MCP Gateway

The MCP (Model Context Protocol) Gateway enables AI coding assistants like Claude Code, Cursor, and Roo Code to securely connect to MCP servers through Requesty’s unified API, providing tool access, authentication management, and comprehensive analytics.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that enables AI assistants to interact with external tools and services. Through MCP, your AI coding assistant can:

🔧 Access databases and execute queries
📁 Manage files and repositories
🌐 Interact with web services and APIs
🤖 Use specialized AI tools and models
📊 Connect to productivity platforms (Notion, Linear, Asana)

Key Benefits

Universal Compatibility

Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Roo Code, and any MCP-compatible AI tool

Centralized Management

Single dashboard to manage all MCP servers and authentication across your organization

Enterprise Security

AES-256 encryption, organization isolation, and granular access controls

How It Works

Register MCP Servers: Admins configure MCP server URLs and authentication
Whitelist Tools: Select specific tools from each server to make available
Manage Keys: Configure authentication (org-wide or per-user)
Use Tools: AI assistants automatically discover and use available tools
Monitor Usage: Track performance, costs, and usage patterns

Feature Overview

Server Management

User Key Management

Enterprise users can manage their personal API keys for MCP servers

Analytics & Monitoring

Monitor and analyze MCP server usage, performance, and user activity

AI Tool Integration

Connect Claude Code, Cursor, Roo Code and other AI assistants

Authentication Models

Requesty supports two authentication approaches depending on your plan:

Standard Plan: Organization-Wide Keys

For non-enterprise organizations, authentication is managed at the organization level:

Admin Configuration

Organization admins configure API keys for each MCP server

Shared Access

All users in the organization share the same authentication

Simplified Management

Single point of configuration for the entire team

Best for: Teams using internal tools, shared services, or organization-owned API keys

Enterprise Plan: Per-User Keys

Enterprise organizations can enable individual authentication:

Admin Setup

Admins register servers and define required authentication headers

User Configuration

Each user provides their own API keys through the dashboard

Individual Access

Users authenticate with their personal credentials

Best for: External services requiring personal API keys (GitHub, Linear, Notion)

Important Enterprise Distinction:

Admins can choose whether users are allowed to add their own keys
If disabled, only organization-wide keys are used (same as Standard plan)
This provides flexibility between convenience and security

Quick Start

1. Enable MCP Gateway

Navigate to Settings → Integrations → MCP Gateway in your Requesty dashboard.

2. Add Your First Server

Use Template
Custom Server

Choose from pre-configured templates for popular services:

GitHub: Repository management and code search
Notion: Workspace and content management
Linear: Issue tracking and project management
Context7: Advanced AI context management
Asana: Task and project coordination

3. Explore and Select Tools

Click Explore Server to discover available tools, then select which ones to enable:

{
  "tools": [
    {
      "name": "database_query",
      "description": "Execute SQL queries on the database"
    },
    {
      "name": "file_search",
      "description": "Search for files in the repository"
    },
    {
      "name": "create_issue",
      "description": "Create a new issue in the tracker"
    }
  ]
}

4. Configure Authentication

Organization Key (Admin)
User Keys (Enterprise)

Set organization-wide authentication in the server configuration:

{
  "headers": {
    "Authorization": "Bearer sk-org-xxxxx"
  }
}

5. Connect Your AI Tool

Configure your AI coding assistant to use Requesty’s MCP gateway:

Claude Code
Cursor
Roo Code

Claude Code automatically discovers MCP servers through your Requesty API key. No additional configuration needed.

`streamable-http`	✅ Supported	Standard HTTP with JSON streaming
`sse`	✅ Supported	Server-Sent Events for real-time updates
`stdio`	🚧 Coming Soon	Direct process communication

Analytics & Monitoring

Track your MCP usage with comprehensive analytics:

Key Metrics

Request Volume

Total MCP server requests and trends over time

Average Latency

Response times for each server and tool

Success Rate

Percentage of successful tool executions

Tool Usage

Most frequently used tools and servers

Usage Dashboard

Monitor real-time and historical MCP usage through the intuitive web dashboard:

Real-time Metrics: Live monitoring of active MCP requests and server status
Historical Analysis: Trend analysis over time periods (24h, 7d, 30d)
Server Breakdown: Usage statistics per MCP server and tool
Performance Insights: Latency distribution and error rate tracking
User Activity: Individual usage patterns (Enterprise only)

Security & Compliance

Encryption

At Rest: All API keys and sensitive headers encrypted with AES-256
In Transit: TLS 1.3 for all MCP communications
Key Storage: Encrypted database with automatic key rotation

Access Control

Standard Plan
Enterprise Plan

Organization admins manage all MCP servers
Users can view available tools but cannot modify
Shared authentication across the organization

Data Isolation

Complete separation between organizations
No cross-organization data access
Isolated request routing and analytics

Best Practices

Tool Selection

Only enable tools your team actually needs
Review tool descriptions and permissions carefully
Test tools in a development environment first
Regularly audit enabled tools for security

Key Management

Rotate API keys regularly (every 90 days)
Use separate keys for development and production
Never share personal API keys
Immediately revoke compromised keys

Performance Optimization

Monitor latency metrics for each server
Disable unused tools to reduce overhead
Use caching for frequently accessed data
Configure appropriate timeout values

Security Guidelines

Review MCP server documentation before connecting
Validate server certificates and URLs
Use environment-specific configurations
Enable audit logging for compliance

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Server exploration fails

Symptoms: Cannot discover tools from MCP serverSolutions:

Verify the server URL is correct
Check authentication headers are properly configured
Ensure the server supports MCP protocol
Test connectivity with curl or Postman

Tools not appearing in AI assistant

Symptoms: Registered tools don’t show in Claude/CursorSolutions:

Confirm tools are selected and saved
Restart your AI assistant
Check your Requesty API key is valid
Verify organization permissions

Authentication errors

Symptoms: 401/403 errors when using toolsSolutions:

Verify API keys are correctly entered
Check if keys have required permissions
For enterprise: ensure user keys are configured
Confirm keys haven’t expired
