Today, Cursor announced a hooks partnership program with ecosystem vendors including MintMCP. This post describes how we use Cursor's hooks to provide MCP governance and visibility for enterprise teams.

MCP servers are spreading rapidly through engineering organizations: someone installs Linear for ticket context, someone else adds Figma for design specs, a few people connect database MCPs for quick queries, and before long there are dozens of servers running across the team. But most organizations have no idea what's actually installed. MCP servers get shared in Slack threads, copy-pasted from GitHub READMEs, distributed through Notion docs, and are often never removed. There's usually no central registry, no visibility into what data flows through these connections, and no policy governing what's allowed.

Data-driven insights revealing the critical security gaps, governance challenges, and ROI opportunities in enterprise AI agent deployment

AI agent adoption is accelerating faster than organizations can secure it. The data tells a stark story: while 82% of enterprises deploy AI agents, only 44% have security policies in place. This security-adoption gap creates substantial risk—and substantial opportunity for organizations that prioritize governance from the start. MintMCP's MCP Gateway addresses this challenge with SOC2 Type II certified infrastructure, real-time monitoring, and centralized access controls that transform shadow AI into sanctioned AI. This comprehensive analysis examines market growth, security breach statistics, governance gaps, access control challenges, ROI metrics, and future projections shaping enterprise AI agent security.

When you first discover the Model Context Protocol (MCP), it can feel a bit like magic: suddenly your AI assistant can read from a database, update a CRM record, or spin up cloud resources - all through a single, standard interface. But as soon as you try to move beyond a demo, you'll run into practical questions: How do you secure these tool calls? Who keeps track of rate limits and audit logs? Where do you plug in observability? That's where an MCP gateway comes in. Think of it as the operations and security layer that makes MCP usable in production - similar to how an API gateway fronts traditional REST or gRPC services.
