The Managed Way To Replace Make
The short version
Cascadia, compared with Make
Rather than each person assembling their own set of connections and holding the credentials that go with them, providers attach centrally and reach becomes something you grant.
What you get here
- One Endpoint For Everything
- Attach Unlimited Connectors
- Local And Remote Providers
- Live Connection Reporting
- Tools Stay Namespaced
- Per User, Per Tool Access
- One Connection, Scoped Centrally
- Grant By Provider Or By Tool

Where the service earns its keep
Rather than each person assembling their own set of connections and holding the credentials that go with them, providers attach centrally and reach becomes something you grant.
Credentials never leave the server
A key nobody was handed is a key nobody can leak. Provider credentials sit on the gateway, which also means rotating one is a single edit rather than a message to the whole team asking them to go and update a file.
Change access without reconnecting
Changes land on a connection that is already open. Nothing has to be reconnected and nobody has to be talked through editing a file on their laptop.
One place to revoke
Offboarding is one action. The hard part of direct connections was never removing access, it was remembering everything that had been handed out in the first place, and a single endpoint leaves no such list to reconstruct.
One endpoint, every connector
Every provider you attach arrives through the same connection, so your assistant is looking at one tool list rather than a dozen.
Who this comparison is for
Teams sharing one set of tools
Everyone connects to the same address and sees only what you granted them. A new starter is working on their first morning without anybody walking them through a config file, and somebody leaving loses access in one action, not several.
Agencies working across client systems
Keep every client’s connectors attached in one place and hand each person only the ones they actually work on.
Anyone running several MCP servers
Past three or four servers, keeping separate entries current in every client stops being trivial.
How setting it up actually goes
Three steps, none of which involve installing software. The longest part is deciding who should be able to reach what, and even that is a matter of ticking boxes once your providers are attached.
- 1
We assess your current setup
First we look at how things run today: what you already pay for, what is configured where, and which parts are actually causing you trouble.
- 2
Sign up and create your gateway
Signing up is free. You get your own gateway endpoint, and that address is what every assistant and every person on your team points at from here on.
- 3
Attach the providers you want
Add each MCP server you want to reach, whether it is one of ours, one you already run yourself, or a third party service.
- 4
Grant people the tools they need
Add your team and choose, tool by tool, what each person can reach. They add one entry pointing at the same address you use, and see exactly what you granted and nothing else.
