# What is an MCP gateway?

Source: https://corespeed.io/glossary/mcp-gateway

An MCP gateway is one remote MCP server that fronts many tools and app accounts behind a single sign-in. Your agents add one address instead of a config entry per tool. The gateway holds the credentials, applies one approval policy and one spend limit, and writes one activity trail. CoreSpeed's gateway is api.corespeed.io/mcp.

It rests on the documentation: [MCP server](https://corespeed.io/docs/mcp)
