Every LLM call,through one governed gate.
AI Gateway is the pass-through layer for all LLM traffic in your organization. Models, routers, MCP servers, guardrails, policies, budgets, access control, audits, and request logs — one control plane, in front of every provider.

- Model & router management
- MCP registry
- Guardrails
- Policies
- Budgets
- Access control
- Audits & request logs
Everything passes through. Nothing goes around.
SWAP A MODEL, ROTATE A KEY, OR TIGHTEN A POLICY — WITHOUT TOUCHING A SINGLE APP.
Register. Govern. Observe.
- 01
Register. Providers, self-hosted models, and MCP servers go into one registry; keys live in the vault, apps get scoped gateway credentials — never raw provider keys.
- 02
Govern. Policies and guardrails (PII redaction, topic filters, output schemas), RBAC per team and app, budget caps with hard or soft enforcement, and routing rules with fallbacks.
- 03
Observe. Every request logged and replayable — model, tokens, cost, latency, policy verdict — with audit exports and per-team chargeback built in.
Because "everyone has an OpenAI key" is not a platform.
The moment LLMs spread past one team, you inherit shadow keys, unbounded spend, unlogged prompts carrying customer data, and apps hard-wired to a single provider. AI Gateway centralizes the mess: one endpoint, one policy engine, one bill.
It's also how you stay portable — when a better or cheaper model ships, the router change is one line in the gateway, not a release across twelve apps.
Three places it earns its keep.
One endpoint for the whole org
New teams onboard with a scoped gateway key in minutes — no provider accounts, no shared secrets, no procurement loop per project.
Compliance without slowing teams down
PII redaction at the gate, topic filters per policy, and a replayable audit log of every prompt — the review that used to block launches becomes a query.
Dozens of agents, one control plane
Agents share models and MCP tools through the gateway — routed by cost and latency, metered per agent, and capped before one runaway loop eats the month's budget.
