MCPaaS — MCP Server Management

Governed AI infrastructure for the modern enterprise — the design, hosting, security, monitoring, and lifecycle management of MCP servers that connect AI models to your business systems, without the credential sprawl, over-permissioning, and shadow AI that ungoverned adoption creates.

Let your organization adopt AI — without losing control of its data.

Employees are adopting AI assistants and agents faster than most organizations can govern them. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the open standard that connects AI models to business systems — CRMs, file stores, databases, ERPs, ticketing, and line-of-business applications. Every one of those connections is productivity for the business and a new privileged pathway into its data.

MCP-as-a-Service (MCPaaS) is Neutron's managed offering: a sanctioned, monitored pathway that is easier to use than the unsanctioned one — delivered under the same firm-fixed pricing model and the same single-provider consolidation as every other Neutron service.

  • Governed — every AI-to-system connection authorized and scoped
  • Monitored — AI tool calls logged into the same SOC as human activity
  • Portable — works with the AI platforms and systems already in place
  • Fixed pricing — no metering by tool call, token, or data volume
  • Compliance-aligned — HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, state privacy law
  • Portfolio-ready — one governance standard across every covered company
The Governance Gap

What goes wrong without managed MCP.

AI adoption inside organizations rarely begins with a policy — it begins with an employee connecting a capable assistant to a system that holds real data.

Credential Sprawl

  • API keys and service-account credentials for CRMs, file storage, and databases end up embedded in individual employees' AI configurations, outside any vault or rotation policy.

Over-Permissioned Access

  • Connectors get configured with broad administrative scope because it is the fastest path to a working demo — granting an AI agent far more reach than the employee operating it has.

No Audit Trail

  • Nobody can answer the question an auditor, insurer, or acquirer will eventually ask: which AI systems accessed which data, when, and on whose authority.

Regulated Data Exposure

  • Protected health information, cardholder data, and personal information move through AI tooling that was never assessed against the organization's compliance obligations.

Shadow AI

  • Unsanctioned assistants and agents proliferate across departments, each with its own connections — a parallel, invisible integration layer.

Inherited at Acquisition

  • Ungoverned AI connections already exist inside most targets. Without discovery during diligence, the acquirer assumes an undocumented data-exposure problem it did not price.
What's Included

A fully managed MCP layer between AI tools and your business systems.

Architected, hosted, secured, monitored, and maintained by Neutron.

MCP Architecture & Deployment

  • Design and deployment of MCP servers connecting approved AI tools to business systems — hosted in Neutron's infrastructure, your own cloud tenant, or on-premises per your data residency and regulatory requirements.

Secure Gateway & Access Control

  • A centralized MCP gateway with per-user, per-tool authorization, credential vaulting, and least-privilege scoping. Employees never hold direct AI-to-system credentials.

Identity Integration

  • MCP access is bound to your existing identity provider and conditional access policies — an AI agent's reach is constrained by the same rules that govern the human operating it, and access is removed automatically at offboarding.

Monitoring & Audit

  • Full logging of AI tool calls and data access, ingested into Neutron's SIEM and monitored by the 24/7 SOC. AI activity is watched with the same rigor as human activity.

Data Governance Guardrails

  • Policy enforcement over which data classes AI agents may read or write, inspection of tool traffic for sensitive content, and regulatory alignment (HIPAA, PCI-DSS, SOC 2, state privacy law).

Lifecycle Management

  • Version management, patching, and vulnerability response for MCP servers and connectors; change control and compatibility testing as the protocol and vendor implementations evolve.

Custom Connector Development

  • Purpose-built MCP servers for proprietary or industry-specific applications — turning legacy line-of-business systems into safely AI-accessible services without modifying the underlying application.

AI Enablement Advisory

  • Working with your technical leadership to prioritize the AI use cases that deliver measurable operating impact — then building and running the secured plumbing to support them.
How We Deliver

A five-stage engagement, engineered to consolidate shadow AI as it goes.

Governance that accelerates adoption rather than blocking it.

Discovery & AI Use-Case Assessment

Inventory of AI tooling already in use, systems it touches, and data classes involved — including shadow AI discovery. Prioritization of sanctioned use cases with your leadership.

Architecture & Policy Design

Selection of hosting model, definition of authorization scopes per role and per system, data-class policy, logging and retention standards, mapped to compliance obligations.

Build & Deploy

Gateway and connector deployment, identity integration, credential vaulting, SIEM onboarding, and custom connector development for proprietary applications.

Migrate & Retire Shadow Access

Users are moved onto the sanctioned pathway and the ungoverned direct connections are revoked — credentials rotated, orphaned integrations removed.

FAQ

Common questions from technology leadership

Isn't this just an API gateway?

An API gateway proxies traffic; MCPaaS governs AI-to-system authorization. It defines which AI tools can reach which business systems on whose authority, with what data-class scope, logged into your security operations. The gateway is one component — identity binding, credential vaulting, and SOC integration are the rest.

Do we have to standardize on one AI platform?

No. MCPaaS is deliberately platform-agnostic — it works with any MCP-capable client, from enterprise AI assistants to developer tooling to agent frameworks. Different departments or portfolio companies can use different AI platforms while reporting into one governance model.

What about pricing — are we billed per AI call?

No. Firm-fixed pricing throughout: a fixed platform fee plus a fixed per-seat rate for entitled users. No metering by tool call, token, or data volume. Custom connector development is quoted as firm-fixed-price statements of work.

How does this relate to AI Readiness?

Our AI Readiness service handles adoption strategy and secure deployment of AI tools broadly (Copilot, custom assistants, workflow automation). MCPaaS is specifically the managed infrastructure layer beneath those adoptions — the sanctioned pathway that makes governed AI possible at scale. Many clients engage both.

Can we deploy on-premises?

Yes. Three hosting models: Neutron's secure infrastructure, your own cloud tenant, or on-premises deployment — selected per company based on data residency, latency, and regulatory constraints.
