MCP gateway vs per-server auth: 5 servers, 5 OAuth flows, 5 log formats
worldnews555 · reddit · 2026-11-05
A developer running 5 MCP servers (Jira, GitHub, Postgres, 2 internal APIs) describes the pain of per-server OAuth and logging: every new agent requires rewiring credentials, and debugging means grepping 5 log formats. They're weighing a centralized MCP gateway (candidates: Composio, NeuralTrust TrustGate, Arcade.dev, LiteLLM's gateway) against standardizing auth inside each server, and asking the community for real-world experience.
