Active·★ 53·Apache-2.0·Updated 2026-08-25

MCP Gateway enables AI assistants to securely access internal tools without exposing public endpoints, providing cryptographically secure, zero-trust connectivity. It aggregates multiple tool backends into a single secure endpoint, leveraging OpenZiti, zrok, and Agora for dark services that work through NATs and firewalls.
