The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is becoming a standard for AI agents to access external tools, but this creates governance challenges for enterprises. MCP gateways act as a central control plane to manage this access, enforcing authentication, policies, and logging. This guide reviews eight MCP gateways, evaluating them on criteria such as role-based access control, identity provider integration, tool-level policies, and audit logging. Bifrost and TrueFoundry are highlighted as top options, with Bifrost offering high performance and an open-source core, while TrueFoundry provides a Kubernetes-native platform with comprehensive governance features.
