MCP servers sit behind the gateway

Shivanath Devinarayanan · Updated

On this page

MCP is how agents get tools. Host and map them on the gateway: client ID, access control, tool mapping, spike control, logging. Per-tenant entitlement belongs here as a pattern (business groups), not as a named customer pack.

MCP servers are tools, not a second estate. If the gateway cannot refuse the call, it is a leak. Canonical models and governed APIs so those tools have something honest to call are Integration Architecture . The gateway page is one front door .

Agents

Agentforce agents and peer workers call tools. They do not hold a private map of MCP servers.

MCP servers

Tools on the right of the gateway. Hosted and mapped. If the gateway cannot refuse the call, it is not a tool. It is a leak.

Host, map, refuse

Agents sit on the left. The gateway is the middle. MCP servers sit on the right. Mapping is by tool name the policy can actually refuse. Spike control is a rate the runtime can read, not a slide after a bill.

Slack as a surface that calls these tools is surfaces . Scopes and MCP in channel are the lock on Slack AI Governance .
