Why it matters

MCP gateways sit at the trust boundary between LLM agents and downstream tools, so hardening guidance like disabling the Admin UI in production and locking down authentication is directly relevant to defenders securing agentic-AI infrastructure.

IBM's mcp-context-forge (MCP Context Forge, an MCP gateway/proxy) publishes a SECURITY.md security policy laying out hardening guidance for deploying the gateway, including keeping the Admin UI development-only, disabling it and unused features in production, requiring authenticated REST-API-only access, and using feature flags to reduce attack surface.
