Summary

Ajay Prakash presented how LinkedIn uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to build a context layer for AI coding agents, supplying procedural memory, code search, and runbooks. Agents autonomously debug incidents like latency spikes by fetching instructions, logs, and recent changes, then creating summaries and pull requests. This approach delivered a 20% productivity boost with zero loss in reliability.
