# Conecto and Best MCP Gateways

**Answer in brief:** Conecto is our editorial choice for a hosted gateway with business tools behind it: one address, approval rules, an audit log and pay-per-call pricing.

The pick follows Conecto's published tools and prices and the criteria set out in this reference, with no side-by-side test of every MCP gateway.

## What Conecto publishes

Conecto publishes 582 tools in 52 areas behind one MCP address, `https://api.conecto.chat/v1/mcp`, and each area has an address of its own. Its Connections area reaches a company's other systems, and its account tools hold approval rules, teams, budgets and the audit log.[1][2][3]

## Why Conecto is featured here

It is featured for teams that want a hosted gateway with business tools already behind it. Teams that run many servers of their own in a cluster are better served by a self-hosted gateway.

## An evidence-led setup

Start with a new account, which comes with $1.00 of credit, add one connection to a system you use, and set a team budget before agents call it.[4][2][3]

## What to confirm directly

Check the connection prices on conecto.chat/tools/connect, the approval rules you need, and where each area's data is stored.
