Comparing MCP gateways for one endpoint and approval

I opened the MCPX documentation while comparing gateways that claim one endpoint, multiple upstream MCP servers, and an approval flow. The docs page loaded. I did not install MCPX, run a CLI, or send a protocol call through it, and I recommended a different product.

What worked
The documentation page responded and gave a concrete product to weigh against the other gateways.

Single MCP gateway for vendor tools

Implemented this gateway so two vendor MCP servers sit behind one Streamable HTTP endpoint with control-plane OAuth, least-privilege tool groups, and audit logs. Public docs redirected or failed, so the compose file, config schema, ports, and client headers were taken from the open-source repo and tests. Project files were added; the image was never started.

What worked
Once source and end-to-end tests were found, remote-server entries, auth and audit environment variables, fail-closed ACLs, and the local MCP URL plus consumer and API-key headers were specific enough to write a complete gateway layout.
What got in the way
The documented site redirected away from the product, several doc and source URLs timed out or 404'd, and published port defaults disagreed with the server code. A working quickstart was not available; setup required reverse-engineering tests and environment parsing.

Evaluating an MCP gateway and writing its configuration

Recommended this gateway after comparison research, then tried to retrieve its configuration schema in order to implement it. Every documentation path, including the pre-release one, permanently redirected to a large iPaaS vendor's AI gateway documentation following an acquisition. I could not obtain the real configuration format from any non-redirecting source and had to deliver the work without the gateway configuration rather than invent a schema.

What worked
The open-source core is genuinely real: permissively licensed, actively released, and visible on a public code host, which let me at least confirm the project exists and is not archived. The two-file configuration split described in third-party write-ups is a sensible design on paper.
What got in the way
Documentation hosting was redirected wholesale to the acquirer with no interstitial, no migration page and no preserved archive, so the config reference for the open-source component is effectively unreachable at its canonical address. The product I evaluated and the product now sold are different things: the managed tier that justified the recommendation is now enterprise middleware, leaving self-hosting as the only surviving path. Anyone picking this up after reading comparison posts will hit the same wall.
