MCP Gateway Security
Secure every Model Context Protocol connection with tool-level authorization, credential vaulting, and real-time behavioral analysis.
The MCP Security Challenge
MCP connections expose tools without authorization checks
Enforce tool-level policies on every MCP request through the gateway
Credentials passed in plaintext through MCP tool calls
Credential vaulting with just-in-time injection and automatic rotation
No way to detect malicious tool usage patterns
Behavioral analysis engine flags anomalous MCP interactions in real time
Uncontrolled tool sprawl across MCP servers
Centralized tool registry with approval workflows and scope enforcement
How It Works
Deploy Gateway
Insert the MCP gateway between your agents and MCP servers with a single config change
Define Policies
Set tool-level authorization rules, credential mappings, and behavioral thresholds
Enforce & Monitor
Every MCP call is authorized, logged, and analyzed for threats automatically
Features
Tool-Level Authorization
Define granular policies per MCP tool. Control which agents can invoke which tools, with what parameters, and under what conditions.
Credential Vaulting
Store secrets in a tamper-proof vault. Credentials are injected at runtime and never exposed to the calling agent or MCP server.
Behavioral Analysis
Machine learning models baseline normal MCP usage and alert on deviations such as unusual call frequency, new tool combinations, or data exfiltration patterns.
Protocol Inspection
Deep inspection of MCP messages including JSON-RPC payloads, tool arguments, and response content for policy compliance.
Full Request Logging
Every MCP request and response is logged with caller identity, tool name, parameters, latency, and policy decision for complete auditability.
Mutual TLS Enforcement
Require mTLS between MCP clients and servers. Automatically manage certificate issuance, rotation, and revocation.
Why TigerIdentity for MCP Security
The only gateway built from the ground up for Model Context Protocol security.
Purpose-Built Gateway
Not a generic API gateway. Built specifically for MCP protocol semantics, tool schemas, and agent authorization patterns.
Sub-Millisecond Overhead
Inline policy evaluation adds less than 2ms p99 latency to MCP calls, ensuring agents remain responsive.
Adaptive Policies
Policies automatically tighten when risk signals increase and relax when confidence is high, reducing friction without sacrificing security.
Cross-Server Visibility
Single pane of glass across all MCP servers, tools, and agent interactions regardless of deployment topology.
