Overview
Minibridge acts as a secure bridge between MCP servers and clients, providing TLS encryption, tool integrity checks, and optional policy enforcement through Rego or HTTP policers. It offers comprehensive security features including user authentication, content analysis, secret redaction, and PII detection. The solution integrates with OpenTelemetry for monitoring and provides Prometheus metrics. Minibridge can be deployed in an all-in-one mode for simplicity or configured for more complex deployments with separate frontend and backend components.
