We’ll explore how a unified gateway can give agents controlled access to tools, APIs, databases, and enterprise platforms while giving engineering teams one place to manage policy, credentials, routing, and observability. Topics will include: - MCP gateway architecture and deployment patterns - Secure tool discovery, connectivity, and routing - Authentication, authorization, credentials, and secrets - Policy enforcement, permissions, and human approvals - Observability, audit logs, rate limits, and failure handling - Enterprise requirements for operating agent integrations at scale This session is for AI engineers, platform and infrastructure teams, security leaders, API builders, technical founders, and anyone building agents that must connect safely to production systems. Come ready for a candid technical conversation with the people building the gateway layer for the agentic web. This event is a part of #SFTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
