### AI overview

Uber's MCP Gateway provides a shared way for AI agents to discover and call internal APIs across more than 800 MCP servers and 5,000 tools. Its control-plane MCP Registry stores tool schemas, ownership and enablement settings; the runtime Proxy Gateway translates MCP requests to HTTP, gRPC or TChannel and returns MCP-compatible results. AutoCrawler generates tool schemas from Protocol Buffers and Thrift definitions, but discovered tools stay disabled until their owners approve them. Authorization applies at server and tool levels, with sensitive-response redaction; a separate service exchanges internal tokens for third-party credentials. Omni MCP supports search and incremental tool discovery, while Response Projection limits returned fields. The excerpt also notes that Uber's aifx CLI lets coding agents invoke tools and save results to files.

### Source excerpt

Uber has built an MCP Gateway to standardize how AI agents discover and invoke internal services across more than 800 MCP servers and 5,000 tools. The gateway separates tool registration from runtime execution and includes automated API discovery, access controls, sensitive data redaction, incremental tool discovery through Omni MCP, and response filtering.
