Unmanaged servers and access
Teams add third-party servers faster than anyone reviews them, and each one hands agents every action the connected account allows.

What is an MCP Gateway?
An MCP gateway is a centralized security and control layer between AI agents and the MCP servers they call. Instead of every agent connecting directly to each tool, all agentic traffic flows through one governed control point that enforces access policy, manages credentials, and records an audit trail.
Why an MCP gateway
Essential at enterprise scale
Each new MCP server brings its own credentials, permissions, and blind spots. As adoption spreads, three problems compound, and the fix for all three is a single control layer.
Fragmented credentials
Each connection adds its own OAuth flow, token, or service account to provision, rotate, and revoke.
No central audit trail
Actions land in separate server logs, so no single view shows which agent acted, or what it changed.
How Composio solves it
One control layer for every agent, tool, and team
Every agent connects through one governed endpoint. Servers, access, credentials, and activity are managed and enforced in the same place, by the same policies.
01
Centralized MCP server management
Bring Composio's managed tools and your own MCP servers behind one gateway, so agents discover and reach them the same way.
One gateway, every server
Managed toolkits
Your own MCP servers
Central enable and disable
Ownership per team
02
Least-privilege access controls
Give every agent only the tools and actions its role requires, with the same policy applied across every server.
Scoped by default
Org, team, and user policies
Action-level rules
Access requests and approvals
Central revocation
03
Managed authentication lifecycle
Centralize authentication so credentials stay out of agent configuration, and provisioning survives people joining and leaving.
Credentials never reach the agent
OAuth connections
Service accounts
Automatic token refresh
Instant offboarding
04
Unified observability and audit trails
Track every agent action through one shared control layer, so an investigation starts from a single activity view.
One activity view
Every tool call recorded
User, action, and outcome
Failure investigation
Retention up to 1 year

- Agents connect directly to separate MCP servers
- Authentication is configured for every connection
- Large tool catalogs consume agent context
- Access policies differ across teams and servers
- Activity logs remain fragmented

Built for production scale
Everything your agents need to act reliably
Tool sprawl, oversized payloads, schemas that drift overnight. Composio absorbs the failure modes that take agents down in production, so your agent stays in flow.
01
The right tool, when you need it
Agents describe what they need; Composio resolves the intent and returns just the matching tools, drawn from managed toolkits and your own MCP servers alike. Context stays focused even with thousands of tools to choose from.
Resolved at runtime
Natural-language search
Only matching tools returned
Context stays small
Scales past 1,000 toolkits
02
Run code, return summaries
Heavy responses run inside an isolated sandbox and live on a navigable filesystem. Your agent reads a compact summary, not a 200 KB JSON dump.
Heavy work stays out of context
Isolated runtime
Navigable filesystem
Compact results returned
Large payloads never inlined
03
Tools that fix themselves
Rate limits, schema drift, malformed payloads, all handled by the gateway. Tools learn from real production calls and patch without your agent noticing.
Failure modes absorbed
Rate limits handled
Schema drift patched
Malformed params repaired
Recoverable calls retried
04
One URL per team, every tool scoped
Each team gets its own MCP endpoint carrying only the tools it is permitted to use. Members request access to blocked tools; admins approve or deny centrally.
Scoped per team
Unique MCP endpoint
SSO authenticated
Destructive actions blocked
Requests and approvals
05
Swap models, keep everything else
Your tooling layer lives with Composio, not the LLM provider. Move between Claude, GPT, Gemini, or an in-house model and the auth, scopes, and policies come along.
Portable across providers
Claude, GPT, Gemini, in-house
Auth and scopes stay put
No reconnects on swap
No re-procurement
How it compares
More than a proxy, more than a toolkit platform
A proxy forwards traffic but leaves you owning every connection. A toolkit platform manages the apps but not who is allowed to use them. The gateway does both, under one set of policies.

Enterprise deployment
Built for enterprise deployment
Deploy Composio within your security, identity, and data-governance requirements, without changing how teams connect agents to tools.
Identity provider integration
SAML or OIDC for single sign-on, and SCIM 2.0 to provision users, map directory groups to teams, and revoke access during offboarding.
Certified security controls
SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified, with a DPA included from day one, so your security team can close its vendor review.
Flexible deployment
Run through Composio Cloud, inside your own VPC, or fully self-hosted, without changing how teams connect agents to tools.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
An MCP gateway is a centralized layer between AI agents and MCP servers. It manages how agents discover tools, authenticate users, access permitted actions, and record activity across connected business applications.
As MCP adoption grows, organizations must manage more servers, credentials, permissions, and activity logs. An enterprise MCP gateway brings these controls into one place so teams can scale AI agent usage without creating unmanaged access or security gaps.
An MCP server exposes tools or data from a specific application. An MCP gateway sits between AI agents and multiple MCP servers, providing centralized routing, authentication, access control, observability, and governance.
An API gateway manages conventional API traffic. An MCP gateway is designed for AI agents using the Model Context Protocol and governs tool discovery, agent access, user identity, tool execution, and MCP-specific activity.
Composio applies access policies at the gateway so agents only receive approved tools and actions. Administrators can manage access by organization, team, user, agent, or toolkit, and block sensitive actions without disabling an entire toolkit.
Yes. Composio supports managed toolkits as well as custom and internal MCP servers. Teams can place both behind the same gateway, identity controls, access policies, and audit layer.
Composio centralizes OAuth connections, service accounts, and credential lifecycles so credentials do not need to be configured separately in every agent. Enterprise teams can also connect their identity provider using SAML or OIDC and automate provisioning with SCIM.
Composio works with MCP-compatible agents and clients, including tools built with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, and internal AI systems. The tooling and governance layer stays the same when teams change models or agent frameworks.
Yes. Composio records metadata for each tool call, including the user, team, tool, action, and outcome. These records support monitoring, troubleshooting, security investigations, and compliance reviews without retaining tool-call payloads.
Composio offers managed cloud and enterprise deployment options, including self-hosted and private-environment configurations. This helps organizations meet their infrastructure, data-residency, and network-security requirements.
Instead of loading every available tool definition into an agent’s context, an MCP gateway can return only the tools relevant to the current task. This keeps the context focused and can reduce token usage as the number of connected tools grows.
A basic MCP proxy mainly routes requests. Composio combines MCP routing with managed toolkits, authentication, access policies, tool selection, observability, and enterprise identity controls in one platform.
