# Lian MCP Gateway

> Self-hosted MCP gateway: one Model Context Protocol endpoint in front of all your MCP servers, with per-group and per-tool access control, company SSO (SAML), encrypted secrets, an AI studio that writes and tests new tools, and a full audit trail of every tool call. Open source (MIT). Runs as a single Docker container.

Use Lian MCP Gateway when an organization wants AI clients (Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT or any MCP client) to reach internal systems such as GitHub, Jira, Grafana, Postgres, Slack or AWS without handing every user every token, while controlling who can call which tool and keeping a record of each call.
