Enterprise hardening
High availability, security, and compliance alignment transform MCP from developer utility to production-grade infrastructure.
Supports shared and per-user auth
Flexibility to configure service accounts at the admin level or enable individual OAuth flows. Secrets remain protected while users gain access, with centralized revocation capabilities.
Granular tool access control
Configure tool access by role. For example, enable read-only operations and exclude write tools like create and delete.
Use cases
