Cortega AI Gateway sits in the request path of the AI your products, internal services, and agents run on. It applies policy, protects sensitive data, governs MCP tool calls, and routes models, all on infrastructure you control.
Cortega AI Gateway governs the AI traffic behind the systems your business runs on: customer-facing agents, internal copilots, model gateways, and the MCP tools those agents call. Platform, security, compliance, and business teams share one place to see it, control it, and prove it.
Every request from a product, internal service, or agent passes through the gateway, so policy applies before the call completes, not after the fact in a log review.
MCP servers, tool definitions, permissions, and tool calls get the same identity, policy, audit, and observability as everything else in the request path.
Commercial providers, private models, and local LLMs are all governed the same way. Route by cost, latency, or capability without changing agent code. Not sure which models to route to? Try the Model Recommender.
Single sign-on, role-based access, hash-chain-verified audit evidence, and hard budget enforcement at key, user, team, or org level, all in one platform.
Cortega AI Gateway is deployed inside your own infrastructure, not Cortega's. Prompts, responses, tool calls, and sensitive telemetry stay in the environment you already control. Every request is verified before it's allowed to proceed: who's calling, which tool, which model, and which provider.
Every call earns trust before it proceeds. Nothing is allowed through on the assumption that an earlier check somewhere else was enough.
Commercial APIs, private models, and local LLMs are covered by the same policies, so switching to a local model doesn't mean losing governance.
Cortega AI Gateway added about 0.33ms of latency per request on LiteLLM's own AIGatewayBench, while also enforcing policy, protecting data, and governing MCP calls on that same request.
Production agents, internal copilots, MCP servers, model access, or all of the above. We'll map the first useful control point.
