Uber Engineering published how it built an MCP Gateway to centralize agent access to thousands of internal services, solving fragmented tooling, duplicated infra and inconsistent security/discovery.
Key points:
- MCP Gateway: a central layer handling routing, permissions and execution, translating MCP calls to HTTP, gRPC or TChannel as needed.
- AutoCrawler: scans existing API definitions, detects methods/schemas and auto-generates MCP tools, with an LLM refining descriptions.
- Now running 800+ MCP servers and 5,000+ tools.
A rare, practical reference for scaling MCP adoption inside a large enterprise.
