The AI Gateway for Agents, LLMs, and MCP
agentgateway secures and governs agent-to-agent traffic, LLM access, and MCP tool calls with zero-trust security, audit logs, and the policy controls a compliance-ready agent platform needs, built on an open, self-hosted foundation you control.

Why Teams Choose Us
“We can’t tell whether our agents are calling approved tools or leaking data to the wrong LLM.”
agentgateway sits in front of every agent-to-agent and agent-to-tool call, so you can see, control, and audit LLM and RAG traffic instead of trusting it blindly.
“Every cloud vendor has their own AI gateway, and none of them work outside that one cloud.”
agentgateway is open source and self-hosted, so it runs anywhere Kubernetes does, not just inside one vendor’s walled garden.
“Security and finance won’t sign off on agentic AI without audit logs and cost controls.”
agentgateway gives you audit logs, cost controls, and zero-trust security by default, so compliance is built in rather than bolted on after the fact.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is agentgateway?
What is agentgateway?
agentgateway is Solo's open source, AI-native gateway purpose-built to secure and govern traffic to LLMs, RAG pipelines, and MCP tools, along with agent-to-agent (A2A) communication.
Is agentgateway also an LLM gateway?
Is agentgateway also an LLM gateway?
Yes. agentgateway handles LLM traffic natively, including access control, cost visibility, and audit logging for calls to your LLM providers, alongside its support for MCP and A2A protocols.
Does agentgateway work as an MCP gateway?
Does agentgateway work as an MCP gateway?
Yes. agentgateway secures and observes MCP tool calls, so you know which agents are calling which tools and can enforce policy on that traffic the same way you would for any other API call.
How is agentgateway different from a cloud provider's AI gateway platform?
How is agentgateway different from a cloud provider's AI gateway platform?
agentgateway is open source and self-hosted, so it isn't tied to one cloud. Unlike a walled-garden ai gateway platform from a single vendor, you can run it anywhere Kubernetes runs without re-architecting when you change providers.
Do I need an enterprise contract to use an open source ai gateway like agentgateway?
Do I need an enterprise contract to use an open source ai gateway like agentgateway?
Most production deployments choose Solo's enterprise support for the SLAs, audit tooling, and production hardening a compliance-ready platform needs. The underlying project is open source and donated to a vendor-neutral foundation under the Linux Foundation, so it also remains free to run on your own if you'd rather self-support.
