# One URL for every MCP server your team uses

MCP1 is an MCP gateway for teams, made by Appwrite. It puts a team’s Model Context Protocol servers behind one URL, so every AI agent connects once, signs in as the person using it, and reaches only the tools that person is allowed to use.

## Why we built it

MCP1 started as Appwrite’s own gateway. Appwrite is a fully remote company with people in more than 15 countries, so most of what we know lives in the systems we run on: our clusters and deploys, metrics and errors, customer conversations and product data. Once agents could reach those systems through MCP, everyone configured every server in every client, tokens ended up in local config files with more access than the task needed, and nobody could tell which agent had called what, or as whom.

So we put one gateway in front of everything. Each person connects to one URL and signs in with their own account. Groups decide what each team can reach, the tokens stay in the gateway, and every call is checked against our rules and written to an audit log. That gateway is the product we now offer to every team, and Appwriters still work through it.

## Who makes it

MCP1 is built and operated by Appwrite Code Ltd., the company behind Appwrite, the open-source development platform used by developers around the world. MCP1 runs on Appwrite Cloud: its sign-in, OAuth server, database and hosting are Appwrite’s own. Eldad Fux, Appwrite’s founder and CEO, writes most of the [MCP1 blog](https://mcp1.com/blog).

## How we handle your data

Server tokens, OAuth grants and call arguments are encrypted with AES-256-GCM, every endpoint uses TLS, and workspace data is hosted in Frankfurt. A DPA is available for every workspace and a BAA on Enterprise. The [privacy policy](https://mcp1.com/privacy) and [terms](https://mcp1.com/terms) have the details.
