Built for Speed: ~10ms Latency, Even Under Load
Blazingly fast way to build, track and deploy your models!
- Handles 350+ RPS on just 1 vCPU — no tuning needed
- Production-ready with full enterprise support
TrueFoundry AI Gateway delivers ~3–4 ms latency, handles 350+ RPS on 1 vCPU, scales horizontally with ease, and is production-ready, while LiteLLM suffers from high latency, struggles beyond moderate RPS, lacks built-in scaling, and is best for light or prototype workloads.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Slack MCP server?
It’s Slack’s official remote Model Context Protocol server, hosted at https://mcp.slack.com/mcp. It exposes Slack as tools an AI agent can call — searching messages and files, reading channel and thread history, posting messages, working with canvases, and looking up users. Agents connect over a URL and authenticate with OAuth rather than running anything locally.
What tools does the Slack MCP server expose?
Search across channels, group DMs, DMs, files, and users; conversation history for channels, groups, and DMs; message sending; canvas read and write; and user profile lookup. Which are available depends on the OAuth scopes you grant the Slack app, and on TrueFoundry each tool can be individually enabled, disabled, re-described, or annotated.
Is the Slack MCP server safe to use in an enterprise?
Yes, with scoping — but the bar is higher than for a code-oriented server, because Slack holds private conversations. Three things do most of the work: per-user OAuth so each agent sees only its user’s channels, trimmed scopes so DM access and posting are never granted unless needed, and human approval on anything that writes.
Can I deploy TrueFoundry in my own VPC or on-prem?
Yes. TrueFoundry runs in your VPC, on-prem, air-gapped, or hybrid, so prompts and responses never leave your domain even as you route across many providers.
Does TrueFoundry support MCP and AI agents generally?
Yes. It includes an MCP Gateway, an Agent Gateway, and an MCP & Agents Registry with tool-level access control. Agents on LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or a custom framework can all be governed centrally.
هل يتكامل مع حزمة المراقبة الحالية لدي؟
نعم. البوابة متوافقة مع OpenTelemetry وتتكامل مع Grafana أو Datadog أو Prometheus أو حزمتك المفضلة. فهي تتتبع كل طلب من المطالبة إلى تنفيذ الأداة والنموذج، لتحصل على تسجيل موحد دون الحاجة إلى تغيير ما تستخدمه حاليًا.
