The Model Context Protocol (MCP), developed by Anthropic and now supported by major tech companies like OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft, has seen rapid adoption for connecting AI clients to tools and APIs. This widespread use has created a need for MCP gateways, which act as a control plane to manage AI agent access to these tools, thereby reducing the attack surface and providing essential governance features. Enterprise-grade MCP gateways offer capabilities beyond simple proxying, including identity federation, automated provisioning, audit logging, and role-based access control, which are crucial for compliance with regulations like the EU AI Act and standards such as SOC 2.
