Cursor utilise le même schéma mcpServers que Claude Desktop. La config projet l'emporte sur la globale.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

  "mcpServers": {
    "microsoft-mcp-gateway": {
      "command": "mcp-gateway",
      "args": [
        "serve"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cliquez sur l'icône MCP Servers dans la barre latérale Cline, puis "Edit Configuration".

  }
}

Même format que Claude Desktop. Redémarrez Windsurf pour appliquer.

~/.continue/config.json

{

        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Ajoutez dans context_servers. Zed recharge à chaud à la sauvegarde.

claude mcp add microsoft-mcp-gateway -- mcp-gateway serve

Une seule ligne. Vérifiez avec claude mcp list. Supprimez avec claude mcp remove.

Cas d'usage

Usages concrets : Microsoft MCP Gateway

Stand up an internal MCP catalog with one auth boundary

👤 Platform engineering teams ⏱ ~15 min intermediate

Quand l'utiliser : You have 10+ MCP servers and need centralized auth, quotas, and observability.

Prérequis

Server/skill installed and authenticated — See repo README

Déroulement

Deploy the gateway

Generate Helm values for mcp-gateway with our Entra OIDC issuer and three backend MCPs: github, jira, snowflake.✓ Copié

→ values.yaml + helm command
Register

Register each backend and assign it to the 'engineering' tenant with a 1000 req/hr quota.✓ Copié

→ Three backend ids + quota set

Résultat : One URL, one OIDC, many MCPs — properly governed.

Pièges

Session affinity is critical for stateful servers. If you switch to a stateless backend, also disable affinity to avoid hotspots. — Session affinity is critical for stateful servers. If you switch to a stateless backend, also disable affinity to avoid hotspots.

Outils

Ce que ce MCP expose

Outil	Entrées	Quand appeler	Coût
list_backends	(none)	See registered MCP servers	1 API call
register_backend	name, image, env	Add a new MCP server behind the gateway	K8s scheduling
tenant_quota	tenant_id	Inspect or adjust per-tenant limits	1 API call

Coût et limites

Coût d'exécution

Quota d'API: See provider docs for rate limits
Tokens par appel: Varies by tool
Monétaire: See repo README for pricing details
Astuce: Cache tool results and avoid repeated identical calls.

Sécurité

Permissions, secrets, portée

Stockage des identifiants : Use environment variables; never commit secrets

Sortie de données : Tool calls go to the provider's API as documented

Dépannage

Erreurs courantes et correctifs

backend unhealthy

Gateway probes GET /healthz. Make sure your MCP server implements it or update healthCheck.path.

Vérifier : kubectl get pods -n mcp

OIDC validation fails

Issuer URL must match the token's iss claim exactly, including trailing slash. Recheck Entra app config.

Vérifier : Decode token at jwt.ms
