A self-hosted MCP gateway, in your own cloud

Statio Enterprise runs as licensed containers in your infrastructure, with per-tool access, agent identity, an encrypted credential vault and a full audit trail, and every key and log line stays on your side.

Why teams run the gateway themselves

  • Keys that never leave your network

    A gateway holds the credentials for every API your agents reach. Running it yourself means those secrets sit in your own infrastructure, under your own key management.
  • Data residency and review

    Tool arguments, responses and the audit trail stay inside your cloud and region, which is often what a security review or a regulator asks first.
  • Internal servers stay internal

    MCP servers in front of internal databases and services are reachable from your own network without opening them to a managed service.

Questions

No. Self-hosted Statio ships as licensed containers you run in your own cloud. If open source is a requirement, Docker’s MCP Gateway, Microsoft’s mcp-gateway and IBM’s ContextForge are maintained open-source projects worth evaluating.

No. It is the same gateway, per-tool grants, agent identity, credential vault, threat scanning and audit trail, running in your infrastructure instead of ours.

Yes. Free through Business run on Statio’s managed cloud, so you can evaluate with real servers this afternoon and talk to us about self-hosting when you need it.

On Google Cloud Run. Servers are either hosted by Statio or proxied, when you run them yourself and connect them by URL.
