📌Overview

Purpose: To provide a distributed runtime system for federated AI services with robust edge computing capabilities.

Overview: The AI Federation Network is designed to implement the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for efficient federated AI service integration. It establishes a standardized architecture enabling AI systems to utilize varied data sources while ensuring secure and context-aware interactions across multiple servers.

Key Features:

  • Federation Controller: Manages communication between different MCP servers, facilitating seamless data access across federated AI applications.

  • Proxy Layer: Ensures secure authentication between federated servers, enhancing trust and security within the network.

  • Multi-Transport Support: Enables both local and remote connections through various protocols (stdio, HTTP with Server-Sent Events), ensuring flexibility in how AI systems connect and communicate.

  • Security Framework: Implements comprehensive security measures, including federated authentication, encrypted communication, and capability negotiation to protect data and access.

A distributed runtime system for federated AI services with edge computing capabilities.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) with Federation Support

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) enables federated connections between AI systems and various data sources through a standardized architecture.

This implementation provides a foundation for building federated MCP systems that can scale across multiple servers while maintaining the protocol’s security and standardization requirements. The federation layer enables seamless communication between different MCP servers, allowing AI systems to maintain context while moving between different tools and datasets.

The implementation supports both local and remote connections through multiple transport mechanisms, including stdio for local process communication and HTTP with Server-Sent Events for remote connections.

Security is maintained through strict capability negotiation and user consent requirements.
