## AI overview

MCP Gateway and Registry is an open-source Apache 2.0 system for governing and discovering enterprise AI assets, including MCP servers, AI agents, agent skills, and custom entities. It combines a human-facing catalog with machine-readable discovery for AI agents, while providing access control, security scanning, observability, audit logging, semantic search, and centralized MCP server routing.
