+## Overview
+
+### The Problem
+
+When multiple MCP servers are configured in development environments (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code), all tool definitions from all servers load into every agent's and subagent's context window at startup:
+
+- 5,000-50,000+ tokens consumed upfront
+- 80-95% of loaded tools never used by individual agents
+- Context needed for actual work gets wasted on unused tool definitions
+
+### The Solution
+
+The Agent MCP Gateway acts as a single MCP server that proxies to multiple downstream MCP servers based on configurable per-agent rules:
+
+- **3 gateway tools** load at startup (~400 tokens)
+- Agents discover and request specific tools on-demand
+- **90%+ context reduction**
+- Policy-based access control per agent/subagent
+
+### How It Works
+
+![Agent MCP Gateway Architecture](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/roddutra/agent-mcp-gateway/main/docs/diagram-snippet.png)
+
+The gateway sits between agents and downstream MCP servers, exposing only 3 lightweight tools. When an agent needs specific functionality, it discovers available servers and tools through the gateway, which filters visibility based on policy rules - agents only see servers and tools they have access to. This reduces each agent's context window to only relevant tools, while the gateway handles proxying authorized requests to downstream servers.
+
+**[View detailed diagram with examples →](https://github.com/roddutra/agent-mcp-gateway/blob/main/docs/diagram-full.png)** (includes downstream servers, tools, and gateway rules examples)
+
+### Key Features
+
+- ✅ **On-Demand Tool Discovery** - Load tool definitions only when needed
+- ✅ **Per-Agent Access Control** - Configure which servers/tools each agent can access
+- ✅ **Easy Agent Integration** - Simple template to add gateway support to any agent ([see guide](#configuring-agents-to-use-the-gateway))
+- ✅ **Deny-Before-Allow Policies** - Explicit deny rules take precedence
+- ✅ **Wildcard Support** - Pattern matching for tool names (`get_*`, `*_user`)
+- ✅ **Session Isolation** - Concurrent requests don't interfere
+- ✅ **Transparent Proxying** - Downstream servers unaware of gateway
+- ✅ **Audit Logging** - All operations logged for monitoring
+- ✅ **Performance Metrics** - Track latency and error rates per agent/operation
+- ✅ **Hot Configuration Reload** - Update rules/servers without restart
+- ✅ **Thread-Safe Operations** - Safe concurrent access during reloads
+- ✅ **Diagnostic Tools** - Health monitoring via `get_gateway_status` (debug mode only)
+
+## Installation
+
+### For End Users (Recommended)
+
+Install via `uvx` for on-demand usage without persistent installation:
+
+```bash
+# Run directly without installing
+uvx agent-mcp-gateway --help
+
+# First-time setup - create config directory
+uvx agent-mcp-gateway --init
+
+# Run the gateway (uses configs from ~/.config/agent-mcp-gateway/)
+GATEWAY_MCP_CONFIG=~/.config/agent-mcp-gateway/mcp.json \
+GATEWAY_RULES=~/.config/agent-mcp-gateway/mcp-gateway-rules.json \
+uvx agent-mcp-gateway
+```
+
+Or install persistently with `uv tool`:
+
+```bash
+# Install once
+uv tool install agent-mcp-gateway
+
+# Run anytime
+agent-mcp-gateway --help
+
+# Update to latest version
+uv tool upgrade agent-mcp-gateway
+```
+
+### For Developers
+
+Clone and install in development mode:
+
+```bash
+# Clone repository
+git clone https://github.com/roddutra/agent-mcp-gateway.git
+cd agent-mcp-gateway
+
+# Install dependencies
+uv sync
+
+# Run locally
+uv run python main.py --help
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+**Note:** This guide assumes you've installed the gateway. See [Installation](#installation) above.
