The Model Context Protocol (MCP) enables AI clients to interact with external tools and services, moving execution from local processes to remote servers hosted in cloud or SaaS environments. While this offers scalability, direct connections between AI clients and remote MCP servers introduce significant security risks, including credential sprawl and uninspected data payloads. To address these vulnerabilities, an AI gateway like Bifröst is proposed to act as a centralized control plane, enforcing access controls, rate limits, and payload inspection for all tool interactions.
