Agentgateway is an open source proxy built on AI-native protocols (MCP & A2A) that provides drop-in security, observability, and governance for agent-to-LLM, agent-to-tool, and agent-to-agent communication across any framework and environment.
Intro to Agentgateway Video
Key Features
-
LLM Gateway
Route traffic to major LLM providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Bedrock, and more) through a unified OpenAI-compatible API with budget and spend controls, prompt enrichment, load balancing, and failover. -
MCP Gateway
Connect LLMs to tools and external data sources via MCP with tool federation, stdio/HTTP/SSE/Streamable HTTP transports, OpenAPI integration, and OAuth authentication. -
A2A Gateway
Enable secure agent-to-agent communication using A2A, with capability discovery, modality negotiation, and task collaboration. -
Inference Routing
Intelligent routing to self-hosted models using Kubernetes Inference Gateway extensions, with decisions based on GPU utilization, KV cache, LoRA adapters, and queue depth. -
Guardrails
Multi-layered content filtering with regex, OpenAI moderation, AWS Bedrock Guardrails, Google Model Armor, and custom webhooks. -
Security & Observability
Auth (JWT, API keys, OAuth), fine-grained RBAC with CEL policy engine, rate limiting, TLS, and OpenTelemetry metrics/logs/tracing.
Getting Started
- Standalone Quickstart — Get started with agentgateway in minutes.
- Kubernetes Quickstart — Deploy on Kubernetes using the built-in controller and Gateway API.
Documentation
Depending on your deployment environment, check out the following docs:
- agentgateway.dev/docs: For deployments without the full Kubernetes controller, driven by flat yaml config.
- agentgateway.dev/docs/kubernetes/latest: For Kubernetes-based deployments using the built-in Kubernetes controller and Gateway API support.
Agentgateway has a built-in UI for you to explore agentgateway connecting agent-to-agent or agent-to-tool:
