From SF MCP Devs

[SF MCP Devs](https://www.linkedin.com/groups/21070085/?utm_source=luma) brings together AI engineers, developers, founders, and technical builders in San Francisco who are working with or exploring MCP, AI agents, tool calling, runtime control, and agent infrastructure. **This is an online free event.** **You can only RSVP on luma:** [https://luma.com/v8z5l347](https://luma.com/v8z5l347) This is a twice-a-month online event designed to create a practical space for people building or experimenting with agentic systems to connect, share ideas, discuss technical challenges, and learn from each other. ​We will discuss where MCP is heading, how developers are using it today, what problems teams are facing when building AI agents, and what the future of agent infrastructure may look like. ​ Each event will begin with two guest lightning talks from advanced engineers and builders, followed by 30 minutes of Q&A and open discussion. Attendees will have the opportunity to share their experiences, ask questions, and get practical insights from others working in the space. ​ Whether you are actively building with MCP, exploring AI agents, working on developer tools, or simply curious about the future of agentic systems, you are welcome to join. ​ **To keep the conversation focused and relevant, this is an approval-based event.** ​ **Agenda:** ​3:00 PM - Introductions & Welcome 3:10 PM - Two lightning talks by guest speakers, 10 minutes each 3:30 PM - Q&A and open discussion 4:00 PM - Closing **This is an online free event.** **You can only RSVP on luma:** [https://luma.com/v8z5l347](https://luma.com/v8z5l347) This event is co-hosted by DARI Ventures and Enforra. **About [ENFORRA](www.enforra.com):** Enforra is a runtime control layer for AI agents. ​It is an SDK developers can integrate in minutes to define what their agents are and are not allowed to do, including: * ​Allow/block policies * Approval workflows * Parameter-level controls * Fine-grained MCP enforcement * Audit logs and context graphs Website: [www.enforra.com](www.enforra.com) Follow Enforra on [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/enforra/) Join the community: [Slack](enforra.com/slack) and [Discord](enforra.com/Discord) **About [DARI Ventures](https://www.dariventures.com/):** ​DARI Ventures is an AI Venture Studio and Technology Incubator built at the intersection of technology, venture building, and the creator economy. ​We specialize in execution and help turn early-stage ideas into structured, scalable companies. Our work focuses on supporting tech-focused startups with product development, systems, teams, operations, and go-to-market execution. Follow DARI Ventures on [ Linkedln](https://www.linkedin.com/company/107878711/) **Open discussion topics:** ​MCP is quickly becoming an important layer in how AI agents connect with tools, APIs, data, workflows, and external systems. But many important questions are still open: ​• How should MCP servers be built? • How should agents safely call tools? • How do we control permissions, context, and risk at runtime? • How do we move from demos to reliable production systems? • What security and governance layers are still missing?

RSVP for Best of the Bay Business Referral Exchange!

Wed, Jun 3, 2:45 PM
From Best of the Bay Business Referral Exchange
5.0

We meet almost every Wednesday of the year; if we are "dark" for any reason (usually limited to Christmas and New Year's Day weeks, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, and sometimes the 4th of July week), you will be told as a response to your RSVP. We recently started meeting in person the 1st Wednesday of each month in downtown Oakland at an "Oakstop" location at 1721 Broadway #201 (street level; doors face sidewalk on Broadway). Metered on street parking (you can pre-pay before 8am, which is when charging for time actually begins; most close-by metered spaces are limited to 60 minutes though it might be possible to extend time via a parking app). There are also parking lots in the area. On all other Wednesdays each month we meet online via Zoom. When you RSVP for a meeting after your request to meet with us has been approved, or at the time of your initial request, please include a short description of your business and also include your contact information in case we need to reach you before the meeting. You can attend our chapter twice as a visitor (this Meetup group seeks to find visitors to our group as a first step toward formally joining Best of the Bay) before submitting a formal application to join. Please also let us know how many guests you want to bring and tell us something about what is/are their professions.
