Description

The Microsoft MCP Gateway serves as an open-source reverse proxy and management interface for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, facilitating scalable and session-aware routing along with lifecycle management and centralized oversight of MCP services, particularly within Kubernetes setups. Acting as a control plane, it adeptly directs requests from AI agents (MCP clients) to the corresponding backend MCP servers while maintaining session affinity, effectively managing multiple tools and endpoints through a singular gateway that prioritizes authorization and observability. Additionally, it empowers teams to deploy, update, and remove MCP servers and tools through RESTful APIs, enabling the registration of tool definitions and the management of these resources with security measures such as bearer tokens and role-based access control (RBAC). The architecture distinctly separates the management of the control plane, which includes CRUD operations on adapters, tools, and metadata, from the data plane's routing capabilities, which support streamable HTTP connections and dynamic tool routing, thus providing advanced features like session-aware stateful routing. This design not only enhances operational efficiency but also fosters a more secure environment for managing AI services.

Description

kgateway is a widely deployed Kubernetes gateway designed to power modern microservices and AI-driven workloads. It serves as a control plane for advanced ingress, API management, and AI gateway use cases. Built on Envoy and open-source foundations, kgateway implements the Kubernetes Gateway API for consistent, cloud-native connectivity. The platform aggregates APIs and applies authentication, authorization, and rate limiting in one centralized layer. Kgateway also protects AI models, tools, and agents by securing LLM consumption and data access. Intelligent routing capabilities support AI inference workloads directly inside Kubernetes clusters. The platform scales from lightweight microgateways to massively parallel centralized gateways. Kgateway supports agent-to-agent and MCP-based communication through a single secure endpoint. It enables omni-directional API connectivity across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Kgateway helps organizations innovate faster while maintaining security and governance.
