Agents are only as useful as the systems they can reach, and for most enterprises the system of record still runs on IBM i. This session introduces the IBM i MCP server, an open-source Model Context Protocol implementation that gives any compliant agent governed access to Db2 for i and the platform underneath it. We will cover how the server exposes SQL execution as a tool, how it inherits IBM i's existing authority model rather than inventing a new one, and how it fits a multi-client setup where the same backend serves Bob, an internal assistant, and your own custom agents. The session includes a live walkthrough against a real IBM i system, an honest look at the security boundary, and a working starting point you can clone and run on your own box. By the end you will know where this server belongs in your architecture and how to stand it up.
