Traffic Mediation

This section focuses on implementing visibility and control over MCP server network communications through API gateways, proxies, and network monitoring to detect and prevent malicious activity.

Key Practices

• Route outbound calls through API gateways like Kong
• Log request/response metadata for all MCP communications
• Apply rate limiting, schema validation, and cost controls
• Implement traffic inspection and anomaly detection
• Establish network segmentation and egress filtering

Implementation Guide

This section will provide:

• API gateway configuration for MCP traffic
• Logging and monitoring setup for network communications
• Rate limiting and abuse prevention strategies
• Network segmentation architectures
• Integration with SIEM and security monitoring tools

Risk Mitigation

Addresses threats including data exfiltration, command and control communications, denial of service attacks, and unauthorized access to external services.
