> Use this tool when you need to securely manage access to Model Context Protocol servers, as it provides a reverse proxy with authentication, rate limiting, and access control, accepting MCP requests as input and outputting proxied responses. It solves problems related to server security, scalability, and observability, making it ideal for deployments requiring fine-grained control and monitoring. Ideal for use cases involving multiple MCP servers, high traffic, or sensitive data.
