Open-source control plane for Docker MCP Gateways?

1•GeneBordegaray•3h ago
TL;DR: I built a control plane to run many Docker MCP Gateways with guardrails (SSO/RBAC, policy-as-code, audit, cost/usage). Thinking about open-sourcing the core. Would this be useful to you? What would you need to adopt it?

What it does today

Fleet orchestration: Provision/scale multiple Docker MCP Gateways per org/env, health checks, zero-downtime updates.

Identity & access: SSO/OIDC, SCIM, service accounts, org/env/gateway-level RBAC.

Policy-as-code: Guardrails for who can deploy what, egress allow/deny, rate limits/quotas, approvals.

Secrets & keys: KMS-backed secret injection + rotation (no raw env vars).

Audit & compliance: Immutable logs for auth/config/tool calls; exportable evidence (SOC2/ISO mappings).

Observability & cost: p95/p99 latency, error budgets, usage & cost allocation per tenant.

Hardening: Rootless/read-only containers, minimal caps, mTLS, IP allowlists.

If open-sourced, what’s in scope (proposal)

Agents/operators that supervise gateways, plus Terraform/Helm modules.

Baseline policy packs (OPA/Rego) for common guardrails.

Dashboards & exporters (Prometheus/Grafana) for health, latency, and usage.

CLI & API for provisioning, config, rotation, and audit export. (Thinking Apache-2.0 or AGPL—open to input.)

What stays managed/commercial (if there’s a cloud edition)

Multi-tenant hosted control plane & UI, SSO/SCIM integration, compliance automations, anomaly detection, and cost/chargeback analytics.

What I’d love feedback on

Would you self-host this, or only consider a SaaS? Why?

Must-have integrations: Kubernetes, ECS, Nomad, bare metal?

License preferences (Apache/MIT vs AGPL) and why.

Deal-breakers for adopting: security model, data residency, migration path, etc.

What’s missing for day-1: backups/DR, blue/green, per-tenant budgets, something else?

Would your team contribute policies/integrations if the core is OSS?

Who I think this helps

Platform/DevOps teams wrangling 5–50 MCP servers and multiple environments.

Security/compliance teams who need auditability and policy guardrails out of the box.

Startups that want to avoid building “yet another control plane” around Docker MCP.
