mcp-gatewayBLOCK
Unlimited MCP servers, tools and APIs. One fixed context cost. Plug every tool you own into Claude, Cursor, Codex or any MCP client: your agent sees a handful, finds the rest on demand, and never drowns in tool definitions. Self-hosted MCP gateway and proxy in one Rust binary, 100+ API integrations

Questions
What is the mcp-gateway MCP server?
Unlimited MCP servers, tools and APIs. One fixed context cost. Plug every tool you own into Claude, Cursor, Codex or any MCP client: your agent sees a handful, finds the rest on demand, and never drowns in tool definitions. Self-hosted MCP gateway and proxy in one Rust binary, 100+ API integrations
What tools does mcp-gateway expose?
47 in total: 38 read-only, 9 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.
Is mcp-gateway safe to connect to an agent?
No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it F (33/100) and found 25 critical or high issues in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on.
What credentials does mcp-gateway need?
It reads ED25519_PRIVKEY and GATEWAY_ATTESTATION_SIGNING_KEY from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.
How does mcp-gateway run?
It speaks stdio and streamable-http, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as @mikkoparkkola/mcp-gateway at 2.12.1.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (075cce390186), read on 2026-10-07. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
