Agentgateway on Cloudron - Rust, AI-native gateway for MCP, A2A and LLM traffic

-
Main Page: https://agentgateway.dev
-
Licence: Apache 2.0
-
Dockerfile: Yes (official container image, single binary, standalone non-Kubernetes mode supported)
-
Demo: Built-in web UI via the standalone quickstart at https://agentgateway.dev/docs
- Summary: agentgateway is an open source, AI-native proxy that sits between your AI agents and the things they talk to: MCP tool servers, LLM providers, and other agents. It federates multiple MCP servers behind a single endpoint with a unified tool catalogue, handles OAuth 2.1, and gives you OpenTelemetry observability over every tool call. It is also an LLM gateway, so the same instance can route to Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, and self-hosted models through one OpenAI-compatible API with failover and spend controls. A standout feature is turning existing REST APIs into MCP tools directly from their OpenAPI specs, with no new server code. It runs as a single Rust binary with zero dependencies and starts in standalone mode in a couple of minutes, which makes it a clean fit for a Docker-based Cloudron app rather than a Kubernetes-only deployment.
- Notes: I like that it is a Linux Foundation project rather than a single-vendor product, written in Rust, and that it collapses the MCP gateway and the LLM gateway into one box. For a self-hoster this means one authenticated control point in front of both your tool servers and your model providers, with per-call cost and usage visibility. It was donated by Solo.io and is backed by Microsoft, T-Mobile, Dell, CoreWeave and Akamai, with contributors including AWS, Cisco, Huawei, IBM and Red Hat, so the funding and governance look durable. Concerns: the project is still early in its Linux Foundation lifecycle, so RBAC (Role-Based Access Control) and some governance features are maturing, and configuration is YAML plus xDS rather than a polished admin UI. The MCP gateway category as a whole is young and moving fast, so versions should be pinned.

Alternative to / Libhunt link: Open source alternative to Docker MCP Gateway, IBM ContextForge (mcpgateway) and Obot, and to commercial options such as Lunar.dev MCPX and MintMCP. No Libhunt entry located yet, as the project is new.

There is now a Cloudron Community Package for agentgateway:
Lets hope we can have an officially supported agentgateway soon
