From API-Centric Integration to Agentic AI: Building Secure, Intelligent Enterprise Systems with Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Abstract:

Enterprise integration has evolved significantly over the past two decades, moving from traditional point-to-point middleware and service-oriented architectures to cloud-native, API-centric, and event-driven integration platforms. However, organizations continue to face challenges in managing complex integration landscapes, handling failures, ensuring data consistency, and maintaining operational reliability across distributed enterprise systems.

The emergence of Agentic Artificial Intelligence and Model Context Protocol (MCP) introduces new opportunities to make enterprise integration more intelligent, adaptive, and autonomous.

This talk explores how AI agents, MCP-based tool connectivity, and API-centric architectures can work together to support intelligent enterprise operations. It discusses the architectural transition from conventional middleware to AI-assisted integration, including context-aware monitoring, automated root-cause analysis, governed tool orchestration, and intelligent exception handling.

Drawing from practical experience with SAP Integration Suite, enterprise APIs, cloud platforms, and business-critical integration scenarios, the session presents a reference architecture for connecting AI agents with existing enterprise integration environments.

The presentation also examines important considerations related to security, zero-trust principles, human-in-the-loop controls, agent governance, and operational reliability.

The session aims to provide researchers, technology professionals, and students with a practical understanding of how intelligent integration architectures can be designed and adopted responsibly in modern enterprises.
