Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check MCP Gateway every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Connect this server

MCP Gateway — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP Gateway?

MCP Gateway runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @authzx/mcp-gateway.

How do I connect MCP Gateway?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @authzx/mcp-gateway straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

Is MCP Gateway open source?

Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript, 0 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
