Product Deep-Dive

Aieges Smart Gateway

Transparent MCP intercept layer that inspects every AI tool call in real time.

The Smart Gateway sits between your AI clients (Claude, Gemini, Codex, Grok) and your MCP servers. Every tools/call request passes through the Gateway for policy evaluation, threat detection, and audit logging — all at sub-2ms latency.

MCP Protocol Interception

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) defines how AI models call external tools. The Smart Gateway intercepts these calls at the transport layer using Streamable HTTP, providing:

Request Inspection

Every tools/call, tools/list, and resources/read request is parsed, validated against your policy rules, and logged before forwarding.

Response Validation

Responses from upstream MCP servers are also inspected. The Gateway can redact sensitive data, inject audit metadata, or reject responses that violate content policies.

Streamable HTTP Transport

The Gateway uses MCP's Streamable HTTP transport for bidirectional communication. This enables real-time streaming of tool results while maintaining the inspection pipeline.

Routing Prefixes

Tool calls are routed based on their name prefix. This allows the Gateway to segment traffic and apply different policies per operation type.

memory_*

Memory operations routed to MNEMON or compatible memory backends.

memory_storememory_retrievememory_search

plan_*

Planning and orchestration tool calls routed to the planner service.

plan_createplan_executeplan_review

hybrid_*

Operations requiring both memory and planning, fanned out to multiple upstreams.

hybrid_synthesizehybrid_checkpointhybrid_federate

Model-Agnostic Multiplexer

The Smart Gateway is model-agnostic. It works with any AI client that speaks MCP, regardless of the underlying model:

Claude

Gemini

Codex

Grok

Multiple AI clients can connect simultaneously. The Gateway multiplexes requests across upstream MCP servers while maintaining per-client audit trails and policy enforcement.
