MCP makes it trivial to connect AI to any system. That's the problem. Without a governance layer, your agent can read any file, write to any database, post to any Slack channel. QuilrAI's MCP Gateway adds scope, auth, and audit to every tool call, automatically.
The MCP ecosystem is growing fast. So is the exposure. Here's what you're inheriting with every server you connect.
MCP servers expose every capability they have. Your agent gets it all, filesystem read/write, all repos, all Slack channels, unless you explicitly restrict it. Nobody does.
MCP doesn't mandate authentication between an agent and an MCP server. Anything running locally can call anything locally. In production, that's a vulnerability.
When your agent calls a tool, there's no record of what was requested, what was returned, or whether it should have been allowed. You're flying blind.
Drop the gateway in front of your MCP servers. Your agents keep working, just within the boundaries you set.
Your agent gets a Guardian-configured subset of each MCP server's tools. The GitHub MCP can only access the repos you approved. The filesystem MCP stays in your project directory.
Every agent-to-MCP call goes through the QuilrAI gateway with identity verification. Tools know who's calling and can refuse requests outside policy.
Every tool invocation logged: agent identity, tool name, parameters (post-redaction), response. Searchable, exportable, retention-configurable.
What Guardian setup looks like for your MCP stack:
Allow MCP server delegation?
Tools: filesystem, database, github
Allow cross-agent MCP calls?
Agents: researcher → writer
Allow production DB writes?
Scoped to: staging only
CLARIFY phase, Guardian agent auto-generates permission decisions from your MCP config
QuilrAI's gateway works with every major MCP server in the ecosystem, out of the box.
QuilrAI's MCP Gateway supports Dynamic Tool Calling, your agent describes what it needs and the gateway selects the right tool automatically. Fewer round trips, better results, full governance.
One gateway. Every MCP server. Scope, auth, and audit, without changing how your agents work.
Connect your first MCP tool safelyCommon Questions
MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers introduce risks including over-privileged tool access, lack of built-in authentication, prompt injection via tool outputs, and supply chain attacks through community packages. QuilrAI's MCP Gateway scans servers at install and enforces least-privilege tool permissions at runtime.
QuilrAI's MCP Security scanner analyzes community MCP server packages at install time, checking declared permissions, scanning for embedded exfiltration patterns, and flagging tools that request more access than their stated purpose requires. Packages are re-scanned when updated.
Yes. QuilrAI discovers and governs self-hosted MCP servers through its Endpoint Agent and MCP Gateway. It maps every tool each server exposes, applies Guardian Agent permission policies at the tool call level, and logs all MCP interactions.
