Two different layers of the MCP stack. DataFaucet generates servers from any web app. MCP gateways proxy and manage servers that already exist. Most teams need one or both depending on where their gap is.
| Feature | DataFaucet Free tier | MCP Gateway |
|---|---|---|
| What it does | ✓ Generates custom MCP servers by capturing API traffic from any URL | ✓ Proxies requests between MCP clients and existing MCP servers |
| Creates new MCP servers | ✓ Yes (from any web app, no code required)free | ✗ No (routes traffic to servers that already exist) |
| Auth layer | ✓ Built-in (captures auth from browser session, serves via API key) | ✓ Yes (adds OAuth, API key, or token auth to any MCP connection) |
| Works with internal tools | ✓ Yes (any URL a browser can reach, including private dashboards)free | ~ Only if an MCP server already exists for that tool |
| Monitoring and logging | ~ Basic usage stats in dashboard | ✓ Full request logging, latency metrics, cost tracking |
| Rate limiting | ~ Plan-based limits on server calls | ✓ Configurable per-client and per-server rate limits |
| Setup complexity | ✓ 60 seconds (enter URL, browse, deploy)free | ~ Requires existing MCP servers to proxy, plus gateway configuration |
| Multi-server routing | ~ Each server is independent (one URL per captured app) | ✓ Single gateway endpoint routes to multiple backend servers |

Want to see it in action?
60 seconds from URL to working MCP server. No code.
An MCP gateway assumes you already have MCP servers. It adds infrastructure on top: authentication, rate limiting, monitoring, multi-tenant access control. Cloudflare, Portkey, and similar providers offer this layer.
DataFaucet assumes you do not have an MCP server yet. Point it at any web app, browse normally, and it generates a fully hosted MCP server from the API calls your browser makes. No code, no existing server required.
For teams adopting MCP: start with DataFaucet to generate servers for your tools, then add a gateway later if you need enterprise access control across your fleet of servers.