+
+### 1. Set Up Configuration Files
+
+The gateway requires two configuration files to operate. Choose your setup method:
+
+**Method A: For PyPI Installation (uvx/uv tool)**
+
+```bash
+# Initialize config directory and create template files
+uvx agent-mcp-gateway --init
+# or
+agent-mcp-gateway --init  # if installed with uv tool
+
+# Edit configs with your servers and rules
+nano ~/.config/agent-mcp-gateway/mcp.json
+nano ~/.config/agent-mcp-gateway/mcp-gateway-rules.json
+```
+
+**Method B: For Local Development**
+
+```bash
+# Copy example files to your project directory
+cp config/.mcp.json.example .mcp.json
+cp config/.mcp-gateway-rules.json.example .mcp-gateway-rules.json
+
+# Edit configs with your servers and rules
+# Note: mcp.json is the standard MCP config format used by Claude Code
+```
+
+See [Configuration File Discovery](#configuration-file-discovery) below for details on where the gateway searches for configuration files.
+
+### 2. Add Gateway to Your MCP Client
+
+**For PyPI Installation (uvx):**
+
+```bash
+# Claude Code CLI
+claude mcp add agent-mcp-gateway uvx agent-mcp-gateway
+
+# Or manual configuration (Claude Desktop, etc.)
+# Add to your MCP client config:
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "agent-mcp-gateway": {
+      "command": "uvx",
+      "args": ["agent-mcp-gateway"],
+      "env": {
+        "GATEWAY_MCP_CONFIG": "~/.config/agent-mcp-gateway/mcp.json",
+        "GATEWAY_RULES": "~/.config/agent-mcp-gateway/mcp-gateway-rules.json",
+        "GATEWAY_DEFAULT_AGENT": "developer"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**For PyPI Installation (uv tool):**
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "agent-mcp-gateway": {
+      "command": "agent-mcp-gateway",
+      "env": {
+        "GATEWAY_MCP_CONFIG": "~/.config/agent-mcp-gateway/mcp.json",
+        "GATEWAY_RULES": "~/.config/agent-mcp-gateway/mcp-gateway-rules.json",
+        "GATEWAY_DEFAULT_AGENT": "developer"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**For Local Development:**
+
+```bash
+# Claude Code CLI
+claude mcp add agent-mcp-gateway \
+  uv run --directory /path/to/agent-mcp-gateway python main.py
+
+# Or manual configuration
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "agent-mcp-gateway": {
+      "command": "uv",
+      "args": ["run", "--directory", "/path/to/agent-mcp-gateway", "python", "main.py"],
+      "env": {
+        "GATEWAY_DEFAULT_AGENT": "developer"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Replace `/path/to/agent-mcp-gateway` with the actual path to your gateway clone.
+
+**Note:** For local development, the `--directory` flag tells `uv run` to change to the project directory before running, ensuring it finds `pyproject.toml` and the gateway configuration files.
+
+**Verify Gateway Connection:**
+
+After adding the gateway to your MCP client, verify it's working:
+
+```bash
+# Using MCP Inspector (for testing)
+npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv run python main.py
+# Then call list_servers with agent_id parameter
+
+# Or ask your agent to list available servers
+# Expected response: List of servers from your .mcp.json
+```
+
+Expected startup output:
+```
+Loading MCP server configuration from: .mcp.json
+Loading gateway rules from: .mcp-gateway-rules.json
+Gateway initialized successfully
+  - X MCP server(s) configured
+  - Y agent(s) configured
+  - 3 gateway tools available
+```
+
+### 3. Configure Your Agents
+
+The gateway's tool descriptions are self-documenting, but for proper access control you should configure how your agents identify themselves.
+
+#### Choose Your Approach
+
+**Approach 1: Single-Agent Mode (Simplest)**
+
+If all your agents should have the same permissions, configure a default agent using either method:
+
+**Option A: Environment Variable**
+```bash
+# Set in your MCP client configuration
+export GATEWAY_DEFAULT_AGENT=developer
+```
+**Note:** The agent specified (e.g., "developer") must exist in your `.mcp-gateway-rules.json` file with appropriate permissions.
