MCP support in Envoy – Boteng Yao, Google, Software Engineer
This session will delve into the technical impacts of MCP on network proxies, exploring why MCP’s structure (e.g., body-based attributes) and potential statefulness (e.g., Streamable HTTP sessions) require new thinking in traffic management, load balancing, and policy enforcement. Also will brief how to leverage Envoy’s native support and extensibility to build MCP aware networking features such as request inspection, dynamic routing, transcoding, session management, observability, and security. This talk will also give insights for how MCP and network proxies can evolve together to better support AI agent ecosystems.
