Releases, MCP notes, and agent cost engineering from an MCP-native intelligence layer—not an LLM proxy. Posts explain how tool traffic is shaped, capped, and audited before it reaches your host model bill.
SmartGate sits between AI agents and the open web: fetch, search, compress, deduplicate, budget-guard, remember, and pipe through one Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint. You keep Cursor, Claude, OpenClaw, or your own runtime for reasoning. These articles stay English-first and aligned with the Positioning Bible—five capabilities powered by seven algorithm primitives, without invented customer logos or fixed savings percentages.
Start with the MCP gateway primer if you need category language, the Connect walkthrough if you are wiring Cursor today, token-cost notes if FinOps is asking why loops bill without warning, and pricing notes if you need plan and Paddle context. Product docs remain the SSOT for endpoint contracts, tool schemas, and plan catalog entitlements.
Free and Playground use strict fair-use rate limits; bursts soft-fail with HTTP 429 by design. Est. USD saved in the product is a gateway counterfactual for comparing tool paths, not a restatement of your vendor LLM invoice. For setup after you finish reading, use Quick Start, Connect Guide, and Dashboard Connect.
