Keep your AI Applications Running. Even During Outages.

An MCP Gateway is a centralized control plane that securely manages access, discovery, and orchestration of MCP Servers across an enterprise. It acts as the operational backbone for agentic AI systems by enabling AI agents and applications to interface with enterprise tools via a standardized protocol. With support for authentication, RBAC, observability, and workflow execution, the MCP Gateway makes connecting and scaling intelligent systems seamless and secure.

An MCP Server (Model Context Protocol Server) is a standardized interface layer that wraps around enterprise APIs or tools, making them easily discoverable and callable by AI agents. When integrated with an MCP Gateway, each MCP Server registers itself, becomes accessible through a unified endpoint, and inherits enterprise-grade features like RBAC, federated authentication (via Okta, Azure AD), and observability, making orchestration across tools like Slack, Jira, or internal APIs effortless.

You can build an MCP Server using TrueFoundry’s SDK or your preferred backend stack. MCP Servers are containerized and typically deployed on Kubernetes or cloud-native infrastructure. Once live, they register with the MCP Gateway and are made available for secure discovery and task execution via agents or users, streamlining the AI integration pipeline.

The MCP Gateway provides several key features for enterprises. It offers unified access to all registered MCP Servers, instant discovery via a central registry, and secure access control with OAuth 2.0 and federated identity providers. It enables agentic task execution across tools, offers enterprise-grade observability with request-level tracing and audit logs, supports out-of-the-box and custom integrations (e.g., Slack, Datadog, internal APIs, among others), and ensures high-performance operation across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments.

There are various benefits of using an MCP Gateway in enterprise environments. It dramatically simplifies tool integrations, accelerates onboarding via prebuilt MCP Servers, and unifies security and compliance controls. It enables plug-and-play agentic workflows, supports distributed environments, and provides deep observability for cost and performance. The result is a scalable, secure, and maintainable AI system capable of handling real-time enterprise workloads with minimal engineering effort.

Authorization in an MCP Gateway is enforced through Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) policies integrated with enterprise Identity Providers such as Okta or Azure AD. Each MCP Server, endpoint, or tool function can be governed by specific access rules, ensuring only authorized users or agents can trigger actions or retrieve sensitive data.

Yes, the MCP Gateway and all MCP Servers fully support existing enterprise identity providers. Federated login via Okta, Azure AD, or custom SSO setups is supported out-of-the-box, enabling seamless integration into your organization's existing authentication and compliance stack.

You can integrate both standard and proprietary tools. MCP Gateway offers prebuilt MCP Servers for platforms like Slack, Confluence, Datadog, and Sentry. Additionally, you can create custom MCP Servers to connect any internal service, REST API, or data platform, extending orchestration across your unique tech stack.

Through the MCP Gateway, AI agents can autonomously discover, authenticate, and call MCP Servers. This enables them to execute multi-step workflows (e.g., “create a Jira ticket from Slack messages”), generate and run code, or orchestrate tools, all governed by standardized interactions and enterprise policies.

The MCP Gateway provides full visibility into every interaction with MCP Servers. It supports end-to-end tracing, metadata tagging (e.g., team, user, tool), and audit logging for compliance. Enterprises can monitor latency, usage, errors, and cost attribution in real-time, ensuring traceability and control across AI workloads.

Absolutely. The MCP Gateway is designed for production-grade deployments. It supports federated SSO, OAuth 2.0, dynamic discovery, multi-region failover, and role-based security, all while operating at high throughput under real-time enterprise load. It’s built to power large-scale, AI-first systems with confidence.
