Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the standard way for AI systems and agents to connect to external data and tools. For example, the popular CRM platform HubSpot now offers an MCP server that allows marketers to work with CRM data directly from their LLM of choice, such as Claude or ChatGPT. MCP makes AI far more useful in real work, but it does not provide the governance and controls needed to run AI systems safely and compliantly. MCP Manager solves this by giving teams a way to monitor and control how business and consumer data flows into LLMs, making MCP practical for production use. ### What is MCP Manager? MCP Manager is a centralized gateway for Model Context Protocol (MCP) that helps teams of any size deploy, govern, and secure AI agents as they connect to business systems. It monitors and controls how data flows between AI agents and MCP servers, enforces policies at runtime, and provides audit logs, making it easy to deploy compliant AI without requiring deep AI infrastructure or DevOps expertise. ### Why do I need an MCP gateway? While MCP makes it possible for AI agents to connect to business systems, it does not provide visibility into how data is accessed or control over how agents behave in production. MCP Manager acts as a gateway between AI agents and MCP servers, giving teams a simple way to monitor data flows, apply policies, and maintain audit logs for stakeholders and auditors. This makes it easier for teams of any size to deploy AI responsibly and **prepare for emerging regulations such as the EU AI Act, which begins enforcement in 2026.** ### What core capabilities does MCP Manager provide? MCP Manager provides a set of core capabilities: - **Deployment and enablement** — Simplifies how teams deploy and manage MCP servers, making it easy to get AI agents into production without specialized infrastructure or DevOps expertise. - **Observability and monitoring** — Provides centralized visibility into AI activity through logs, dashboards, and alerts that show how data moves between AI agents and business systems. This supports audit requests and helps teams understand and manage AI token usage and cost. - **Governance and security** — Applies guardrails at runtime, including access controls, policy enforcement, and the ability to redact or filter sensitive data such as PII before it reaches LLMs. It also helps reduce common MCP security risks, including rug pulls and prompt injection. ### How does MCP Manager help with AI visibility and auditability? MCP Manager provides a centralized control plane that allows teams to monitor AI activity across MCP servers through detailed audit logs, real-time monitoring, and alerts. This makes it easier to answer audit and compliance questions, investigate unexpected behavior, and maintain oversight as AI usage grows within a team or organization. ### How does MCP Manager enhance security for my AI ecosystem? MCP introduces powerful new capabilities, but it also comes with unique security risks that teams need to manage. Prompt injection, data exfiltration, and MCP server rug pulls are among the risks teams must be able to detect and prevent as AI systems move into production. MCP Manager helps teams reduce common MCP security vulnerabilities by providing monitoring, alerts, and runtime controls over how data is shared with LLMs. This includes the ability to redact or filter sensitive data such as PII before it ever reaches a model, helping teams protect data and maintain system integrity as AI usage grows. ### Is MCP Manager only suitable for enterprise environments? No. While MCP Manager is used by large enterprises with complex security and compliance needs, it is designed to be just as accessible for smaller teams. The platform makes it easy to deploy and manage MCP gateways and servers without requiring dedicated DevOps or AI infrastructure expertise. At the same time, MCP Manager supports enterprise requirements such as identity and access controls, team provisioning, audit logging, and centralized governance, allowing teams to scale AI usage as their needs grow. ### Does MCP Manager support different types of MCP servers? Yes, MCP Manager supports all common MCP deployment types, including remote, managed, and local (also known as workstation) servers. Many organizations use an MCP hybrid model, running different types of servers for different use cases. MCP Manager provides a way to deploy, monitor, and govern them all. --- ## Products - [Usercentrics Web CMP](https://usercentrics.com/website-consent-management/) - [Usercentrics