MCP Gateway: clients authenticate once to Portkey (API key or IdP token, with Okta/Auth0 supported), and the gateway checks per-server and per-tool access, injects upstream credentials (OAuth tokens, API keys or identity headers) and logs each request and response. The open-source gateway repo is MIT. Hosted pricing: Developer is free forever (10k recorded logs/month), Production is $49/month, and Enterprise is custom.
