Overview

This Secure MCP Gateway is built with authentication, automatic tool discovery, caching, and guardrail enforcement.

It sits between your MCP client and MCP servers. So, by it's nature it itself also acts as an MCP server as well as an MCP client :)

When your MCP client connects to the Gateway, it acts as an MCP server. When the Gateway connects to the actual MCP server, it acts as an MCP client.
