# mcp-gate

> mcp-gate — runlit-mcp-gate. Use this tool when you need to manage access to multiple MCP toolkits, serving them behind a single server with fine-grained access control. It solves the problem of securely exposing toolkits to authorized callers, while hiding unauthorized ones, and supports both stdio and streamable HTTP interfaces with bearer-token authentication. Ideal for use cases requiring capability-based access control and centralized toolkit management.
