Beyond JSON-RPC: Scaling Model Context Protocols with gRPC

gRPC is an open-source, high-performance RPC framework long trusted to power distributed systems. As microservices evolve into AI agent tools via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), standard JSON-RPC transports struggle with production latency and serialization overhead.

This talk explores how adopting gRPC and Protocol Buffers as a pluggable transport brings minimal latency, high throughput, and enterprise reliability to the MCP ecosystem. We will cover the core architecture, client and server integration design patterns, and native security with mTLS and service meshes.

Whether you are a seasoned developer or just starting your journey in software development, this meetup will provide valuable knowledge and networking opportunities.
