We’re witnessing the dawn of a new era in digital connectivity. Just as APIs connect applications in the mobile era, the Model Context Protocol (MCP) is connecting Artificial Intelligence to the enterprise. Think of MCP as the USB-C for AI – a universal standard that allows intelligent agents to plug into data and systems instantly.
But a standard is only as powerful as the trust that supports it. We are bridging the gap between raw connectivity and enterprise-grade security and execution.
Today, we are thrilled to announce the launch of the Public MCP Servers in Agent Registrypart of MuleSoft Agent Fabric. This is a curated catalog of enterprise-grade remote MCP servers hosted by their providers, enabling you to expand your catalog of AI assets for easy access and streamlined governance.
Why Public MCP Servers in Agent Registry matters
In a rapidly expanding ecosystem of thousands of unverified MCP servers, finding the right tool can feel like finding a needle in a haystack. Discovery is manual and validation non-existent. Even after discovery, configuring tools remains laborious and error-prone. For an enterprise an unverified MCP server is a liability, a security gamble that most companies cannot afford to take.
MuleSoft helps you cut through the noise with a curated catalog of enterprise-ready MCP servers, so developers and AI agents alike can build and operate with trusted, secure, and governed enterprise assets from day one. Centralizing public and internal MCP servers unlocks the ability to discover and govern agents with speed, compliance, and composability. Here’s how this empowers your team:
- Unified discovery: Access a single source of truth to discover public or internally-built MCP servers.
- Management and governance: Managing public MCP servers via API Manager allows you to control, secure, and monitor how your developers and agents interact with these systems.
- Accelerated reuse: With easy discovery and availability of instances in MuleSoft’s Exchange, you ensure developers are reusing trusted MCP servers rather than building from scratch.
This launch unlocks several powerful new ways to consume MCP servers in your enterprise. Let’s take a look at them.
Govern your MCP servers and tools
You wouldn’t let an employee access your database without a login – why let an AI agent do it? By bringing public MCP assets into API Manager, you can wrap external MCP servers in enterprise-grade security, applying policies and rate limiting just as you would for any other API. You can also grant access to these managed instances to your colleagues and developers, or they can request access from the MCP asset in Exchange itself.
Orchestrate with MuleSoft Agent Fabric
Real business problems require orchestration. With Agent Broker, you can pull these new MCP assets into a business domain. Imagine a project management agent that orchestrates the Monday.com MCP to update tasks and the Notion MCP to document the changes. Agent Broker acts as the brain, routing tasks to the right tool at the right time. You can use these MCP servers in the Agent Broker along with other tools and agents you may have defined in any external platform.
The future is open and agentic
MuleSoft’s mission has always been to connect the world’s applications, data, and devices. With public MCP servers in Agent Registry, we are extending that mission to the agentic future, ensuring that when agents act on your behalf, they do so with the enterprise grade security posture and reliability behind them. We invite you to explore the new assets in Agent Registry and start building the next generation of intelligent automation today.
