MCP servers
Connect agentgateway to MCP servers using various transports
Agentgateway supports connecting to MCP servers via multiple transport protocols. Choose the transport that best fits your deployment model.

| Without agentgateway | With agentgateway |
|---|---|
| Direct client-to-server connections | Centralized gateway for all MCP traffic |
| No authentication layer | External authentication (OAuth2, Tailscale, etc.) |
| No observability | Full OpenTelemetry tracing and metrics |
| No rate limiting | Per-client and per-tool rate limits |
| No access control | Fine-grained authorization policies |
| Clients must handle each transport | Unified endpoint for all transports |
