The Model Context Protocol (MCP), open-sourced by Anthropic, has emerged as the standard for connecting LLMs to data sources and development tools. Today, we are excited to launch the Viksa MCP Gateway—a hosted enterprise directory that bridges your production agent fleet directly to developer environments like Cursor and VS Code.

Why Developer Tool Integration Matters

Developers spend their days in the code editor, while production tools live in isolated consoles, CLI tools, or web panels. When writing code, you often need to fetch production schema information, view pod logs, or run staging queries. Instead of copying and pasting secrets, the MCP Gateway connects your developer AI assistant directly to your secure agent tools with full RBAC.

How the Hosted Gateway Works

When you build and deploy an agent on Viksa using `@mcp_endpoint`, the platform registers it in your organization's secure tool directory. The Viksa MCP Gateway exposes these endpoints through a secure, authenticated connection. In Cursor, you simply add the gateway URL, and all your tools are synced automatically.

      ]
    }
  }
}

Security and Auditability

Unlike local servers running on developer machines, the hosted gateway routes every tool execution through Viksa Vault. This means every action is logged, rate-limited, and subject to organizational access controls. If an AI assistant tries to fetch sensitive database keys in Cursor, the action is blocked, and an alert is recorded in the audit trail.

The Viksa MCP Gateway turns your code editor's AI assistant into an active member of your engineering fleet. It closes the loop between writing code and inspecting live infrastructure.
