All database access goes through MintMCP Gateway with full observability, authentication, rate limiting, and audit trails.

Why MintMCP gateway

Centralized governance

Unified authentication, audit logging, and rate control for all database MCP connections.

One-click deployment

Instantly enable database MCP for AI teams via MintMCP's standardized gateway without manual server setup.

OAuth + SSO enforcement

Automatic enterprise authentication wrapping for database MCP endpoints.

Host stdio servers on MintMCP instead of running locally

Containerized servers become accessible to clients like ChatGPT without local installations. Better risk management and security posture without requiring users to run servers on their machines.

Observability and control

Real-time dashboards for monitoring usage, detecting anomalies, and maintaining SLA compliance.

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

E-commerce transaction analysis

Enable business teams to investigate orders, inventory levels, and payment patterns through natural language—AI agents query high-volume transaction data without SQL expertise or waiting on engineering.

SaaS application data queries

Let product teams analyze user data, content performance, and application metrics by asking questions in natural language—AI agents access multi-tenant MySQL databases without manual query construction.

Financial and healthcare data analysis

Enable analysts to investigate patient records, billing data, and financial transactions through conversational queries—AI agents access sensitive MySQL data with enterprise security without exposing query syntax.

FAQs
