How J.W. Pepper centralizes and secures their MCP servers and tools early
In this customer case study, J.W. Pepper shares how its IT team put guardrails around MCP servers and tools as adoption grew across the business.
At J.W. Pepper, MCP demand grew faster than IT could keep up. MCP servers and tools started spreading across the business, creating leadership-level issues like unclear ownership, uneven access controls, and no single way to manage what was live.
In this session, Marcus Dubreuil, Director of Systems Architecture at J.W. Pepper, walks through how his team responded early by centralizing MCP servers and tools in one managed environment using Tray Agent Gateway.
