NyxGate · MCP security gateway

    Give your agents tools.
    Not your data.

    NyxGate is the security gateway between AI agents and the MCP servers they use as tools. It checks what tools tell your agents, what your agents send to tools, and stops the call that turns a hidden instruction into a data leak.

    The problem

    Agents take instructions from everything they read.

    An agent with tools is only as trustworthy as the least trustworthy thing in its context. Three ways that goes wrong, all seen in the wild:

    01

    The tool itself lies

    A tool's description can carry instructions the user never sees. And a server you approved last month can quietly change what its tools do today.

    02

    The content carries orders

    A web page, a GitHub issue, an email or even the text in an image tells the agent to fetch a secret and send it somewhere. The agent obliges.

    03

    The call does the damage

    A path that escapes the project, a URL pointing at your cloud's metadata service, a DROP TABLE, a force-push. Once the call is made, it's too late.

    One session, replayed

    Your agents read untrusted content. NyxGate decides what they do next.

    A GitHub issue, a web page or an email can quietly tell an agent to send your data somewhere else. NyxGate is the security gateway between AI agents and their MCP tools. It follows data through the session and stops the one call that would carry it out.

    Swap one URL
    Every MCP server gets its own NyxGate address. Point the client at it. No SDK, no agent code to change.
    Both directions
    Poisoned tool descriptions, silently changed tools and injected results on the way in. Dangerous arguments, secrets and personal data on the way out.
    Observe, then enforce
    Every rule starts by reporting what it would have done. Switch to enforcement server by server, when the evidence says you can.
    Credentials stay put
    Upstream tokens are held by the gateway, so they never sit in a developer's config file.

    How it works

    In front of your agents in an afternoon.

    1. 1

      Register the server

      Add an MCP server in NyxCommand. NyxGate gives it its own address, and keeps the server's credentials so developers never handle them.

    2. 2

      Point the agent at it

      Swap one URL in Claude, Copilot, Cursor or your own agent. No SDK, no code changes, no new client to roll out.

    3. 3

      Watch, then enforce

      Every rule starts by reporting what it would have done. Turn enforcement on server by server, when the evidence says it's safe.

    What it stops

    The attacks that matter, in both directions.

    NyxGate is built against a catalogue of 106 MCP threats in nine families. Here is what that means in practice.

    Poisoned and shape-shifting tools

    Hidden instructions in tool descriptions and schemas, invisible characters, tools that change after approval, lookalike server names, one server's tools steering another's.

    Injected content

    Instructions buried in tool results, documents, resources and images, including encoded and invisible payloads, before they reach the model.

    Dangerous arguments

    Path traversal, command and SQL injection, requests to internal networks and cloud metadata, and destructive actions, which are confirmed with the user first.

    Data exfiltration

    Data that came from an untrusted source leaving through another tool, leaks split across many small calls, image beacons, and credentials passed from one tool to the next.

    Identity and sessions

    Token passthrough, spoofed identities, replayed requests and hijacked sessions. Where you require it, each member consents before acting through a shared credential.

    Supply chain and shadow MCP

    Local servers pinned to exactly what was approved, internal package names fetched from public registries, tampered client configs, and MCP servers running without the gate.

    Plus rate limits, data-residency rules and a hash-chained audit that reports its own gaps.

    Why NyxGate

    An MCP gateway that understands data, not just traffic.

    1. 01

      Precision, not panic

      Most gateways flag a whole session the moment an agent reads a web page, so their rules end up switched off. NyxGate traces each argument to the content it came from, and blocks only the call that carries it out.

    2. 02

      Privacy that adds up across calls

      Five harmless lookups to an enrichment API can describe one person. NyxGate measures anonymity across the tool calls of a session with the same engine that protects your prompts, and generalizes before the threshold is crossed.

    3. 03

      Personal data out, answers intact

      Names and identifiers in tool arguments are swapped for placeholders on the way out and restored in the answer on the way back, so the tool works and never sees them.

    4. 04

      Approvals that mean something

      An approval covers the exact tool version, argument shape and destination. Change any of them and NyxGate asks again, naming what changed, instead of relying on "always allow".

    5. 05

      A receipt, not a log

      Every session closes with an Ed25519-signed receipt that can be verified offline, and every decision lands in a hash-chained activity log in NyxCommand.

    6. 06

      Part of the suite

      Same console, policy and evidence packs as NyxEndpoint and NyxCloak. Agent incidents sit beside people incidents, and your EU AI Act record covers both.

    Two ways to run it

    In the cloud for your remote servers. On the laptop for local ones.

    Cloud gateway

    Managed · multi-tenant

    For remote MCP servers used across the organization. One address per server, credentials brokered, every decision streamed to NyxCommand.

    • Streamable HTTP and SSE, stateful servers included
    • Per-server policy, only ever tighter than the org's
    • Data-residency and jurisdiction rules

    Local guard

    Next to desktop MCP servers

    For the servers developers launch on their own machines. It wraps the server in the client's config and guards both pipes.

    • Pins exactly what it launches
    • Hands the server only the environment you allow
    • Confines file access to the folders you choose
