Invent & Simplify
Essays on distributed systems, machine learning in production, and the craft of simplifying enterprise technology — written in the open.

MCP's 2026-07-28 revision removes sessions from the protocol — but the state doesn't disappear, it moves through the client as an integrity-protected blob you now have to defend. What actually changed, what the coverage got wrong, and which kind of server you need to know you're building.
KAIROS is a personal AI operating system built on a Neo4j knowledge graph, MCP integrations, and agents on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. Here's the stack, the design decisions, and what broke along the way.
Deploying AI tools shouldn’t require a DevOps degree. This guide shows developers how to deploy custom tools built with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Runtime in under 3 minutes. You’ll learn how to set up OAuth2 authentication with Amazon Cognito, launch a fully scalable HTTPS endpoint, and monitor performance—all without managing servers, containers, or scaling logic. Whether you’re building your first tool or scaling a fleet of agents, this is the fastest way to go from local script to production-ready AI infrastructure.
