MCP Manager

MCP Manager, by Usercentrics, is an enterprise governance and security layer for the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It sits as a governed gateway between AI clients (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and custom agents) and MCP servers — SaaS tools, internal databases, and custom servers — authenticating every request, brokering per-user or shared identities, inspecting traffic against gateway rules (regex, Microsoft Presidio, and custom rule engines) for PII and prompt-injection defense, provisioning tool allowlists, and logging every call with full attribution plus OpenTelemetry export to any SIEM. It ships an Admin API and MCP server (closed beta) that manage servers, gateways, identities, hosts, teams, roles, and logs over both MCP tools and a REST twin.

MCP Manager is listed with 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, MCP, AI Governance, API Gateway, and Security.

The MCP Manager catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

MCP Manager’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, authentication, and 21 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):

Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author
A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
Rate-Limit Signaling +7 pts — OpenAPI responses document X-RateLimit-* / RateLimit headers (verified), else a rate_limits artifact or RateLimits link (documented)
Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link
