Agentgateway is an open source data plane optimized for agentic AI connectivity within or across any agent framework or environment. Agentgateway provides drop-in security, observability, and governance for agent-to-agent and agent-to-tool communication and supports leading interoperable protocols, including Agent2Agent (A2A) and Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Tip
Want to use agentgateway in Kubernetes? Check out the kgateway.dev/docs/agentgateway docs. Agentgateway is a supported data plane for the kgateway project, which provides a control plane to dynamically provision and manage agentgateway with the Kubernetes Gateway API.
- Highly performant: agentgateway is written in rust, and is designed from the ground up to handle any scale you can throw at it.
- Security First: agentgateway includes a robust MCP/A2A focused RBAC system.
- Multi Tenant: agentgateway supports multiple tenants, each with their own set of resources and users.
- Dynamic: agentgateway supports dynamic configuration updates via xDS, without any downtime.
- Run Anywhere: agentgateway can run anywhere with any agent framework, from a single machine to a large scale multi-tenant deployment.
- Legacy API Support: agentgateway can transform legacy APIs into MCP resources. Currently supports OpenAPI. (gRPC coming soon)

Depending on your deployment environment, check out the following docs:
- agentgateway.dev/docs: For standalone deployments such as local or on-prem. These docs are for this upstream
agentgateway/agentgatewayGitHub project. - kgateway.dev/docs/agentgateway: For Kubernetes-based deployments. These docs are for the agentgateway data plane that is supported by the
kgateway-dev/kgatewayGitHub project. Kgateway provides a control plane to dynamically provision and manage agentgateway with the Kubernetes Gateway API.
Agentgateway has a built-in UI for you to explore agentgateway connecting agent-to-agent or agent-to-tool:
