Two-day flagship conference for developers and contributors building with the Model Context Protocol, organised by the Linux Foundation in Amsterdam. The September 17-18 edition covers scaling MCP, secure orchestration, observability, and enterprise integration for agentic AI systems.
MCP Dev Summit Europe is the European edition of the Linux Foundation's dedicated conference for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) developer community. The event targets engineers, contributors, and platform architects working directly with MCP in production or research contexts. Sessions focus on technical depth: scaling MCP across enterprise deployments, securing agentic orchestration, adding observability to MCP-based systems, and integrating MCP into existing enterprise infrastructure.
The Linux Foundation positions this as a flagship event for the MCP community, held co-located with AGNTCon + MCPCon Europe at RAI Amsterdam. Linux Foundation and AAIF members receive a 20% discount on registration. The programme is technically focused, with sessions aimed at engineers who are already working with MCP rather than those evaluating it at a strategic level.
MCP is an open protocol for connecting AI models to tools, data sources, and systems. It was introduced by Anthropic and has been adopted across the AI tooling ecosystem as a standard for agent-tool interaction. The summit is for engineers actively building on or with MCP.
Yes. Both events run September 17-18 at RAI Amsterdam and are part of the same cluster of Linux Foundation and AAIF agentic AI events.
Linux Foundation members and AAIF (Agentic AI Foundation) members. Discount is applied at registration.
Business executives evaluating AI strategy without technical depth. Developers unfamiliar with MCP who are looking for introductory AI content. Attendees primarily interested in the broader agentic AI business narrative rather than protocol implementation. Non-engineers from product or design backgrounds.
RAI Amsterdam is one of the Netherlands' principal convention centres, located at Europaplein 24, 1078 GZ Amsterdam. It hosts large-scale technology, life sciences, and industry events throughout the year. The venue is accessible from Amsterdam Centraal via metro line 52 (RAI station) and is approximately 15 minutes from Schiphol Airport by train.
The Linux Foundation is a non-profit organisation that hosts and supports open source projects and communities. It organises a global conference calendar including KubeCon, CloudNativeCon, and a growing series of AI-focused events. The Foundation's involvement in MCP Dev Summit signals the protocol's trajectory toward open, community-governed infrastructure status.
The Linux Foundation's decision to establish a dedicated MCP summit signals that the protocol is moving from experimental to infrastructure-grade; this is where the specification debates and reference implementations will happen.
