We’re excited to announce the release of Obot MCP Gateway v0.13.0. This update introduces composite MCP servers, fine-grained tool access control, expanded audit capabilities, new admin tools, and a range of improvements across the UI, backend, and deployment experience.
Composite MCP Servers and Fine-Grained Tool Access Control
Admins and owners can now create composite MCP servers, combining multiple servers into a single deployment and selecting exactly which tools from each server to expose. This enables you to:
Expose only the tools you want from each server, giving you precise control over what’s available to different user groups.
Override tool names and descriptions for clarity and customization.
Use access control rules to grant different groups access to different versions of a composite server.
Composite servers make it easy to deliver curated, unified experiences—whether you’re supporting different teams, managing multiple integrations, or just want “a single server to rule them all.”
Audit Log Export
Audit capabilities have been expanded with the ability to export audit logs directly from the UI. Admins and auditors can:
Create one-time or scheduled exports of audit logs.
Export to Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, or any S3-compatible backend.
Filter logs before export for targeted reviews or compliance needs.
Manage and review export jobs from a dedicated UI.
Server Scheduling and Resource Controls
For Kubernetes deployments, you now have centralized control over how MCP servers are scheduled and resourced:
Configure global resource requests, limits, scheduling policies, and pod annotations for all MCP servers.
Set these controls via the UI or Helm chart, depending on your workflow.
Define affinity, tolerations, CPU/memory requests, and more—either at deployment or on the fly.
This gives you greater consistency and flexibility across your Kubernetes environments.
Update Notifications for Admins and Owners
Admins and owners will now see notifications in the UI when a new version of Obot is available. This helps you stay up to date with the latest features and fixes. (You can disable update checks by setting the OBOT_SERVER_UPDATE_CHECK_INTERVAL_MINS environment variable to 0.)
Improved Auth Provider Setup
The first-time setup process has been streamlined:
Configure authentication and model providers right from the start, with a guided flow.
No more extra logins or manual steps—setup is faster and more intuitive for new installations.
