Cloud Foundry Summit 2026

Cloud Foundry has quietly become the platform powering agentic AI development across Broadcom's engineering org. This is the story of how that happened.
When Broadcom's Global Technology Organization rolled out AI coding assistants to developers, the hard part wasn't the model; it was governance. MCP is still an early, fast-moving standard, not yet enterprise-ready, and giving agents access to internal tools raised real stakes: protecting intellectual property, keeping the software supply chain intact, and preserving data privacy. GTO's first instinct was to lock MCP servers down, but that restriction blocked the very goal of scaling coding assistants across the company. The real problem wasn't whether to allow MCP; it was how to enable it safely.
This talk shows how GTO used Cloud Foundry as the application platform for Model Context Protocol servers: pushing MCP servers as first-class CF apps, fronting them with platform routing and identity, chaining agent functions across internal tools, and gaining the per-server observability needed to tune performance and control costs.
