Obot AI Launches MCP Gateway to Help Enterprises Manage, Secure, and Scale AI Integration

The unified, open-source control plane enables enterprise IT teams with "connective tissue" for
their AI tools for popular platforms like Office365, Jira, GitHub, Gmail, and more.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Obot AI today announced the launch of the Obot MCP Gateway, a free, open-source platform now available on GitHub.The gateway enables IT organizations to securely manage and scale adoption of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers—critical infrastructure for connecting AI tools and agents to enterprise systems and data.

As AI moves from experimentation to production across the enterprise, employees are rapidly creating and consuming MCP servers to power intelligent agents. MCP servers make it possible to connect LLMs to tools like Outlook, Jira, Salesforce, internal APIs, and databases, but without centralized governance or security, organizations face growing risks.

"MCP servers are the connective tissue between AI and the enterprise," said Sheng Liang, CEO of Obot AI. "But without proper controls, they create more chaos than value. Obot gives IT the governance they need, and users the access they want, so AI can actually start driving business impact at scale."

Obot AI brings a unified, open-source control plane that enables IT teams to onboard MCP servers, define access policies, enforce security and compliance and help users find and connect to the MCP servers they need all from a single platform.

The Obot MCP Gateway includes:

• Administrative Control Plane — IT can onboard, manage, and update MCP servers, define access policies, and monitor usage through a modern UI or GitOps.
• MCP Hosting & Proxying — Host your own MCP servers or proxy secure access to third-party ones, with full audit and routing control.
• User Catalog & Discovery — Employees get a self-service catalog of approved MCP servers, complete with documentation, capabilities, and support.
• Instant Connection URLs — Users and Developers can connect MCP servers directly to tools like Claude Desktop, Cursor, VSCode, enterprise chat clients, or custom agents.

Obot ships with a set of curated connectors for popular platforms like Office365, Jira, GitHub, Gmail, Redis, ElasticSearch, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB, with support for both local and remote MCPs.

Why It Matters Now

MCPs are becoming the standard for how AI agents interface with real-world systems. Without a control layer, organizations risk shadow infrastructure, data exposure, and fragmented adoption.

Obot gives IT the visibility, security, and control to embrace AI—without losing governance.
