For CTOs & Head of Data/AI

One MCP endpoint. Every AI app.

Point Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT and your in-house agents at one MCP connection. Put catalog apps or any remote MCP server behind it, switch off the tools you don't want used, and check every tool call against your policies.

Then add it to your AI app

1
In Claude, open Settings → Connectors and click Add custom connector.
2
Name it ContextGate and paste this URL:
```
https://api.contextgate.ai/mcp
```
3
Click Add, then Connect, and sign in to ContextGate.
4
In a chat, turn ContextGate on from the + menu → Connectors. Cowork and the desktop app use the same connectors.

The full Claude guide

1
In ChatGPT settings, open Apps & Connectors (or Connectors) → Advanced and turn on Developer mode.
2
Create a connector, choose OAuth, and paste this URL:
```
https://api.contextgate.ai/mcp
```
3
Sign in to ContextGate when ChatGPT redirects you, then pick the connector in a chat.

The full ChatGPT guide

Run this in a terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http contextgate https://api.contextgate.ai/mcp

2
Start Claude Code, run /mcp, choose contextgate and sign in to ContextGate.

The full Claude Code guide

Add to Cursor

Click Add to Cursor, or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "contextgate": {
      "url": "https://api.contextgate.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

2
In Cursor Settings → MCP, sign in to ContextGate when Cursor asks.

The full Cursor guide

Add to VS Code

Click Add to VS Code, or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "contextgate": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.contextgate.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

2
Start the server when VS Code asks, sign in to ContextGate, and use it from Copilot Chat in Agent mode.

The full GitHub Copilot guide

Run this in a terminal:

codex mcp add contextgate --url https://api.contextgate.ai/mcp

2
Then sign in to ContextGate:
```
codex mcp login contextgate
```

The full Codex guide

Run this in a terminal:

gemini mcp add --transport http contextgate https://api.contextgate.ai/mcp

2
In Gemini CLI, run /mcp auth contextgate and sign in to ContextGate.

The full Gemini CLI guide

1
Add a remote (HTTP) MCP server with this URL:
```
https://api.contextgate.ai/mcp
```
2
Apps that support MCP sign-in ask you to sign in to ContextGate the first time they connect.
3
An app that can't sign in can use a workspace API key instead: create one under API keys and add ?api_key=<your key> to the URL.

The pieces your team would otherwise build

Governing MCP tool calls yourself means an MCP proxy, policy middleware and a logging pipeline. ContextGate gives you all three, free, between the AI apps your team uses and the tools they call.

🔌

One endpoint for every AI app

Add ContextGate as a remote MCP server in Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, ChatGPT, Codex or Gemini CLI and sign in. Setup takes minutes.

🧩

Catalog apps or any MCP server

Connect Gmail, GitHub, Salesforce, Slack and other apps from the catalog, or any remote MCP server. Each connection shows its health and flags re-auth.

🎚️

Per-tool switches

Every connection is reachable through the Default Toolbox. Switch off a tool and it is hidden from your AI apps and refused if called.

🔑

API keys for in-house agents

Your own agents connect over MCP with an API key. Create and revoke keys, and see every AI app and key on the Agents page.

Connections

Every tool your AI apps reach, behind one endpoint.

Add apps such as Gmail, GitHub, Salesforce and Slack from the catalog, or any remote MCP server your team already runs. Tool lists sync. Switch tools off one by one: a switched-off tool is hidden from your AI apps and refused if called.

Policies

Policies as plain-English checks.

Write a rule in a sentence. A model that ContextGate manages judges each tool call against it, so there are no model keys to wire up. Add PII redaction and secrets blocking alongside. Every policy applies to every tool call in your workspace.

Plain-English checks

Describe the rule. A model that ContextGate manages judges each call, with no model keys needed. Scope a check to specific tools. A block stops the call; a warn lets it through and puts the warning at the top of the result.

Redact and restore

Personal data in tool results becomes a placeholder before the AI app sees it: 40 built-in types, including UK sort codes, account numbers and NI numbers. When a placeholder comes back in a later call, the tool gets the real value.

Block secrets and patterns

A call whose arguments carry an API key, AWS key, JWT or a pattern you define is blocked, and the secret stays out of the log. Start from 16 policy templates.

Policy nameClient Data ProtectionActive

Started from the UK AML/KYC template, one of 16 including GDPR Strict, PCI DSS and UK FCA Consumer Duty. Applies to every tool call in the workspace.

🔒

PII Redaction Rules

Replaced with placeholders before the AI app sees a result. Tools still get the real values.
