What is Obot MCP Gateway?
Obot serves as an open-source AI infrastructure platform and Model Context Protocol (MCP) gateway, allowing organizations to have a centralized system for discovering, onboarding, managing, securing, and scaling MCP servers that connect large language models and AI agents with various enterprise systems, tools, and data sources. Its features include an MCP gateway, a catalog, an administrative console, and a chat interface that integrates seamlessly with identity providers like Okta, Google, and GitHub, facilitating the implementation of access control, authentication, and governance policies across MCP endpoints to ensure secure and compliant AI interactions. Furthermore, Obot enables IT teams to host both local and remote MCP servers, manage access through a secure gateway, set detailed user permissions, effectively log and audit usage, and generate connection URLs for LLM clients such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, or custom agents, thereby enhancing both operational flexibility and security. Additionally, this platform simplifies the integration of AI services, empowering organizations to utilize cutting-edge technologies while upholding strong governance and compliance standards. By streamlining these processes, Obot fosters an environment where innovation can thrive without compromising security or regulatory requirements.