+
+**Option B: "default" Agent in Rules**
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "default": {
+      "allow": {
+        "servers": ["*"]
+      }
+    }
+  },
+  "defaults": {
+    "deny_on_missing_agent": false
+  }
+}
+```
+**Note:** Allowing all servers (`"servers": ["*"]`) without specifying tool restrictions grants access to all tools on all servers.
+
+With either approach, agents can omit `agent_id` in tool calls - the gateway uses your configured default agent automatically.
+
+**Approach 2: Multi-Agent Mode (Recommended for Access Control)**
+
+For different agents with different permissions, configure each agent to pass its identity.
+
+**Add this to your agent's system prompt** (e.g., `CLAUDE.md`, `.claude/agents/agent-name.md`):
+
+```markdown
+## MCP Gateway Access
+
+**Available Tools (via agent-mcp-gateway):**
+
+You have access to MCP servers through the agent-mcp-gateway. The specific servers and tools available to you are determined by the gateway's access control rules.
+
+**Tool Discovery Process:**
+
+When you need to use tools from downstream MCP servers:
+1. Use `agent_id: "YOUR_AGENT_NAME"` in ALL gateway tool calls for proper access control
+2. Call `list_servers` to discover which servers you have access to
+3. Call `get_server_tools` with the specific server name to discover available tools
+4. Use `execute_tool` to invoke tools with appropriate parameters
+5. If you cannot access a tool you need, immediately notify the user
+
+**Important:** Always include `agent_id: "YOUR_AGENT_NAME"` in your gateway tool calls. This ensures proper access control and audit logging.
+```
+
+Replace `YOUR_AGENT_NAME` with your agent's identifier (e.g., "researcher", "backend", "admin").
+
+**Examples:** See [`.claude/agents/researcher.md`](https://github.com/roddutra/agent-mcp-gateway/blob/main/.claude/agents/researcher.md) and [`.claude/agents/mcp-developer.md`](https://github.com/roddutra/agent-mcp-gateway/blob/main/.claude/agents/mcp-developer.md) for complete configuration examples.
+
+## Command-Line Options
+
+```bash
+# Show version
+agent-mcp-gateway --version
+
+# Initialize config directory (first-time setup)
+agent-mcp-gateway --init
+
+# Enable debug mode (exposes get_gateway_status diagnostic tool)
+agent-mcp-gateway --debug
+
+# Show help
+agent-mcp-gateway --help
+```
+
+**For local development:**
+```bash
+uv run python main.py --version
+uv run python main.py --init
+uv run python main.py --debug
+uv run python main.py --help
+```
+
+## Configuration File Discovery
+
+The gateway searches for configuration files in this order:
+
+### MCP Server Config (mcp.json)
+1. `GATEWAY_MCP_CONFIG` environment variable (if set)
+2. `.mcp.json` in current directory
+3. `~/.config/agent-mcp-gateway/mcp.json` (home directory)
+4. `./config/.mcp.json` (fallback)
+
+### Gateway Rules (mcp-gateway-rules.json)
+1. `GATEWAY_RULES` environment variable (if set)
+2. `.mcp-gateway-rules.json` in current directory
+3. `~/.config/agent-mcp-gateway/mcp-gateway-rules.json` (home directory)
+4. `./config/.mcp-gateway-rules.json` (fallback)
+
+**Tip:** Use `agent-mcp-gateway --init` to create the home directory configs on first run.
