Enterprise IT Can’t Afford MCP Chaos—Here’s the Fix
Working in IT at a company with a change management process? How are you handling MCPs? Not at all? With very expensive tools not up to the task? How about just making it fit into your current setup!
If you've tried integrating Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers into your enterprise workflows, you know the frustration. Current tools are either too basic—built for single users or local demos—or overly complex, requiring extensive engineering resources to maintain. It's like choosing between a tricycle or a spaceship for grocery shopping. Neither fits your needs, and both leave you frustrated.
That's why we created the Enterprise MCP Bridge. It's a FastAPI-based solution that brings MCP servers into the practical world of enterprise IT. Think of it as your enterprise-grade command center for MCP integration—secure, scalable, and remarkably easy to use.
Why We Built This
My first encounter with MCP left me impressed by the protocol's elegance but disappointed by its ecosystem. Most implementations were consumer centric and single-user, temporary, and lacked the robustness needed for real-world applications. They worked fine for experiments but collapsed when scaled or integrated into modern micro services architectures.
Security was another major gap. OAuth? Token management? You were completely on your own. Some MCPs have it, but then they require each user to set up separately.
We set out to change this by building a solution that could handle the complex, demanding environment of enterprise IT—something that could scale, secure, and simplify MCP integration without forcing you to reinvent the wheel.
What Makes Enterprise MCP Bridge Different?
Here's what sets it apart:
Multi-User, Multi-Session Support The Enterprise MCP Bridge handles everything from single sessions to hundreds of concurrent users. It isolates user contexts with OAuth tokens and supports both stateless and stateful interactions. Run long-term workflows or quick one-off tool calls with equal ease.
Integrated Security Security is built into the core design. With OAuth2 token exchange, automatic token injection, and seamless token refresh, you can focus on building tools rather than worrying about securing them.
Developer-Friendly API We prioritize REST, provide auto-generated OpenAPI docs, and implement structured error handling—giving you everything needed to get started quickly. Every tool from your MCP server automatically maps to a REST endpoint, eliminating manual configuration.
Scalability While the default in-memory session manager works well for small deployments, you can easily switch to a distributed backend like Redis or a database when you need to scale. Horizontal scaling is fully supported.
Observability Built-in structured logging and monitoring give you clear visibility into system operations. Track requests, monitor performance, and troubleshoot issues effortlessly.
The Developer Experience
Here's how simple it is: Clone the repo, install the app, and start the server. Within minutes, you're exploring your MCP tools through swagger. Need a custom token provider? Just extend the TokenRetrieverFactory. Want a different session manager? Implement a subclass of SessionManagerBase. Everything is designed for intuitive flexibility. And don’t forget to create PRs for your additions! We are looking forward to your contribution!
The Road Ahead
We're just getting started. Our upcoming features include:
Distributed session management with Celery, Redis, and Postgres.
Support for additional authentication providers.
Rate limiting and per-user quotas.
WebSocket streaming for long-running tools.
Extensible auth and session management frameworks.
We’re excited to have a better way to work with MCPs in big companies, if you have other needs ot ideas for the roadmap please join us and contribute - see https://github.com/inxm-ai/enterprise-mcp-bridge for more!
