From Experiment to Enterprise: How Block Operationalized MCP at Scale

At Block, we've moved beyond experimentation to implement MCP across our entire organization, integrating it into everyday workflows. And not just within engineering. Teams across the company, from legal to marketing, now utilize MCP to automate their work. This talk will explore our journey from initial adoption to company-wide deployment, highlighting how we've leveraged MCP to build Goose, an open source MCP client, and how it's been configured to connect with an array of MCP servers while meeting our security and compliance requirements. Attendees will gain insights into practical strategies for deploying MCP in enterprise environments, including server curation, access control, and user adoption.