App CMP](https://usercentrics.com/in-app-sdk/) - [Usercentrics CTV CMP](https://usercentrics.com/usercentrics-ctv-cmp/) - [Privacy Policy Generator](https://usercentrics.com/privacy-policy-generator/) - [Server-side Tagging Solution](https://usercentrics.com/server-side-tracking-solution/) - [Preference Manager](https://usercentrics.com/preference-management/) - [Audience Unlocker](https://usercentrics.com/audience-unlocker/) - [Integrations](https://usercentrics.com/integrations/) - [Web Compliance Scan](https://usercentrics.com/privacy-compliance-scanner/) - [App Compliance Scan](https://usercentrics.com/app-data-privacy-audit/) - [ROAS Calculator](https://usercentrics.com/roas-calculator/) ## Solutions - [Data Privacy Regulatory Compliance](https://usercentrics.com/data-privacy-regulatory-compliance/) - [Marketing Performance Optimization](https://usercentrics.com/marketing-performance-optimization/) - [Migration](https://usercentrics.com/migration/) - [Media & Publishing](https://usercentrics.com/media-publishing/) - [Retail & Ecommerce](https://usercentrics.com/retail-ecommerce/) - [Banking, Finance & Insurance](https://usercentrics.com/banking-finance-insurance/) - [Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals](https://usercentrics.com/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/) - [Gaming](https://usercentrics.com/gaming/) - [Education](https://usercentrics.com/education/) - [Automotive](https://usercentrics.com/automotive/) - [Travel & Hospitality](https://usercentrics.com/travel/) ## Regulations & Frameworks - [GDPR (EU)](https://usercentrics.com/gdpr/) - [GDPR (UK)](https://usercentrics.com/uk-gdpr/) - [CCPA (California)](https://usercentrics.com/ccpa/) - [TCF v2.3 (IAB)](https://usercentrics.com/cmp-for-publishers/) - [DMA (EU)](https://usercentrics.com/digital-markets-act-dma/) - [Amazon Consent Signal](https://usercentrics.com/usercentrics-cmp-and-amazon-consent-signal/) - [Google Consent Mode (EU)](https://usercentrics.com/usercentrics-cmp-and-google-consent-mode-v2/) - [Microsoft UET Consent Mode (EU)](https://usercentrics.com/usercentrics-cmp-and-microsoft-consent-mode/) - [Microsoft Clarity Consent Mode](https://usercentrics.com/usercentrics-cmp-and-microsoft-clarity-consent-mode/) - [View all regulations](https://usercentrics.com/regulations-and-frameworks/) ## Resources - [Blog](https://usercentrics.com/knowledge-hub/) - [Whitepapers](https://usercentrics.com/whitepapers/) - [Checklists](https://usercentrics.com/checklists/) - [Courses](https://courses.usercentrics.com/) - [Case Studies](https://usercentrics.com/case-studies/) - [Privacy-Led Marketing](https://usercentrics.com/privacy-led-marketing/) - [Events](https://usercentrics.com/webinar/) - [CONSENTED Podcast](https://usercentrics.com/consented/) - [Guides](https://usercentrics.com/guides/) - [Release Notes](https://releases.usercentrics.com/en) - [Developer Documentation](https://usercentrics.com/docs/) - [RFI Template](https://usercentrics.com/resources/usercentrics-rfi-template/) - [Customer Directory](https://usercentrics.com/usercentrics-customer-directory/) ## Company - [About Us](https://usercentrics.com/about-us/) - [Press](https://usercentrics.com/press/) - [Our Offices](https://usercentrics.com/contact/) - [Trust Center](https://trust.usercentrics.com/) - [Careers](https://usercentrics.com/career/) - [Open Positions](https://apply.workable.com/usercentrics/) - [Diversity & Inclusion](https://usercentrics.com/dei/) ## Support - [General Support](https://support.usercentrics.com/hc/en-us) - [Contact Sales](https://usercentrics.com/book-a-consultation/) - [Technical Support](https://support.usercentrics.com/hc/en-us/requests/new) - [Billing & Account](https://support.usercentrics.com/hc/en-us/categories/12253804608156-Account-and-billing) - [Suggest a Feature](https://support.usercentrics.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=10610312381340) - [Partner Login](https://partnerportal.usercentrics.com/) - [Partner Program](https://usercentrics.com/partner-program-overview/) - [Affiliate Program](https://usercentrics.com/affiliates/) ## Legal - [Terms & Conditions](https://usercentrics.com/terms-and-conditions/) - [Terms & Conditions USA](https://usercentrics.com/terms-and-conditions-usa/) - [Privacy Policy](https://usercentrics.com/privacy-policy/) - [Legal Notice](https://usercentrics.com/legal-notice/) - [Legal Documents](https://usercentrics.com/legal-documents/) - [Accessibility Statement](https://usercentrics.com/accessibility-statement-wcag-compliance/) © 2026 Usercentrics GmbH
