Auth stays in the exchange
The gateway owns token refresh, connector auth state, and the boundary between AI clients and production systems.
MSPlex is not just a collection of connectors. The gateway is the product boundary that handles routing, connector auth state, and tenancy proof so AI can operate against real MSP systems without each workflow building its own infrastructure.
$ msplex connect halopsa --tenant acme
-> Gateway session ready
$ msplex status
-> operational
-> 5 connectors
-> https://msplex.ai/mcp/v1/acme-corp
The gateway owns token refresh, connector auth state, and the boundary between AI clients and production systems.
Routing logic lives in one place, so AI clients do not need custom point-to-point integrations for every MSP system.
Every request carries tenant proof and stays inside a boundary that is easier to reason about than scattered MCP glue.
Start by identifying which systems the first workflow must touch and whether the current build already covers them.
Keep the gateway conversation tied to trust review, connector fit, and rollout timing instead of treating it as abstract architecture.
Use the gateway as the control boundary for production AI workflows rather than letting each agent invent its own connector logic.
The gateway matters because it becomes the operational contract between AI workflows and production systems. That contract should be understandable before rollout begins.
Bring the tools you want AI to reach, the trust constraints you need to preserve, and the rollout timeline you are targeting.
