The MCP Gateway that pays for itself.

An MCP gateway sits between AI agents and the tools they call over the Model Context Protocol. It decides which agent can call which tool, with whose credentials, and records every call, so security teams set policy in one place instead of once per MCP server. Gateways differ in where they sit. Some proxy existing MCP servers, and others publish tools built directly on each system's API. Tray.ai's Agent Gateway for MCP does the second: it turns any of the 5,000+ apps, databases, APIs, and services Tray connects to into governed MCP tools, with every call made as a named user and recorded in one audit log.

Most major integration platforms now support MCP, including Tray.ai, Workato, Zapier, n8n, Boomi and MuleSoft. They differ in what comes with it. Tray.ai's Agent Gateway for MCP publishes governed MCP tools over every Tray connector, with each call made as a named user, access set per operation, and every call recorded in an audit log. Composite tools do a multi-step job in one call, which cuts token use and makes the steps run the same way every time.

Agent Gateway for MCP gives every agent one governed MCP layer instead of a separate MCP server for each system. Rather than running one server for Salesforce, another for Jira and another for Slack, each with its own credentials and logs, Tray connects to those systems' APIs directly and publishes the tools through one layer. Teams can also publish composite tools that do a multi-step job in one call. Each call is tied to a named user and can run on their own credentials, is scoped to what the tool is for, and is recorded in one audit log, whichever AI client makes it.

No, and it does not need to. Instead of routing agents through each vendor's MCP server, Agent Gateway connects to the system's API directly through Tray's connectors and publishes governed MCP tools on top. That means one less server to run and secure, credentials held and scoped by Tray, and an audit record for every call. If you need a specific vendor's MCP server to stay in the path, Agent Gateway does not sit in front of it.

No. Agent Gateway for MCP governs MCP regardless of the client. Bring Copilot Studio, Claude, OpenAI, your own framework — Agent Gateway for MCP enforces the same policies across all of them.

IDC named Tray.ai a Major Player in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Agentic AI Platforms 2026 Vendor Assessment (#US54140926, 12 October 2026). Gartner named it a Pioneer in the 2026 Emerging Market Quadrant for No-Code Agent Builders, and included it in its 2026 Hype Cycles for Agentic AI and Agentic Automation.

Anthropic measured 58 tools across five popular MCP servers consuming about 55,000 tokens before a conversation starts, because every tool an agent can see loads its definition into the context window, used or not. A composite tool replaces dozens of raw tool calls and their definitions with one, and returns only the fields the task needs, which cuts token use by up to 10×. It is also more predictable, because the steps run the same way every time.

Region-specific hosting and on-premise connectors are available on Enterprise plans — so MCP Tools can operate on data that never leaves your network.

2026 is the tipping point for enterprise MCP adoption — and the window to get governance right before it sprawls. Gartner predicts 40% of enterprise MCP deployments will be hit by security incidents by 2027. Agent Gateway for MCP is how enterprises move fast without inheriting the risk.