+
+## Configuration
+
+The gateway requires two configuration files:
+
+### 1. MCP Servers Configuration
+
+**File:** `mcp.json` (searched in [multiple locations](#configuration-file-discovery))
+
+Defines the downstream MCP servers the gateway will proxy to. Uses the standard MCP config format compatible with Claude Code and other coding agents:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "brave-search": {
+      "description": "Web search via Brave Search API",
+      "command": "npx",
+      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-brave-search"],
+      "env": {
+        "BRAVE_API_KEY": "${BRAVE_API_KEY}"
+      }
+    },
+    "postgres": {
+      "description": "PostgreSQL database access and query execution",
+      "command": "uvx",
+      "args": ["mcp-server-postgres"],
+      "env": {
+        "DATABASE_URL": "${DATABASE_URL}"
+      }
+    },
+    "remote-server": {
+      "description": "Custom remote API integration",
+      "url": "https://example.com/mcp",
+      "transport": "http",
+      "headers": {
+        "Authorization": "Bearer ${API_TOKEN}"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Server Descriptions (Recommended):**
+Adding a `description` field to each server helps AI agents understand what each server provides and when to use it. Descriptions are always returned by `list_servers`, enabling agents to make informed decisions about which servers to query for tools. While optional, descriptions significantly improve agent tool discovery and decision-making.
+
+**Supported Transports:**
+- `stdio` - Local servers via npx/uvx (specified with `command` + `args`)
+- `http` - Remote HTTP servers (specified with `url`)
+
+**Environment Variables:**
+- Use `${VAR_NAME}` syntax for environment variable substitution
+- Set variables before running: `export BRAVE_API_KEY=your-key`
+
+**Important - GUI Applications (Claude Desktop, etc.):**
+If you use `${VAR_NAME}` syntax in `.mcp.json`, note that macOS GUI applications run in isolated environments without access to your shell's environment variables. For Claude Desktop and similar apps, add API keys to the gateway's `env` object in your MCP client configuration:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "agent-mcp-gateway": {
+      "command": "uv",
+      "args": ["run", "--directory", "/path/to/agent-mcp-gateway", "python", "main.py"],
+      "env": {
+        "BRAVE_API_KEY": "your-actual-key-here",
+        "DATABASE_URL": "postgresql://...",
+        "GATEWAY_DEFAULT_AGENT": "claude-desktop"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+(If you hardcode values directly in `.mcp.json` without `${VAR_NAME}` syntax, this is not necessary.)
+
+### 2. Gateway Rules Configuration
+
+**File:** `mcp-gateway-rules.json` (searched in [multiple locations](#configuration-file-discovery))
+
+Defines per-agent access policies using deny-before-allow precedence:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "researcher": {
+      "allow": {
+        "servers": ["brave-search"],
+        "tools": {
+          "brave-search": ["*"]
+        }
+      }
+    },
+    "backend": {
+      "allow": {
+        "servers": ["postgres"],
+        "tools": {
+          "postgres": ["query", "list_*"]
+        }
+      },
+      "deny": {
+        "tools": {
+          "postgres": ["drop_*", "truncate_*"]
+        }
+      }
+    },
+    "admin": {
+      "allow": {
+        "servers": ["*"],
+        "tools": {
+          "*": ["*"]
+        }
+      }
+    },
+    "default": {
+      "deny": {
+        "servers": ["*"]
+      }
+    }
+  },
+  "defaults": {
+    "deny_on_missing_agent": false
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Note on "default" Agent:** The special agent named "default" is used as a fallback when `agent_id` is not provided and `deny_on_missing_agent` is `false`. In this example, the default agent denies all servers, following the principle of least privilege. You can also use `GATEWAY_DEFAULT_AGENT` environment variable to specify a different default agent.
