Presentation: Automating the Web With MCP: Infra That Doesn’t Break
Nobody is talking about this: The infrastructure that makes AI agents actually work on the web is a distributed systems nightmare.
Why it matters
As AI agents move into production, the unsexy but critical problem isn't the model—it's building secure, scalable cloud infrastructure that can handle stateful browser automation without breaking. This presentation reveals how teams are solving multi-tenancy, security, and state management at scale using MCP and Firecracker.
