About SmartGate MCP

What SmartGate is

The intelligence layer between AI and the world — MCP-native runtime for research, context, memory, and control. It is an MCP-native algorithm gateway: you keep your own host model (Cursor, Claude Desktop, OpenClaw, and other MCP clients) and connect SmartGate as a tool server over Streamable HTTP with Bearer auth.

Five capabilities — Research, Context, Memory, Control, and Pipeline — run on seven smart_* primitives through one runtime so your host model keeps reasoning while tool traffic stays bounded and auditable.

What SmartGate is not

SmartGate is not an LLM proxyand not another chat assistant. We do not replace your model provider. We govern what agents fetch, search, compress, deduplicate, and budget-cap before that traffic reaches the model bill.

Who it is for

We build for teams shipping agent workflows who need token control, traffic shaping, and audit trails — and for individuals who want research-grade answers without wiring MCP plumbing themselves. Product questions go to support; partnership and press use the contact form.

How the intelligence layer is organized

Brand category is AI Intelligence Layer; the technical description is an MCP-native algorithmic gateway for AI agents. Human Interface paths (Web and app experiences) emphasize Smart Research, Smart Decision, Smart Knowledge, and Smart Intelligence without requiring users to understand MCP. Agent Interface paths expose MCP and API so builders embed Research, Context, Memory, Control, and Pipeline once instead of rebuilding fetch, dedup, compression, budget guard, memory, and orchestration per agent.

The seven smart_* tools are algorithm primitives, not seven separate products. Marketing that leads with tool names alone understates the category. Outcomes belong on the value layer; tools belong on the mechanism layer. Competitive framing follows the same rule: assistants stay assistants, research apps stay apps, model gateways stay model routers—SmartGate stays information intelligence governance between hosts and the open web.

We do not position SmartGate as another AI assistant, a ChatGPT alternative, an AI search engine, an LLM proxy, or a model router. We do not invent customer logos, fixed savings percentages, or concurrent capacity figures on this page. Fair-use rate limits on Free and Playground soft-fail with HTTP 429 by design; upgrade paths raise shared-workspace entitlements without changing the Streamable HTTP origin agents already call.

Day-to-day operations live in Documentation: mint a key, paste Connect JSON into your host, confirm Activity Logs, then compose pipes for recurring research. Pricing explains platform fees, Gainshare, and plan ceilings. Solutions pages segment teams, agent builders, and individuals while sharing the same runtime underneath.