+
+**Policy Precedence Order:**
+1. Explicit deny rules (highest priority)
+2. Explicit allow rules
+3. Wildcard deny rules
+4. Wildcard allow rules
+5. Default policy (lowest priority)
+
+**Configuration Flexibility:**
+- Rules can reference servers not currently in `.mcp.json`
+- Undefined server references treated as warnings (not errors)
+- Allows keeping rules for temporarily removed servers
+- Hot reload applies changes immediately without restart
+
+**Wildcard Patterns:**
+- `*` - Matches everything
+- `get_*` - Matches tools starting with "get_"
+- `*_user` - Matches tools ending with "_user"
+
+**Agent Naming:**
+- Use hierarchical names: `team.role` (e.g., `backend.database`, `frontend.ui`)
+- Alphanumeric characters, hyphens, underscores, and dots allowed
+- **Configure your agents** to pass their identity: See [Configuring Agents to Use the Gateway](#configuring-agents-to-use-the-gateway)
+
+### Configuration Validation
+
+The gateway validates configurations at startup and during hot reload:
+
+```bash
+uv run python main.py
+# ✓ Configuration loaded from .mcp.json
+# ⚠ Warning: Agent 'researcher' references undefined server 'unknown-server'
+# ℹ These rules will be ignored until the server is added
+```
+
+**Validation Behavior:**
+- Structural errors (invalid JSON, missing required fields) → Fail startup/reload
+- Undefined server references → Log warnings, continue with valid rules
+- Policy conflicts → Deny-before-allow precedence resolves automatically
+
+### 3. OAuth Support for Downstream Servers
+
+OAuth-protected downstream servers (Notion, GitHub) are automatically supported via auto-detection when servers return HTTP 401. The gateway uses FastMCP's OAuth support to handle authentication flows transparently - browser opens once for initial authentication, then tokens are cached for future use. See [OAuth User Guide](https://github.com/roddutra/agent-mcp-gateway/blob/main/docs/oauth-user-guide.md) for detailed setup and troubleshooting.
+
+**OAuth Limitations:**
+
+The gateway supports OAuth servers that implement **Dynamic Client Registration (RFC 7591)**.
+
+- ✅ **Supported:** OAuth with auto-detection (e.g., Notion MCP)
+- ❌ **Not Supported:** OAuth with pre-registered apps (e.g., GitHub OAuth flow)
+- 💡 **For GitHub MCP:** Use Personal Access Token instead
+
+**GitHub MCP with PAT Example:**
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "github": {
+      "url": "https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/",
+      "headers": {
+        "Authorization": "Bearer ${GITHUB_PAT}"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+For detailed OAuth setup and troubleshooting, see [OAuth User Guide](https://github.com/roddutra/agent-mcp-gateway/blob/main/docs/oauth-user-guide.md).
+
+### 4. Environment Variables Reference
+
+| Variable | Description | Default | Example |
+|----------|-------------|---------|---------|
+| `GATEWAY_MCP_CONFIG` | Path to MCP servers configuration file | `.mcp.json`, fallback: `./config/.mcp.json` | `export GATEWAY_MCP_CONFIG=./custom.json` |
+| `GATEWAY_RULES` | Path to gateway rules configuration file | `.mcp-gateway-rules.json`, fallback: `./config/.mcp-gateway-rules.json` | `export GATEWAY_RULES=~/.claude/rules.json` |
+| `GATEWAY_DEFAULT_AGENT` | Default agent identity when `agent_id` not provided (optional) | None | `export GATEWAY_DEFAULT_AGENT=developer` |
+| `GATEWAY_DEBUG` | Enable debug mode to expose `get_gateway_status` tool | `false` | `export GATEWAY_DEBUG=true` |
+| `GATEWAY_AUDIT_LOG` | Path to audit log file | `~/.cache/agent-mcp-gateway/logs/audit.jsonl` | `export GATEWAY_AUDIT_LOG=./audit.jsonl` |
+| `GATEWAY_TRANSPORT` | Transport protocol (stdio or http) | `stdio` | `export GATEWAY_TRANSPORT=stdio` |
+| `GATEWAY_INIT_STRATEGY` | Initialization strategy (eager or lazy) | `eager` | `export GATEWAY_INIT_STRATEGY=eager` |
+
+**Note on GUI Applications:** macOS GUI applications (Claude Desktop, etc.) run in isolated environments without access to shell environment variables. If using `${VAR_NAME}` syntax in `.mcp.json`, add required API keys to the gateway's `env` object in your MCP client configuration.
