Description

The Microsoft MCP Gateway serves as an open-source reverse proxy and management interface for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, facilitating scalable and session-aware routing along with lifecycle management and centralized oversight of MCP services, particularly within Kubernetes setups. Acting as a control plane, it adeptly directs requests from AI agents (MCP clients) to the corresponding backend MCP servers while maintaining session affinity, effectively managing multiple tools and endpoints through a singular gateway that prioritizes authorization and observability. Additionally, it empowers teams to deploy, update, and remove MCP servers and tools through RESTful APIs, enabling the registration of tool definitions and the management of these resources with security measures such as bearer tokens and role-based access control (RBAC). The architecture distinctly separates the management of the control plane, which includes CRUD operations on adapters, tools, and metadata, from the data plane's routing capabilities, which support streamable HTTP connections and dynamic tool routing, thus providing advanced features like session-aware stateful routing. This design not only enhances operational efficiency but also fosters a more secure environment for managing AI services.
