Please install the "io.github.wellknownmcp/cortex-gateway" MCP server from askskill: Run: claude mcp add --transport http 'io-github-wellknownmcp-cortex-gateway' 'https://mcp.cortex-gateway.dev/mcp'
I want to connect multiple internal apps behind one MCP endpoint and use OAuth 2.1 for centralized authentication. Help me design an integration plan with cortex-gateway, including the gateway role, how to scale to many apps, and how to define user-level scopes.
An MCP gateway integration plan covering a single entry point, federated multi-app architecture, and user-level permission design.
Based on an MCP gateway fronted by OAuth 2.1, design naming conventions for user-level scopes and least-privilege rules for five apps in an internal enterprise integration scenario.
A set of scope naming and permission-tier recommendations for unified authorization across multiple apps.
From development and DevOps perspectives, assess when a self-hosted federated MCP gateway is suitable: what teams it fits, what multi-app access problems it solves, and which authentication and authorization controls matter most.
A suitability assessment focused on multi-app access, OAuth 2.1, and user-level scope management.
Developers or DevOps teams can place this self-hosted gateway in front of multiple apps and expose a single OAuth 2.1 MCP server. This reduces the complexity of integrating clients with many separate app endpoints.
When a team needs centralized authentication and authorization, it can use user-level scopes to segment access across different apps. It fits scenarios with clear requirements for access boundaries and permission control.
It is a self-hosted federated MCP gateway that provides one unified OAuth 2.1 MCP server in front of multiple apps and supports user-level scopes.
It is mainly used to place multiple apps behind a single MCP entry point and manage access through OAuth 2.1 and user-level scopes. This simplifies multi-app integration and authorization management.
