SmartGate — MCP-native gateway for token control, traffic shaping, and agent audit.
SmartGate is an MCP-native algorithm gateway. It sits between your AI agents and the open web, compressing, deduplicating, and hard-capping tool traffic — before runaway agent loops become a line-item surprise.
SmartGate is not an LLM proxy. You keep your own model provider (Cursor, Claude, OpenClaw, etc.) and connect SmartGate as an MCP tool server.
What you can do
- Connect any MCP client that supports Streamable HTTP (MCP 2025-03-26) and Bearer authentication — see MCP Endpoint
- Route agent fetches, searches, compression, dedup, budget checks, memory, and pipelines through one gateway
- Monitor usage, savings estimates, and audit trails in the Dashboard
