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
ERP and Dynamics data queries
Enable business users to investigate Dynamics data, ERP transactions, and back-office records through natural language—AI agents query SQL Server without T-SQL expertise or waiting on IT teams.
AI-ready vector search with SQL Server 2025
Build RAG applications, semantic search, and conversational AI with native T-SQL vector support, DiskANN indexing, and row-level security for AI workloads.
Enterprise BI and analytics queries
Let analysts investigate data warehouse trends, generate BI reports, and answer business questions through conversational queries—AI agents access in-memory OLTP and columnstore data without manual T-SQL or Azure Synapse knowledge.
