A proxy for AI infrastructure that routes model requests, aggregates Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools behind one endpoint, and applies rate limiting, auth and guardrails in a YAML-configured pipeline.

Where it sits

3.3 Gateways (primary): Sits between applications and AI providers and MCP servers, and applies rate limiting, authentication and guardrail filters that the deployer arranges in a YAML pipeline.

Send requests to OpenAI, Anthropic, or your own models.
