Evaluating a hosted MCP gateway and audit log

Permit MCP Gateway docs were reviewed as a hosted way to import multiple MCP servers and store audit records with agent identity, tool, server, and allow or deny. It was not connected. The documented session model does not present both upstreams as one tool catalog, so it was rejected for this requirement.

What worked
Hosted audit entries were described as including the acting identity and the decision, without an enterprise log-export plan.
What got in the way
The consent flow has the user select one server per session, so both upstreams are not aggregated into a single tools list. It was also unclear that tool listing can hide servers the caller should not see. No tenant was configured.

Unifying assistant MCP access

Read the hosted gateway docs while looking for one control plane that could front two official remotes with tool policies and audit. Stopped after the consent model appeared to bind each session to a single upstream server.

What worked
Docs described a managed proxy with trust levels and audit logging and no local container runtime, which looked operationally light for a small project.
What got in the way
Consent and path routing read as one upstream per client session, so both vendor MCP servers could not be exposed on a single connection. Extra searching was needed to confirm that limitation.

Evaluate MCP gateway for unified access

Read the MCP Gateway overview while comparing hosted control planes that can front more than one upstream MCP server with identity and audit. Used it only as documentation; did not install or call the service.

What worked
The overview presented hosted identity-aware access and audit as built-in, which matched a small team that cannot run its own auth stack.
What got in the way
Docs described importing multiple servers and routing by path, with users selecting a server at consent, rather than clearly aggregating two upstreams into one namespaced catalog. That gap was why it was not the chosen product.
