Overview

## MCP GATEWAY 101

### MCP without gateway

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the open standard that defines how AI agents connect to external tools and data sources.
While powerful, teams must control the tools agents use and secure the data agents access. That’s exactly what MCP gateways do.

### MCP with gateway

An MCP gateway sits between your AI clients and your MCP servers, giving IT a single control plane for every agent connection in your organization. Without a gateway, companies have no central visibility, no consistent access policies, and no audit trail for AI’s access to data.

## Frequently asked questions

### What's the difference between an MCP gateway and an MCP server?

An MCP server exposes a specific tool or data source (e.g., your Salesforce instance or your GitHub repos). An MCP gateway is a central layer between your MCP servers and your clients (e.g., Claude), handling authentication, logging, and policy enforcement. Think of MCP servers as the tools, and the gateway as the control plane for all of them.

### Do I need an MCP gateway?

If more than one person in your organization is using AI agents that connect to external tools via MCP, then yes. Without a gateway, you have no central visibility into what agents are accessing, no way to enforce consistent access policies across teams, and no audit trail if something goes wrong. The governance gap is manageable when AI usage is limited to a few developers. It becomes a serious liability as adoption scales.

### What AI clients does MCP Manager work with?

MCP Manager works with any MCP-compatible AI client, including Claude (desktop and work), Cursor, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Windsurf, and Claude Code.

### What MCP servers does MCP Manager support?

MCP Manager works with any spec-compliant MCP server, including popular third-party servers like Salesforce, GitHub, Slack, Atlassian, Google Drive, HubSpot, and Snowflake, as well as internally built servers. It supports both remote (HTTP/SSE) and local (STDIO) server configurations.

### How does MCP Manager handle PII and sensitive data?

MCP Manager includes runtime PII detection powered by Microsoft Presidio, which classifies and redacts sensitive entities, names, financial data, credentials, and other regulated information, before they pass through to downstream systems. You can also define custom regex-based policies or connect your existing DLP tools via webhook.

### How does authentication work?

MCP server connections use OAuth enforcement to ensure every connection is authenticated and attributable to a specific user or agent. In addition, MCP Manager supports SSO, integrating with your existing identity provider including Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, and Google Workspace.

### How long does it take to get started?

Most teams complete their first gateway setup in under an hour.

### What happens when an MCP server changes its tool definitions?

MCP Manager monitors for tool definition changes, including tool name changes, new tools being added, and modifications to existing tool descriptions. When a change is detected, you can configure alerts, require re-approval before the updated server is accessible, or block connections automatically. This protects against MCP rug pull attacks, where a server you have already approved silently changes behavior.

### What compliance certifications does MCP Manager have?

MCP Manager is operated by Usercentrics, which holds SOC 2 Type II certification. Full security documentation is available in our Trust Center.

## Ready to govern your AI deployment?

MCP Manager is free to start. Enterprise plans include SSO, advanced PII filtering, OpenTelemetry export, and dedicated support.
