The hidden challenge of MCP adoption in enterprises in 2025
Blog post from Portkey
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) facilitates the connection of AI agents with tools, APIs, and enterprise systems, but its ease of use has led to a proliferation of MCP servers, creating challenges for large organizations. This unchecked growth results in server sprawl, where IT teams struggle to maintain oversight, and users face confusion about which servers are safe and supported. The lack of a centralized management system exacerbates issues related to security and compliance, as servers proliferate without consistent oversight, posing risks such as data exposure and compliance violations. To address these challenges, enterprises need to implement governance frameworks that include centralized discovery, access control, observability, and compliance guardrails. The adoption of an MCP gateway is crucial, providing a single entry point for server interactions, ensuring consistent security measures, centralized observability, and controlled consumption, thus transforming scattered experiments into a reliable part of enterprise workflows. As a solution, Portkey proposes an MCP Hub, a governance-first gateway aimed at giving enterprises centralized control over their MCP servers, ensuring sustainable and secure adoption at scale.
