Bud MCP Foundry

Organizations that spent years building their systems shouldn't have to rebuild for the agentic future. That's why we built Bud MCP Foundry — a platform that turns your existing tools, workflows, and knowledge into governed MCP tools, while federating 1,000+ third-party MCPs through a unified control plane, so your organization is agent-ready without rebuilding.

What is Bud MCP Foundry

The unified control plane to automatically produce, federate, and govern MCP tools at enterprise scale.

Bud MCP Foundry produces the MCP capabilities your enterprise needs from your internal APIs, documentation, knowledge, and systems, federates 1,000+ third-party MCPs, and governs every agent-tool interaction through one control plane. So any MCP-compliant agent can do real work with your organisation.

Industry-first four-tier tool management for complete MCP coverage

Orchestrate external MCPs.
1,000+ third-party MCPs — Slack, Notion, GitHub, Atlassian, Composio, Zapier — federated and governed instantly.
Unlock stdio-only tools.
Tools like Drive, Gmail, and Postgres ship as local CLIs, not remote services. The platform auto-bridges them so any agent can use them at scale.
Auto-create MCPs that don't exist.
Internal systems get MCPified from your docs and APIs. Minutes, not months.
Bring your own tools in.
Skills, prompts, resources, and A2A agents — registered and governed in the same catalog.

Federated hybrid architecture

Your data stays where regulators require. Your agents still work across every boundary.

One catalog. Many zones.
Each compliance zone, region, or business unit gets its own Foundry instance with its own audit trail. Agents see a single unified capability surface. The boundaries are enforced underneath, invisible to consumers.
No cross-zone data leakage. By design.
Data never leaves its zone. Capabilities are federated. Auditors see clean separation. Operations teams see clean isolation.
No GPUs required.
The Foundry runs on classical CPU infrastructure. GPU-hosted intelligence stays in a separate zone. Your ops team runs what they already know.

Enterprise governance plane

Identity, authorization, scoping, encryption, audit. One plane. Every call.

SSO with the IdP you already run.
Google, Entra ID, Okta, Keycloak, GitHub. Plug into your existing identity stack on day one.
Fine-grained authorization at every level.
Three-scope RBAC, multi-tenant team isolation, and policy hooks at every lifecycle stage. Scope access down to a single tool.
Zero plaintext. Anywhere.
Credentials, tokens, and passwords are encrypted at rest and in transit. The platform refuses to boot on weak defaults.
Full forensics on every invocation.
Immutable, tamper-evident audit logs. Know who did what, with whose permission, at what cost, on every single call.

Effortless Governance

One control plane.
Zero blind spots.

Every tool invocation, whether third-party, auto-bridged, AI-generated, or native, routes through the same plane. One audit trail. One policy engine. One place to answer “who did what, with whose permission, at what cost?”

01
See everything
Per-agent and per-tool dashboards across every tier. Latency, cost, anomalies, all in one view.
02
Enforce everything
Auth, RBAC, rate limits, and data residency applied uniformly. No tool bypasses the plane.
03
Control everything
Versioning, deprecation, rollback, and budget enforcement per agent, per tenant, per workspace.
Effortless Compliance

Enterprise ready.
From day one.

The controls your security, legal, and compliance teams require are built in, not bolted on. RBAC, SSO, data residency, immutable audit trails, and exportable compliance reports ship at deployment. Not after a retrofitting sprint.

Bud MCP Gateway

Every protocol in. One MCP surface out.

Five transport protocols normalized into a single dispatch layer. Agents issue standard MCP calls. The gateway handles the rest.

PROTOCOL INPUTS DISPATCH CONSUMER SURFACE HTTP / JSON-RPC Server-Sent Events WebSocket Streamable HTTP 2025-06-18 Stdio auto-bridged BUD GATEWAY MCP gateway unified dispatch protocol normalization · capability merge tools/list unified tools/call dispatched resources/list composed prompts/list federated consumers issue standard MCP calls — Bud MCP Gateway dispatches to the right backend
Unified dispatch via Bifrost
Four tiers of tools, remote hosted, stdio-bridged, AI-generated, and internal, routed transparently through a single catalog. Agents never see the seams.
Virtual server composition
Bundle tools, resources, prompts, and A2A agents into curated endpoints. Different teams, different surfaces, same underlying catalog.
Bud Smart Discovery

Don't dump 1,000 tools into the model's context.
Send the three it needs.

Most MCP setups stuff the entire tool catalog into every prompt — burning tokens, blowing context windows, confusing tool selection. Bud Smart Discovery is semantic retrieval for tools. Per query, only the relevant ones reach the LLM.

Architecture

Seven layers of clean separation.

Every request traverses the full middleware stack before reaching a backend service. This design enforces consistent security, observability, and policy behavior regardless of which component is accessed.

Layer 01
Consumer
AI agents, commercial assistants (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor), open-source frameworks (LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, LangGraph), React Web Dashboard, REST/CLI/SDK clients, federated peer Foundries.
Layer 02
Transport
Five protocols normalized into a consistent API surface: HTTP / JSON-RPC, Server-Sent Events, WebSocket, Streamable HTTP (spec version 2025-06-18), stdio (auto-bridged).
Layer 03
API Gateway
Single entry point built on a high-performance ASGI framework with ORJSON serialization. Validates, routes, applies middleware, serves OpenAPI, exposes /health, /ready, /health/security.
Layer 04
Middleware stack
Ordered pipeline: CORS, compression, security headers, protocol validation, token scoping, authentication, RBAC, request logging, observability instrumentation.
Layer 05
Backend services
Six services operating in concert: Federation, Gateway, Tool, Team Management, A2A, and MCP Server. Each with defined responsibility and telemetry.
Layer 06
MCP Registry
Four-tier unified registry: remote hosted, self-hosted stdio-bridged, AI-generated, and internally managed. Virtual server composition on top.
Layer 07
Data & observability
Redis cache and session state. PostgreSQL 14+ (or MySQL 8+ / MariaDB 10.6+) with SQLAlchemy 2.0 and Alembic migrations. LogFire, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus instrumentation.
08  ·  Security

Defense-in-depth.
No plaintext credentials. Anywhere.

Security is foundational to the platform's design, not an afterthought. Authentication is enforced by default on every API, protocol, and administrative endpoint. Admin surfaces are disabled unless explicitly enabled.

Four containment perimeters · no plaintext at the core.

at the core No plaintext credentials. Anywhere. Enforced at the schema level · refuses to boot on weak defaults.
Observability

Agent-level trails for every interaction.

Agent behavior is non-deterministic. When something goes wrong, the question is never just "what call failed" but "what was the agent trying to do, with what context, and what sequence of calls led here."

LogFire

Dedicated logging for AI agent activity. Per-agent activity trails across tool invocations, skill executions, prompt renderings, and A2A communications. Built for post-incident analysis and compliance reporting at enterprise scale.

OpenTelemetry

W3C Trace Context propagation. Export to OTLP (gRPC/HTTP), Jaeger, Zipkin, or console. Traces stored in the platform's own database when external infrastructure is unavailable.

Prometheus

Metrics on every HTTP endpoint: request counts, duration histograms, size histograms. Per-tool, per-gateway, per-server, per-agent, per-skill, per-prompt counters. Exposed via /metrics/prometheus with GZip.

Health & HA

/health, /ready, /health/security endpoints. Auto-healing with separated enabled/reachable status. Active-active multi-region. PostgreSQL streaming replication. Redis Sentinel/Cluster.

Industry applications

Built for your industry.
