I got excited when I started seeing all the MCP endpoints showing up. Slack. Google. Microsoft. Salesforce. Reddit? I thought: finally - a standard way for AI to integrate with enterprise tools. So I started building an enterprise MCP gateway. Simple use case: 30,000 employees running Copilot or Claude. All connecting to MCP tools. Step 1: build a gateway. Step 2: connect directory. Step 3: assign MCP tools to users. So far so good. Then reality started stacking up. Problem You can’t let 30,000 employees authenticate directly to every MCP endpoint. So the gateway uses admin credentials.
