AI agents reach real systems through Model Context Protocol (MCP), often with static keys and standing permissions. The Britive MCP Gateway puts every one of those connections behind policy, showing each identity only the tools it's entitled to and brokering the credentials behind them just in time.
Bring Least Privilege to Every Tool Call
The Model Context Protocol has become the connective tissue between AI agents and the systems they act on. Every MCP server an agent connects to is another door into your data, infrastructure, and SaaS. Most of those doors are propped open with static API keys and broad, standing permissions.
As agents chain tools together to finish a task, the access problem compounds:
- Long-lived secrets and API keys embedded in agent and MCP server configurations
- No runtime control over which tools an agent can call, or what it can do once connected
- Agent actions that can't be traced back to a specific identity or an authorizing human
- Tool calls that reach MCP servers deep inside the network, with no consistent point of control
- Over-scoped permissions that give a single tool call reach far beyond the task at hand

The Britive MCP Gateway
The Britive MCP Gateway sits between MCP clients and the MCP servers they call. Deploy it inside your own network, point agents and users at it as their single MCP endpoint, and every downstream tool call — to an internal or an internet-hosted MCP server — is intercepted, authorized, and credentialed by Britive before it runs.

A Single, Controlled Entry Point for Every MCP
An agent or user configures the Britive gateway as its only MCP. The tools the gateway publishes are exactly the tools that identity is entitled to — nothing more. Access you don't have is access you can't even see. It's granular access profiles, applied to the world of MCP tools.

Runtime Tool Authorization
Every tool invocation is intercepted at the gateway and evaluated against Britive policy before anything runs. Tools are modeled as resources with their own policies, so you decide precisely which identities can invoke which tools — and the answer is enforced at call time, not baked into a static config.

Just-in-Time (JIT) Ephemeral Permissions
Britive's patented JIT technology grants temporary, task-specific permissions provisioned at the time of request and automatically revoked after the task or session is complete. True JIT ensures that no identity, including AI agents, hold permissions longer than necessary across cloud infrastructure, SaaS platforms, and even agentic MCP-based workflows.
[ 004 ]
On-Behalf-Of Privilege Boundaries
The gateway can check out access on behalf of the identity calling it. When an agent acts for a person, on-behalf-of binds the request to that person's own privileges, so the agent can never exceed them, and that identity is propagated to the downstream resources the tool touches. Verified delegation without privilege escalation.

Capture Agent Context and Intent
Sitting between the agents and MCP servers lets the Gateway see the content of tool requests. The Gateway can also inject additional instructions, forcing the agent to share the user prompt and its goals for using the tool. Context and intent are captured, informing policy decisions on each tool call.
[ 006 ]
Verifiable Identity for Agents, Users, and Gateways
Identities authenticate to the Gateway with standards-based methods like SPIFFE or OAuth. The Gateway registers to the Britive platform using workload federation, SPIFFE, or a scoped pool token. Every actor in the path is a known, verifiable identity.

Full Interception Means Full Audit
Because every tool call flows through the gateway, each one is attributable to a named identity, logged, and streamable to your SIEM and SOAR. You see which agent called which tool, with what permissions, on whose behalf, and when, without reconstructing it after an incident.

Agentic Identity Security Capabilities
Britive extends its same cloud-native access security to agentic AI identities through a single, unified platform. Secure agentic AI identities and workflows in your environment without sacrificing speed and efficiency.
Ephemeral, Just-in-Time Cloud Access
Temporary access is scoped and granted when needed, and revoked automatically when the task is complete. No standing credentials or long-term risk, so AI agents only operate with the minimum required permissions. Eliminate privilege creep and improve security posture across all identities.
Unified Visibility and Auditing
Automatically log and monitor privileged activity in real-time across all identities, human, non-human, and AI-based, to support audit readiness, compliance, tracking, and risk analysis. Security gains end-to-end visibility into the when, where, and with what permissions AI agents act. Streamline compliance, threat detection, and forensic investigations.
Secrets Management and Credential Vaulting
Secure, temporary access to sensitive credentials and privileges for secrets that can’t be made ephemeral for additional flexibility to meet technical requirements and workflows. Enforce least privilege access while keeping credentials protected and audit-ready.
Cloud-Native DevOps Integrations
Britive integrates seamlessly across automated workflows with a frictionless, agent-less, API-first architecture. Secure agentic AI and other NHI or cloud-driven automations that are integral to the DevOps lifecycle. Eliminate the bottlenecks of traditional PAM solutions by securing AI agents and NHIs operating within CI/CD environments or infrastructure-as-code (IaC) without using privileged accounts, hardcoded secrets, or manual provisioning.
