# mcpgate

> Self-hosted MCP gateway that connects AI clients (Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Gemini, any MCP-compatible agent) to your company tool stack — Jira, GitLab, GitHub, Notion, Confluence, Slack, Grafana, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and 20+ more. Differentiating features: PII pseudonymization with on-prem rehydration, two-layer policy hooks (company + user, YAML, hot-reloaded), zero data at rest, BSL 1.1 license (free up to 5 users).

mcpgate is positioned for teams that want to adopt AI agents across their daily work tools while keeping data control on-premises. The gateway sits between the AI client and the enterprise APIs, applying authentication, sanitization, and policy hooks on every tool call. It is *not* a managed service — every install runs entirely on the customer's infrastructure.

This llms.txt is intended for IDE agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, Cline, Aider) that fetch it to ground answers about mcpgate. Source repo at github.com/Mcpgate-de/mcpgate.
