An engineering organization

Giving agents safe, governed access to production context

role: Designed and built the MCP server and provisioned the shared model infrastructure.

// problem

Agents are only as useful as the context they can reach. Handing them API keys or broad permissions to get that context is not acceptable in production.

// approach

  • An MCP server that exposes API data and operations tools to agents over two transports.
  • Per-environment Terraform and CI/CD for the server, like any other production service.
  • Shared model infrastructure for internal agents on a cloud AI platform, provisioned in Terraform: model deployments, quota, workload identities and least-privilege RBAC.

// architecture

// guardrails and production concerns

  • Workload identities instead of stored keys.
  • Least-privilege RBAC on model access.
  • Everything provisioned in Terraform, per environment.

// outcome

Agents get real context without leaked keys or over-broad permissions. AI is treated as infrastructure, with the same rigor as the rest of the platform.
