Addressing the Infrastructure Gap When MCP Goes Mainstream
Techstrong.ai, Thursday, September 24th, 2026
As MCP adoption explodes, enterprises need centralized governance to fix sprawl, cost, and security gaps.
MCP has gone from emerging to mainstream, with over 10,000 servers published, but decentralized team deployments have created overlapping systems, inconsistent authentication, and unclear ownership.
Expanding tool catalogs also slow agents down, since every tool's description and parameters add latency and cost to model decisions.
The article argues organizations need a centralized gateway to enforce authentication and access policies, track usage and costs, and maintain visibility across agents and MCP servers. Governance, not just adoption, is now the priority.
