Simplified and Secure MCP Gateways for Enterprise AI Integration

Understand

The increased adoption of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for AI Agents necessitates robust security for Enterprise integrations.

• This paper introduces the MCP Gateway to simplify self-hosted MCP server integration.
• The proposed architecture integrates security principles, authentication, intrusion detection, and secure tunneling, enabling secure self-hosting without exposing infrastructure.
• Key contributions include a reference architecture, threat model mapping, simplified integration strategies, and open-source implementation recommendations.
