The MCP Gateway is a powerful tool that unifies different AI service protocols like REST and MCP into one easy-to-use endpoint. It helps you manage multiple AI tools and services securely with features like authentication, retries, rate-limiting, and real-time monitoring through an admin UI. You can run it locally or in scalable cloud environments using Docker or Kubernetes. It supports various communication methods (HTTP, WebSocket, SSE, stdio) and offers observability with OpenTelemetry for tracking AI tool usage and performance. This gateway simplifies connecting AI clients to diverse services, making development and management more efficient and secure.

A generic, spec-compliant, thorough implementation of the #OAuth request-signing logic for python
OAuth often seems complicated and difficult-to-implement. There are several prominent libraries for handling OAuth requests, but they all suffer from one or both of the following:
They predate the OAuth 1.0 spec, AKA RFC 5849.
They predate the OAuth 2.0 spec, AKA RFC 6749.
They assume the usage of a specific HTTP request library.
OAuthLib is a generic utility which implements the logic of OAuth without assuming a specific HTTP request object or web framework. Use it to graft OAuth client support onto your favorite HTTP library, or provide support onto your favourite web framework. If you’re a maintainer of such a library, write a thin veneer on top of OAuthLib and get OAuth support for very little effort.

OAuth 2 Simplified
Sun, Jul 29, 2012 9:30am -07:00
Many services such as #Facebook, #Github, and #Google have already deployed OAuth 2 servers, and deployed implementations win.
The #OAuth 2 spec itself leaves many decisions up to the implementor. Instead of describing all possible decisions that need to be made to successfully implement OAuth 2, this post makes decisions that are appropriate for most implementations.
This post is an attempt to describe OAuth 2 in a simplified format to help developers and service providers implement the protocol.
