Bank cuts integration design time 60–70% with an MCP gateway
Problem
At Mashreq, designing and troubleshooting a system integration took engineers 2 to 3 hours per task.
Agent / tool
IBM Bob, IBM's coding-agent platform, plus Context Forge, an MCP gateway that gives agents secure access to API specs, architecture standards, and banking systems.
Outcome
In the pilot, these tasks dropped to minutes, with 60 to 70% less time spent on design and troubleshooting. About 4,000 agent requests a month go through the gateway.
