Securing MCP in Production: Defense-in-Depth beyond the Gateway
This article presents a defense-in-depth approach for securing Model Context Protocol (MCP) deployments in production. It outlines four architectural control layers: safe execution, management infrastructure, outbound trust, and semantic integrity, arguing that production security requires enforcement beyond the gateway at the earliest trustworthy control points.

An Evolutionary Architecture Pattern for Managing AI’s Pace of Change
Traditional API gateways assume deterministic services and simple schemas - assumptions agentic AI breaks. Discover why enterprise engineering leaders are adopting AI Gateways as an evolutionary architecture seam. Centralize guardrails, model routing, agent identity, action policy, and semantic audit within a single control plane to prevent costly incidents while keeping core platforms stable.

Building a Secure MCP Server on AWS for a Million-Company B2B Platform
We wanted to expose a B2B intelligence platform built on more than one million company profiles to an LLM client through an MCP server so a user can ask “find SaaS companies in Germany with 50-200 employees” and receive results through the LLM client. The engineering problem was: how do you make that workflow useful without creating an unsafe bridge between an LLM and production data?

CodeGuardian: a Model Context Protocol Server for AI-Assisted Code Quality Analysis and Security Scanning
CodeGuardian is an MCP server that extends AI coding assistants with comprehensive code quality and security analysis capabilities. By implementing eleven specialized tools, CodeGuardian enables developers to access enterprise-grade analysis directly through their AI assistant, eliminating context-switching and reducing friction in adopting secure coding practices.

Building a Least-Privilege AI Agent Gateway for Infrastructure Automation with MCP, OPA, and Ephemeral Runners
This article presents a least-privilege AI Agent Gateway that places clear controls between AI agents and infrastructure. Agents do not access infrastructure APIs directly. Instead, every request is validated, authorized using policy as code with Open Policy Agent (OPA), and executed in short-lived, isolated environments, with built-in observability using OpenTelemetry.
