概要
Colloid functions as an API gateway specifically designed for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), centralizing the management, security, and orchestration of diverse MCP servers. It sits between LLM applications and various MCP servers (such as GitHub, Slack, or custom tools), seamlessly distributing requests and enabling combined tool functionalities with namespacing. The gateway enhances resilience, observability, and security through features like authentication, rate limiting, and tracing, providing a robust and streamlined interface for integrating LLM-powered applications with external tools and services.
