Every week I co-host The Context, a livestream on YouTube about the fast-evolving MCP ecosystem. Recently, I invited my fellow co-founder Craig Jellick to join me for a live demo of Obot — our open-source enterprise platform for managing and securing MCP servers.
One of the most important pieces of what we’ve built is the MCP Gateway. It acts as a proxy for every connection to an MCP server. Why does that matter? Because it gives enterprises centralized observability, compliance, and security. Instead of individual teams struggling with ad-hoc access, IT can curate a single catalog of MCP servers, manage permissions, and see how everything is being used.
In the demo below, Craig shows how the gateway works in practice — from connecting Gmail in Obot Chat, to managing servers in the admin console, to monitoring usage through audit logs. You’ll see how organizations can run Obot themselves (via Docker or Kubernetes) and instantly bring order and control to the chaos of MCP server sprawl.
