Gateway API policies for authentication and authorization, with an Envoy-based Model Context Protocol (MCP) gateway that applies tool-level access control to MCP servers.

Where it sits

3.3 Gateways (primary): Its MCP gateway routes calls to several MCP servers behind one endpoint, and an AuthPolicy validates the caller's token and limits which tools that caller may reach.

An Envoy-based gateway for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, enabling aggregation and routing of multiple MCP servers behind a single endpoint.
