Enterprise AI gateway and MCP gateway unifying 250 plus models with routing, guardrails, observability, and governance across SaaS, VPC, and air gapped deployments.

TrueFoundry provides an enterprise grade AI gateway that unifies access to more than 250 models from providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, and Mistral through a single OpenAI compatible API, with centralized key management, intelligent routing, failover, guardrails, rate limiting, observability, and flexible deployment. It sits directly in the production inference path as a control plane between applications and model providers, managing routing, governance, security, and cost without requiring changes to application logic. The company is independent, recognized in Gartner platform engineering research, and has expanded its control plane through the acquisition of Seldon AI.

The gateway enforces role based access control, single sign on, OAuth, and policy controls including PII and toxicity guardrails across all LLM traffic, and provides ClickHouse backed analytics for cost and usage breakdowns by model, team, user, or metadata. Reliability features include latency based and weighted routing, health based failover, semantic caching that can cut redundant calls, and support for both hosted and self hosted open source models such as Llama and Mistral through vLLM, SGLang, KServe, and Triton. Reported scale reaches billions of requests a month with multi region and high uptime targets.

A distinguishing capability for agentic use cases is a native MCP gateway. It exposes virtual MCP servers that aggregate tools like database queries, API calls, and file access behind one managed endpoint, injects OAuth identity so agents act as specific users with user level permissions on every tool call, and supports hybrid deployment where sensitive tools stay on premise while reasoning happens in the cloud. Deployment spans fully managed SaaS, customer cloud, VPC, on premise, and air gapped, with data residency controls. Pricing includes a free Developer tier for prototyping, a Pro tier from $499 a month for small teams shipping real features with usage based limits, and a sales led Enterprise tier for strict data controls and advanced governance, with a self hosted gateway plane running roughly $600 a month in cloud infrastructure.

Integrations

One OpenAI compatible API to 250 plus models across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Groq, and Mistral, with routing, failover, caching, and guardrails. Native MCP gateway with virtual MCP servers and OAuth identity injection connects tools like Slack, GitHub, Confluence, and Datadog. Compatible with LangChain and OpenAI SDKs, and serves self hosted models via vLLM, SGLang, KServe, and Triton.

In practice

Your enterprise needs one governed endpoint for every provider with RBAC and audit. TrueFoundry gives a single OpenAI compatible API across 250 plus models, enforcing single sign on, quotas, and PII guardrails on all traffic.

Your agents call sensitive internal tools and you cannot share superuser credentials. The MCP gateway injects OAuth identity so each agent acts as a specific user with permissions enforced on every tool call.

Regulatory rules require sensitive data to stay on premise. You run the gateway plane in your VPC or air gapped, keep data local, and still route reasoning to cloud models under one policy layer.

Pricing

Free Developer tier; Pro from $499/mo; Enterprise contact sales

usage (requests and users) plus tier

Public — partialHigh variable costFree tierTrial available

Included quota

Developer tier is free for prototyping and testing. Pro from $499 a month unlocks higher limits, better performance, and essential governance, with additional usage billed at per unit rates. Tiers are set by usage, number of signed up users, and depth of offering such as AI Gateway and MCP Gateway.

What is public

The pricing page shows three tiers (Developer free, Pro from $499 a month, Enterprise) with usage based limits, but exact usage rates and Enterprise figures are gated to FAQs and sales.

Billing mechanics

Fully managed SaaS has no hosting cost beyond optional data storage on your own infrastructure. Self hosting the gateway plane or both planes adds roughly $600 to $1,000 a month in cloud infrastructure. Tiers scale by usage, signed up users, and the depth of the offering (AI Gateway, MCP Gateway).

Cost watchouts

Usage add ons above Pro limits and self hosted infrastructure costs are not fully visible on the pricing page. Enterprise governance, air gapped deployment, and premium SLAs require a sales conversation.

Variable cost rationale

The Pro base is a visible monthly fee, but usage add ons on requests and users, plus self hosted gateway plane infrastructure of roughly $600 a month, mean workload volume drives most of the real cost.

Overage / add-ons

Pro and Enterprise bill additional usage at per unit rates above included limits; specifics are noted in FAQs and scoped with sales.

Key ambiguities

Per unit usage rates above included limits and Enterprise pricing are not published and must be scoped with sales.
