MCP Gateway

MCP gateways put one enforcement point between AI agents and the tools they call. This guide compares eight MCP gateways for enterprises, including Bifrost, Kong AI Gateway, Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Gateway, and IBM ContextForge, on identity, access, deployment, and audit.

The best MCP servers connect AI agents to business systems through the Model Context Protocol under each user's own permissions. This guide compares 13 vendor-maintained MCP servers, including GitHub, Atlassian, Slack, and Snowflake, on hosting, auth, admin controls, and the data each one exposes.

OpenCode MCP support lets the agent call external tools from the terminal, and by default it calls them without asking. This guide shows how to put Bifrost between OpenCode and your MCP servers, combine tool allow-lists with OpenCode permissions, and choose the right MCP authentication.

An enterprise MCP gateway enforces identity, tool access and audit on agent tool calls. This guide maps Bifrost, Microsoft, Azure API Management, IBM ContextForge, AWS and Google to the OWASP MCP Top 10, and shows which security controls are open source and which are paid.

MCP gateways are control layers that sit between AI agents and MCP servers. This guide explains the six jobs they do, what the stateless 2026-07-28 spec changed, and how Bifrost, IBM ContextForge, Docker, Microsoft, Azure and Cloudflare compare.

An open source MCP gateway is a self-hosted control layer for Model Context Protocol traffic. This guide compares Bifrost with Docker MCP Gateway, Microsoft MCP Gateway, IBM ContextForge and four other projects, using commit history and capabilities verified in each repository.
