Compare the Top MCP Gateways as of January 2026

What are MCP Gateways?

MCP gateways act as secure intermediaries that connect AI models with external tools, data sources, and services using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). They manage authentication, permissions, and request routing to ensure controlled and reliable access to contextual data. The gateways standardize how models discover, invoke, and interact with tools across different environments. Many MCP gateways include monitoring, logging, and policy enforcement features to maintain security and compliance. By centralizing tool access and context delivery, MCP gateways enable scalable, interoperable, and safer AI integrations. Compare and read user reviews of the best MCP Gateways currently available using the table below. This list is updated regularly.

    MCPTotal

    MCPTotal

    MCPTotal

    MCPTotal is a secure, enterprise-grade platform designed to manage, host, and govern MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers and AI-tool integrations in a controlled, audit-ready environment rather than letting them run ad hoc on developers’ machines. It offers a “Hub”, a centralized, sandboxed runtime environment where MCP servers are containerized, hardened, and pre-vetted for security. A built-in “MCP Gateway” acts like an AI-native firewall: it inspects MCP traffic in real time, enforces policies, monitors all tool calls and data flows, and prevents common risks such as data exfiltration, prompt-injection attacks, or uncontrolled credential usage. All API keys, environment variables, and credentials are stored securely in an encrypted vault, avoiding the risk of credential-sprawl or storing secrets in plaintext files on local machines. MCPTotal supports discovery and governance; security teams can scan desktops and cloud instances to detect where MCP servers are in use.
