MCP Gateway

Current MCP deployments and Agent-based architectures lack a consistent model for identity and access control, as MCP servers independently implement authentication and authorization, resulting in fragmented enforcement across environments

Solution Overview

The MCP Gateway centralizes identity, authentication, and authorization into a single enforcement layer for all MCP communications. By acting as an intermediary between Agents and MCP servers, it removes the need for individual services to implement security controls and instead applies consistent policy across all interactions, ensuring that all access is mediated, encrypted, and subject to uniform enforcement.

Product Highlights

Authentication Model

  • Strengthens identity assurance by combining OAuth with PKI-based authentication, giving Agents a cryptographic identity independent of any user
  • Establishes a unique cryptographic identity for every Agent using X.509 certificates to enable verifiable identity across secure agent-to-agent and user interactions
  • Prevents unauthorized access by verifying identity during session setup, ensuring trusted access from the start
  • Secures all interactions with mutual TLS (mTLS) at connection
  • Ensures accountability across activity for both human users and autonomous Agents through verifiable identity

Authorization and Policy Enforcement

  • Enforces access control using certificate-based identity and OAuth attributes to ensure only trusted actions are permitted
  • Defines trusted access boundaries by enriching Agent certificates with origin, scope, versioning, and intent data from the AI Bill of Materials (AI‑BOM)
  • Ensures early policy enforcement before application access to prevent unauthorized actions
  • Prevents Agents from operating outside their defined scope to reduce risk and misuse
  • Drives identity-driven, policy-based access decisions to maintain consistent control across interactions

Observability and Analytics

  • Provides centralized gateway for monitoring and analyzing Agent activity across systems
  • Captures all interactions, including resource access and usage patterns, enabling organizations to trace activity end-to-end across environments
  • Delivers full visibility into how Agents operate across systems
  • Associates every action with verified identity and provenance to allow attribution to a specific, accountable entity
  • Supports auditing, governance, and compliance while enhancing operational oversight with real-time observability and insights
