What about your future mission?

The Problem Statement
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is becoming the standard for connecting AI assistants to systems and data. However, there is currently no standardized way to expose an MCP Server through a Dataspace Connector (EDC).
The challenge is to design a mechanism where an MCP Agent (acting as a "Data Product") can be discovered, negotiated for, and accessed via the EDC, leveraging the same underlying datasets as the organization's standard data products.
Mission & Objectives
As a Master's Thesis intern, you will act as a generic bridge builder between the world of AI Agents and Sovereign Data Exchange. Your main goal is to provide a reference implementation for exposing MCP Agents via EDC.
Key responsibilities include:
* State of the Art & Analysis:Deep dive into the Eclipse Dataspace Components (EDC) architecture (Control Plane, Data Plane, Transfer Process).Master the Model Context Protocol (MCP) specification.Analyze how an MCP connection (JSON-RPC over WebSockets/Stdio) can be proxied or managed by an EDC Data Plane.
* Architecture & Design:Design a solution where an MCP Agent is registered as an EDC Asset.Define how Usage Policies (ODRL) in EDC apply to an AI Agent (e.g., "You can query this agent 100 times" or "You can only ask about Topic X").
* Implementation:Develop an extension for the EDC (in Java) or a specialized Data Plane to handle MCP traffic.Implement a mock MCP Server that wraps a sample dataset.Ensure the "Agent" shares the same data context as the raw data product, ensuring consistency.
* Proof of Concept (PoC):Demonstrate a flow where a Consumer (e.g., an LLM client outside the organization) negotiates a contract with the EDC to gain access to the internal MCP Agent.
Technology Stack
* Core Framework: Eclipse Dataspace Components (EDC), Java.
* AI/Agent Standard: Model Context Protocol (MCP), JSON-RPC.
* Infrastructure: Docker/Podman, Kubernetes, Gradle.
* Protocols: HTTP, WebSockets.
What you will learn
* Sovereign Data Exchange: You will become an expert in how companies share data without losing control (Gaia-X, IDSA concepts).
* Agentic AI: You will work with the newest standards in how LLMs interact with external world data.
* Open Source Contribution: Opportunity to contribute findings or code back to the Eclipse foundation or open-source community.
* System Architecture: Designing high-level interactions between distributed control planes.
Candidate Profile
* Final year student in Computer Science or Software Engineering (Master's degree).
* Strong knowledge of Java.
* Understanding of REST/HTTP APIs.
* Curiosity about Generative AI, LLMs, and the "Agentic" future.
* Ability to read complex technical documentation and specifications.
