System Overview

Security Architecture

The gateway implements defense-in-depth security:
  1. Client Authentication: OAuth 2.1 tokens validated on every request
  2. Authorization: Scope-based access control for MCP operations
  3. Token Isolation: Client tokens never forwarded to upstream servers
  4. Session Security: Cryptographically secure session IDs with token-aligned expiration
  5. Transport Security: TLS encryption for all connections
  6. Audit Logging: Complete request/response audit trail
