MCP Gateway Architecture: Intelligent Dynamic Routing, SSE Multiplexing & Resiliency

Answer-first: MCP Gateway architecture solves N×M connectivity fragmentation by decoupling AI agent clients from distributed tool providers through persistent SSE connection multiplexing, Redis Token Bucket rate limiting, and dynamic tool schema routing. In production, a Go-based gateway delivers sub-4ms P99 proxy latency while protecting downstream backends with distributed circuit breakers and centralized OAuth 2.1 token introspection. ← Part 3: Identity & AuthN | Next Chapter: Part 5: Production Security & OWASP MCP Top 10 → ...
