⭐ Silsila Spotlight: How GitHub Approached MCP at Scale Sam Morrow (GitHub) walked through the realities of shipping and operating GitHub’s MCP server — one of the first large, production-grade implementations in the ecosystem. Catch his full talk here: https://lnkd.in/dJ78fdAZ

🕵♂️ Silsila Highlights: What does it take to make an MCP server enterprise-ready? At the 5th MCP Agent Silsila, Tobin South (WorkOS) broke down what it means to secure agentic infrastructure at scale. Here's what stood out: - OAuth over API keys — Especially when users aren't developers. OAuth enables scoped access, revocation, and safer authorization flows. - The building blocks of agent identity — Client ID metadata, M2M auth, and on-behalf-of flows let enterprises verify, control, and audit agent actions. - The future of MCP may be invisible — When agents handle workflows silently across Gmail, GitHub, and Zillow, the UI disappears. Users just see outcomes. 📹 Check it out here:  https://lnkd.in/dFM3hxDN

⭐ Hackathon Spotlight: Atlantis by Anirudh ⭐ What if you could spin up an AI-powered system technician that understands MCP? At the LastMile AI x MongoDB x Tavily Hackathon, Anirudh created Atlantis—a modular system maintenance agent that can run diagnostics, check system health, retrieve information, and help troubleshoot issues through natural language. Atlantis uses the Model Context Protocol to connect a central agent with multiple specialized MCP servers. It brings together 🛠️ - A custom MCP server for Windows command execution and local diagnostics, powered by LastMile's MCP-C - Tavily's MCP server for real-time search and troubleshooting context - MongoDB Atlas for session logging and tracking The system focuses on clear task routing and safe execution, making it easier to handle everyday troubleshooting scenarios without manual intervention.   👇 Check it out here: 🔗 Repo https://lnkd.in/dkztTkmM 📹 Demo: https://lnkd.in/dsCQSehE 

🚨 Hackathon recap: Two weeks ago, we teamed up with MongoDB and Tavily to host an MCP Agents Hackathon in NYC — and the projects were next level! Here are the winning teams: 🏆Best Overall + Best Tavily Project: MCP Bakers – Saketh Pabolu & Anish Kolan 🏆Best LastMile AI Project: Codesmashers – Anirudh Chandrasekaran 🏆 Best MongoDB Project: SemSearch AI – Derrick Brandt Massive congrats to all the hackers who shipped thoughtful, useful, and creative AI agents over the weekend, you made this way more than a hackathon. Shoutout to Yashwanth for organizing, and to Sofia (Tavily) and Michael (MongoDB) for co-hosting it with us. 🙌

Last week we wrapped up one of the 🔥 Silsila Sessions. Huge thanks to everyone who joined live and to our incredible speakers for going deep on what it really takes to make MCP agents production-ready: • Sam Morrow (GitHub) — broke down how GitHub runs MCP at hyperscale, plus the tradeoffs between atomic tools and higher-level workflow tools. • Tobin South (WorkOS) — unpacked the practical realities of OAuth, agent identity, and enterprise-grade authentication. • Sarmad Qadri (LastMile AI) — shared upcoming MCP spec updates and how they unlock more advanced agent behaviors. Favourite insight from Sam: "Atomic tools give you flexibility, but too many create context bloat and tool confusion -- workflow-style tools are where agents really shine." 📺 Catch the full episode here 👇 https://lnkd.in/eXT5JYib

NYC: Join us for the Agentic AI Hackathon 🤖 Tavily is teaming up with MongoDB User Group NYC and LastMile AI for a weekend of building, learning, and shipping real AI agents. We'll kick off Friday, Nov 21st (4–8 PM) at MongoDB HQ, followed by a weekend of remote hacking. Whether you're crafting an autonomous research agent, a retrieval tool, or a fully-agentic workflow, this is your chance to build something real with the community 🚀 Plus... The winner of the Tavily prize gets a fast-track interview with our Engineering Recruiting team! Sign up 👉 https://lnkd.in/efxqU6BH
