Citadea MCP Gateway
Native MCP, terminated at the edge
The Model Context Protocol, terminated at the edge and treated as a first-class citizen of the platform.
Overview
MCP proxies integrated into Citadea load balancers. AI agents read context, structure API payloads and query databases directly via the open-source Model Context Protocol, with Anycast edge termination, cryptographic auth, per-agent rate limiting and real-time observability.
Agents talk to your systems, safely
MCP proxies built into the Citadea edge let agents read context, structure API payloads and query data over the open Model Context Protocol. Cryptographic authentication, per-agent rate limiting and real-time observability keep machine-to-machine traffic under control.
Compared to self-hosted MCP and AWS Agent Gateway.
