Agent Gateway for MCP

What Agent Gateway for MCP does

Agent Gateway for MCP is the control plane for enterprise MCP. It lets teams:

• Deploy managed MCP Servers — spin up, version, publish, and deprecate MCP endpoints on a governed path instead of shadow deployments.
• Turn any of the 5,000+ apps, databases, APIs, and services Tray connects to into MCP Tools — every app Tray.ai connects to can become an agent tool with appropriate auth and scope. Compose multiple connectors into one tool call.
• Control access — per-workspace isolation, per-user scopes, policies around which agents can use which tools against which data.
• Audit everything — every MCP tool call traced to a user, agent, purpose, and outcome. Token costs, latencies, errors all observable.
• Authenticate flexibly — OAuth, API keys, JWT, signed requests, centrally rotated.

Why it exists

MCP adoption is moving faster than MCP governance. Research across 2025-2026 consistently shows double-digit percentages of unmanaged MCP servers carrying critical vulnerabilities. Gartner projects 40% of enterprise MCP deployments will be affected by security incidents by 2027 without governance.

Agent Gateway for MCP is the pattern for adopting MCP safely: keep the velocity MCP enables, add the governance enterprises require.

How it fits Tray.ai

Agent Gateway for MCP is a pillar of the Tray.ai platform, alongside Merlin Agent Builder, Intelligent iPaaS, Data Engineering, and Governance & Trust.

J.W. Pepper is the clearest example in production: 500+ MCP tools reduced to about 20 governed workflows, with zero raw database access, launched in weeks.
