MCP + UiPath with RF Quantum SCYTHE so ops, bots, and agents all talk to the same “GPU broker / denoise oracle / geolocation brain” safely.
What MCP buys you (and what to watch)
- Decouple tools from frameworks. MCP exposes SCYTHE as a set of tools on an MCP server; any MCP client (LLM agent, desktop host, or even a thin shim inside UiPath) can discover and invoke them via reflection, over stdio or SSE/HTTPS. That’s the whole point of MCP’s client–server model.
- Runtime tool discovery (“reflection”). Clients enumerate capabilities (name, schema, params) at run-time—no hard binding to LangChain/AutoGen/etc.
- Health of the ecosystem is decent but young. Median 5.5 commits/week and ~42% CI adoption; still early, but trending positively.
- Security realities: ~7.2% of servers show general vulns; credential exposure (3.6%) is the top class; MCP-specific “tool poisoning” ~5.5% has been observed. Design with audit, auth, and least privilege from day one.
Target Architecture (thin, shippable)
A. SCYTHE Core (already have)
- FastAPI service exposing:
/gpu/hints,/denoise/hints,/gpu/stats- search & index endpoints (MultiSubspaceFaissIndex)
- voice guard (XLS-R) checks
- geolocation (AoA/TDoA/soft-triangulator) scoring
B. MCP Server for SCYTHE (new)
- Wrap the same FastAPI ops as MCP tools:
gpu.suggest_batch(qos, task) -> {batch}(reads rolling p95)denoise.suggest_strengths(qos, bands[]) -> {strengths:[…]}(your new per-band vector)signals.search(query_embedding, goal_task, topk) -> [{id,score}]geoloc.tdoa_residual(pairs, xy) -> {loss, residuals}voice.guard(score_only:bool) -> {prob, verdict}
- Transport: SSE/HTTPS for remote; stdio for on-box agents.
C. UiPath “RPA glue” (you already started)
- Option 1 (simplest now): Robots call FastAPI directly with HTTP Request activities; use your
/gpu/hints+/denoise/hintsfor closed-loop batch+clean decisions. - Option 2 (MCP-native later): A tiny UiPath → MCP client shim activity that:
- Performs MCP capability discovery on startup; 2) calls
gpu.suggest_batchanddenoise.suggest_strengths; 3) posts metrics back (latency/QPS) for the rolling windows.
- Performs MCP capability discovery on startup; 2) calls

Your MCP server just proxies to the FastAPI logic you already wrote, then returns structured JSON; thanks to reflection, the client (agent or UiPath shim) can discover these schemas at runtime.
Secure-by-default checklist (do this before exposing)
- Kill credential exposure: no secrets in code or YAML; use env-only + sealed vault; add secret scanners in CI. Community servers leak keys surprisingly often.
- AuthN/AuthZ: mTLS or OIDC on SSE endpoints; per-tool RBAC (e.g., robots can call
gpu.*/denoise.*, notgeoloc.*). - Human-in-the-loop policy: require explicit approval for destructive or expensive tools; disable auto-approval. (Auto-approve was flagged in real servers studied.)
- Tool-poisoning guard: allow-list tool names + parameter schemas server-side; lint prompts; log & rate-limit. Tool poisoning showed up in 5.5% of scanned servers.
- Transport: enforce TLS, no insecure cipher suites; hard fail on cert errors. Transport weaknesses were observed in “pure MCP” repos.
- Auditing: ship SBOM + CI scans; the ecosystem’s CI adoption is ~42% and build success high—match or beat it.
UiPath wiring pattern
Robot loop (HTTP or MCP):
GET /gpu/hints?qos=default&task=bank_x→ batchPOST /denoise/hints {qos, bands:[0..N-1], hints:{entropy,tdoa_residual}}→ strengths[band]- Process batch with those strengths; push /gpu/stats with observed p95 + QPS.
- Export denoise_strength{tenant,band} via your Prometheus exporter for Grafana.
This makes batch and per-band cleaning self-tuning in lockstep.
Migration guide (today → MCP-ready)
- Stabilize JSON contracts of the FastAPI endpoints (you’ve done most of it).
- Wrap them as an MCP server (stdio + SSE). Expose the two “hints” tools first.
- Drop in UiPath HTTP bots now; pilot an MCP client shim activity later.
- Wire CI with SonarQube + secret scanners; run mcp-scan in CI to catch MCP-specific issues. (Ecosystem tools are young, but still catch real problems.)
- Ship Grafana row (batch curves + per-band strengths) and Prometheus recording rules + Alertmanager routing you already drafted.
Where MCP and SCYTHE especially shine for you
- Scheduling intelligence as a shared tool: your
/gpu/hints+/denoise/hintsbecome a standard capability any agent or RPA flow can call—zero forked SDKs. - Multi-tenant fairness: the same hints serve UiPath queues, Blue Prism processes, and LLM agents—consistent QoS knobs.
- Compliance posture: a single hardened MCP surface (authz, audit, rate-limit) is easier to defend than many bespoke ad-hoc endpoints.
