Solo.io, a leading innovator in cloud-native application networking, has unveiled its new MCP Gateway, a groundbreaking solution designed to simplify and secure the development of AI agents within Kubernetes environments.
As the AI ecosystem continues to evolve, developers are increasingly turning to microservices and container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes to build scalable and efficient agentic applications. However, integrating these agents into production workloads has presented challenges related to service discovery, communication, and security. Solo.io’s MCP (Mesh Control Plane) Gateway addresses these obstacles by providing a robust communication and management layer tailored for AI agents.
The MCP Gateway enables developers to manage interactions between AI agents and cloud-native services more efficiently, offering features such as secure ingress and egress routing, traffic shaping, policy enforcement, and observability. It also integrates with Solo.io’s Gloo Platform, allowing teams to standardize how AI agents connect with internal APIs, third-party services, and other agents across distributed environments.

“AI agents are becoming core building blocks of modern applications, and our customers need a seamless way to bring them into their cloud-native infrastructure,” said Idit Levine, founder and CEO of Solo.io. “MCP Gateway empowers platform engineering teams with a control point that simplifies the deployment and governance of these agents, helping organizations accelerate their AI-driven initiatives securely and at scale.”
The launch of MCP Gateway comes at a time when enterprises are rapidly exploring agent-based architectures, where AI agents operate autonomously or collaboratively to carry out complex tasks. By ensuring connectivity, reliability, and control, Solo.io’s latest offering positions itself as a critical tool for organizations aiming to harness the power of AI in production.
Solo.io plans to showcase MCP Gateway’s capabilities at upcoming industry events and is offering early access to enterprise customers through its technology preview program.
