Why it matters

Useful for developers and platform teams who want to run MCP servers in production with per-request auth, audit logs, and a Kubernetes operator — without rolling their own proxy, registry, and policy layer.

Who should use it

platform teams that need to standardize on MCP across the org with per-request auth and audit logsenterprise teams with SaaS-prohibited data that need a self-hostable MCP registry / gateway / runtimedeveloper teams that want to run MCP servers in production with semantic tool search to cut token costKubernetes platform teams that want a Helm-installable MCP operator with OTel + Prometheus observabilitysecurity teams that need an MCP-specific policy enforcement layer with OIDC / OAuth integration

Who should skip it

Skip if the source link, docs, or setup requirements do not match your workflow.
