Give your AI access to every tool it needs -- without burning your context window or building MCP servers.
Five MCP hot-reload tools compared-- Ruach Tov Collective's BPD-based comparison of mcp-gateway against four restart-focused alternatives. Includes a feature matrix and architectural analysis.mcp-gateway deep dive-- Detailed walkthrough of the capability system, SHA-256 integrity pinning, and the v2.5-to-v2.9 development arc.
MCP Gateway sits between your AI client and your tools. Instead of hundreds of tool definitions into every request, the AI gets a compact Meta-MCP surface -- 14 tools minimum, 16 in the README benchmark scenario, 17 when webhook status is surfaced -- and discovers the right backend tool on demand.
Public quantitative claims in this README are sourced from docs/BENCHMARKS.md and the machine-readable benchmarks/public_claims.json, with CI checks to catch drift.
MCP Gateway is a tool and capability gateway. It routes MCP tool/resource/prompt traffic to backend MCP servers and capability-backed REST APIs, and it can proxy MCP server-to-client requests like sampling/createMessage
, elicitation/create
, and roots/list
back to the connected client over the existing gateway session.
MCP Gateway is not a general OpenAI/Anthropic chat completions or embeddings gateway. When a backend asks for sampling/createMessage
, the connected client still performs the model call. The OpenAI-compatible prompt-cache helpers in the gateway exist only so gateway_invoke
can preserve prompt_cache_key
behavior for backends or capabilities that happen to call LLM APIs internally.
The context window is the bottleneck. Every MCP tool you connect costs ~150 tokens of context overhead. Connect 20 servers with 100+ tools and you've burned 15,000 tokens before the conversation starts -- on tool definitions the AI probably won't use this turn.
Worse: context limits force you to choose which tools to connect. You leave tools out because they don't fit -- and your AI makes worse decisions because it can't reach the right data.
MCP Gateway removes that tradeoff entirely.
| Without Gateway | With Gateway | |
|---|---|---|
| Tools in context | ||
| Every definition, every request | 16 Meta-MCP tools in the README benchmark (~1600 tokens) | |
| Token overhead | ||
| ~15,000 tokens (100 tools) | ~1600 tokens -- 89% savings | |
| Cost at scale | ||
| ~$0.22/request (Opus input) | ~$0.024/request -- $201 saved per 1K | |
| Practical tool limit | ||
| 20-50 tools (context pressure) | Unlimited -- discovered on demand | |
| Connect a new REST API | ||
| Build an MCP server (days) | Drop a YAML file or import an OpenAPI spec (minutes) | |
| Changing MCP config | ||
| Restart AI session, lose context | Restart gateway (~8ms), session stays alive | |
| When one tool breaks | ||
| Cascading failures | Circuit breakers isolate it |
The base discovery quartet (gateway_list_servers
, gateway_list_tools
, gateway_search_tools
, gateway_invoke
) stays constant. The README benchmark scenario also surfaces stats, cost report, playbooks, profile controls, disabled-capability visibility, and reload for a 15-tool surface. Surfacing webhook status adds the 16th tool.
| Alternative | What it does | Why MCP Gateway is different |
|---|---|---|
| Direct MCP connections | ||
| Each server connected individually | Every tool definition loaded every request. 100 tools = 15K tokens burned. Gateway: a small fixed 13-16 tool surface instead of every backend tool. | |
| Claude's ToolSearch | ||
| Built-in deferred tool | Only works with tools already configured. Gateway adds unlimited backends + REST APIs without MCP servers. | |
| Archestra | ||
| Cloud-hosted MCP registry | Requires cloud account, sends data to third party. Gateway is local-only, zero external dependencies. | |
| Kong / Portkey | ||
| General API gateways | Not MCP-aware. No meta-tool discovery, no tool search, no capability YAML system. | |
| Building fewer MCP servers | ||
| Reduce tool count manually | You lose capabilities. Gateway lets you keep everything and pay the token cost of the compact Meta-MCP surface. |
On 2026-05-19 Anthropic shipped Claude Managed Agents with self-hosted sandboxes (public beta) and MCP tunnels (research preview). MCP tunnels let a Claude agent reach a single MCP server inside a private network through one outbound connection from a lightweight gateway -- no inbound firewall rules, no public endpoint, encrypted end-to-end.
mcp-gateway and Anthropic's MCP tunnel sit at different layers and compose. The tunnel is reachability plumbing for one private MCP server. mcp-gateway is the aggregation, routing, capability-namespacing and observability layer across many MCP and REST backends. When both are deployed, mcp-gateway becomes the private MCP server that Anthropic's tunnel exposes -- one tunnel, one outbound connection, every backend behind it.

