Enables n8n workflows to trigger MCP tools through the gateway, providing access to enterprise databases with security and audit logging.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@MCP Enterprise Gateway Show me the latest 10 users from the enterprise DB, redacting sensitive columns."
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
A production-grade MCP (Model Context Protocol) proxy server with enterprise security features including JWT authentication, SQL AST guardrails, Kafka audit logging, and rate limiting.

JWT Verification - All requests require valid Bearer token
Role-Based Access Control - 5 roles: admin, senior_analyst, junior_analyst, hr_admin, readonly
Redis Rate Limiting - Sliding window rate limits (100 req/min per user)
Blocks destructive operations: DROP, DELETE, TRUNCATE, ALTER
Enforces table-level access policies
Column-level PII redaction
Automatic LIMIT injection for SELECT queries
/healthz - Basic liveness check
/readyz - Full dependency check (PostgreSQL + Kafka)
Kafka audit events for all query attempts
