Agent Gateway
Control how agents connect and act across your systems
Use the governed environment in Tray Merlin Agent Builder to define and manage Model Context Protocol (MCP), A2A, and other protocols so teams can extend agents without creating new risk.
Create and govern MCP servers and tools in one place
Agent Gateway provides governance for MCP, A2A, and other agent standards in the Tray AI Orchestration Platform. IT uses it to define which servers and tools are approved and keep every agent accessing systems through the same controlled, auditable path.
Govern MCP adoption before it becomes sprawl
Agent Gateway stops shadow MCP development by giving IT one governed place to build, share, and control protocol-based agent capabilities.
Reduce shadow MCP risk
Stop ad hoc MCP servers and tools before they spread into unmanaged, non-compliant workflows
Turn your stack into safe agent actions
Use Tray’s 700+ governed connectors without opening new access paths or exposure
Adopt new standards without disruption
Support MCP today and add emerging protocols like A2A on the same governed foundation as your agents and integrations
How Agent Gateway works
Agent Gateway brings governance into each stage of MCP adoption. IT defines MCP servers and tools agents can use, applies the policies and guardrails that keep access safe, and publishes those tools via MCP for secure use across Tray and external agent frameworks.
Model MCP servers in Tray and decide which tools each one exposes. Set which systems they can reach and apply the policies, authentication, and guardrails that keep server behavior aligned with enterprise controls.

Key capabilities for governed MCP adoption
Manage MCP servers and tools
Define, approve, and manage MCP servers and tools in a single governed environment so IT controls which systems agents can reach and the conditions under which servers are exposed.
MCP tools from any source
Create and register MCP tools from Tray workflows, governed connector operations, or third-party MCP services and control their use through one consistent gateway.
Access control
Apply scopes, permissions, authentication, and rate limits to govern how MCP servers and tools are accessed across environments, teams, and agent frameworks.
Guardrails and encoded business logic
Use Guardian to embed rules, guardrails, and compliance constraints into MCP servers and tools so agent behavior stays predictable and aligned with enterprise policy.
Logging and observability
Log MCP tool calls and server interactions in Tray Insights Hub and stream runtime data to your observability platforms for full auditability and operational visibility.

MCP governance in the enterprise
MCP promises faster agent development. But without governance, speed becomes risk. Learn how enterprise teams can close the governance gap and make MCP production-ready.
