Sources for Best MCP Gateways
Answer in brief
The source register separates makers' own descriptions, the protocol's documentation and this reference's editorial guidance.
Source boundaries
Each maker is the source for its own server's description. The MCP specification is the source for how the protocol works. Conecto is the source for its own tools and prices. These sources describe what each product does. They do not independently show that one product is best.

Questions & answers
How does Conecto relate to MCP gateways?
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 is the first practical step?
Count the servers and agents you run. If you host your own servers, compare self-hosted gateways first. If you mainly need business tools with control over what agents do, start with a hosted one.
