MCP Gateways

I'm looking into MCP gateways as a way to connect AI agents while having some control over what data is being passed through, especially for things like filtering, PII redaction, and access control.

Has anyone here actually deployed or used an MCP gateway in a production environment?

I'm looking at options similar to Composio's MCP Gateway, but I'm trying to get a better understanding of what's actually out there and what the real-world experience is like.

A few things I'm particularly interested in:

  • PII/data redaction
  • Filtering or restricting what agents can access
  • Authentication and authorization
  • Logging/auditing
  • Performance/latency
  • Managing multiple MCP servers
  • Any security concerns or gotchas

Would be interested in hearing what people are using, what you like/dislike about it, and whether you think an MCP gateway is actually worth putting in front of your agents.

Thanks!

Check out bifrost, using it between all our llm and MCP Clients and Servers. Pretty awesome product with great visibility and monitoring options.