)Observabilitytrace_id
and cost-accounting across every backend invocation (src/cost_accounting/
, src/gateway/
)Complementary, not a replacement. A team that wants Claude Managed Agents to reach a private-network deployment of mcp-gateway uses the tunnel for reachability and mcp-gateway for fan-out, capability hygiene, OWASP Agentic AI controls (docs/OWASP_AGENTIC_AI_COMPLIANCE.md), and unified cost / trace telemetry. The two solve adjacent problems.
Connecting N MCP servers to an agent means accepting N attack surfaces. Tool poisoning, rug pulls, and exfiltration via hidden instructions in tool descriptions are demonstrated attacks, not hypotheticals. Invariant Labs' writeup (MCP Security Notification: Tool Poisoning Attacks) and Simon Willison's summary (MCP has prompt injection security problems) lay out the threat model.
mcp-gateway puts every backend tool description behind one audit surface and defends it structurally:
Tool-poisoning validator (AX-010). Every backend tool description is scanned before it reaches the agent's context window. HIGH patterns fail-closed:<IMPORTANT>

Centralized audit surface. Capability YAMLs are plain text, diffable, grep-able, PR-reviewable. The agent only ever sees the compact Meta-MCP surface (13-16 tools). No N-server tool-list pollution means no N-server attack surface.

Tell your AI assistant (recommended):
Read
[https://github.com/MikkoParkkola/mcp-gateway]and install mcp-gateway to consolidate all my MCP servers behind one gateway
Your agent will install the binary, run the setup wizard, import your existing MCP servers, and wire itself up. Works in Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex, and any AI with terminal access.
Or four commands:
brew install MikkoParkkola/tap/mcp-gateway # 1. install
mcp-gateway setup wizard --configure-client # 2. import existing servers + wire up clients
mcp-gateway serve # 3. run
mcp-gateway doctor # 4. verify everything is healthy
That's it. Your AI clients now talk to the gateway and the gateway routes to every backend you already had configured โ at a flat ~15 tools
instead of ~150
. Start with gateway_search_tools
from your AI client to find any backend tool, then invoke it with gateway_invoke
.
Nothing to import yet?mcp-gateway init --with-examples
writes a workinggateway.yaml
with public capabilities so you can confirm the gateway is alive before adding your own servers.

Manual JSON snippet (if you prefer to edit by hand) #
{
"mcpServers": {
"gateway": {
"type": "http",
"url": "http://localhost:39400/mcp"
}
}
}
The gateway exposes 14 Meta-MCP tools minimum, 16 in the README benchmark scenario, and 17 when webhook status is surfaced. The base discovery quartet stays fixed; the rest are operator helpers for stats, cost, playbooks, profile control, disabled-capability visibility, reload, and webhook status.
Token math (Claude Opus @ $15/M input tokens, reproducible via python benchmarks/token_savings.py --scenario readme
):
Without: 100 tools x 150 tokens x 1,000 requests = 15M tokens =$225****With (README benchmark): 16 Meta-MCP tools x 100 tokens x 1,000 requests = 1.6M tokens =$24.00
Turn any REST API into a tool by dropping a YAML file (~30 seconds) or importing an OpenAPI spec:
mcp-gateway cap import stripe-openapi.yaml --output capabilities/ --prefix stripe
The gateway ships with 110+ built-in capabilities -- weather, Wikipedia, GitHub, stock quotes, package tracking, and more. Capability YAMLs hot-reload automatically after file changes, no restart needed.
mcp-gateway now ships HeyGen video-generation capabilities in capabilities/media/
:
video_agent_create
video_create
video_get
video_download
voice_list
avatar_list
Setup:
export HEYGEN_API_KEY=your-api-key
Make sure your config loads the built-in capability directory:
capabilities:
enabled: true
directories:
- ./capabilities
The request schemas ship hand-written for the initial connector, but HeyGen's CLI can act as the schema source of truth for future regeneration:
heygen video-agent create --request-schema
heygen video create --request-schema
Map that JSON into each capability's schema.input
block when refreshing the connector.