+
+## Usage
+
+### Starting the Gateway
+
+**In MCP Clients (Recommended):**
+
+Add to your MCP client configuration (e.g., Claude Desktop config):
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "agent-mcp-gateway": {
+      "command": "uv",
+      "args": ["run", "--directory", "/path/to/agent-mcp-gateway", "python", "main.py"],
+      "env": {
+        "GATEWAY_MCP_CONFIG": ".mcp.json",
+        "GATEWAY_RULES": ".mcp-gateway-rules.json"
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Or use Claude Code CLI:
+```bash
+claude mcp add agent-mcp-gateway \
+  uv run --directory /path/to/agent-mcp-gateway python main.py
+```
+
+**For Development/Testing:**
+
+```bash
+# Use default config paths
+uv run python main.py
+
+# Or specify custom paths via environment (see Configuration section for all variables)
+export GATEWAY_MCP_CONFIG=./custom-mcp-config.json
+export GATEWAY_RULES=./custom-gateway-rules.json
+uv run python main.py
+```
+
+### Startup Output
+
+```
+Loading MCP server configuration from: .mcp.json
+Loading gateway rules from: .mcp-gateway-rules.json
+Audit log will be written to: ~/.cache/agent-mcp-gateway/logs/audit.jsonl
+
+Initializing proxy connections to downstream servers...

+Agent MCP Gateway initialized successfully
+  - 2 MCP server(s) configured
+  - 3 agent(s) configured
+  - Default policy: deny unknown agents
+  - 3 gateway tools available: list_servers, get_server_tools, execute_tool
+  (4 tools if GATEWAY_DEBUG=true: includes get_gateway_status)
+
+Gateway is ready. Running with stdio transport...
+```
+
+## Gateway Tools
+
+The gateway exposes exactly 3 tools to agents. All tools accept an optional `agent_id` parameter for access control. When `agent_id` is not provided, the gateway uses a fallback chain to determine agent identity (see [Agent Identity Modes](#agent-identity-modes)).
+
+**For Agent Developers:** To configure your agents to properly use these gateway tools with access control, see [Configuring Agents to Use the Gateway](#configuring-agents-to-use-the-gateway).
+
+### 1. `list_servers`
+
+Lists MCP servers available to the calling agent based on policy rules.
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `agent_id` (string, optional) - Identifier of the agent making the request (see [Agent Identity Modes](#agent-identity-modes))
+- `include_metadata` (boolean, optional) - Include technical details like transport, command, and url (default: false)
+
+**Returns:**
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "name": "brave-search",
+    "description": "Web search via Brave Search API"
+  },
+  {
+    "name": "postgres",
+    "description": "PostgreSQL database access and query execution"
+  }
+]
+```
+
+**With `include_metadata=true`:**
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "name": "brave-search",
+    "description": "Web search via Brave Search API",
+    "transport": "stdio",
+    "command": "npx"
+  },
+  {
+    "name": "postgres",
+    "description": "PostgreSQL database access and query execution",
+    "transport": "stdio",
+    "command": "uvx"
+  }
+]
+```
+
+**Note:** Server descriptions are always included (when configured in `.mcp.json`) to help agents understand what each server provides. The `include_metadata` flag only controls whether technical details (transport, command, url) are included.
+
+**Example:**
+```python
+# Basic usage - returns names and descriptions
+result = await client.call_tool("list_servers", {
+    "agent_id": "researcher"
+})
+
+# With technical metadata
+result = await client.call_tool("list_servers", {
+    "agent_id": "researcher",
+    "include_metadata": True
+})
+```
+
+### 2. `get_server_tools`
+
+Retrieves tool definitions from a specific MCP server, filtered by agent permissions.
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `agent_id` (string, optional) - Identifier of the agent (see [Agent Identity Modes](#agent-identity-modes))
+- `server` (string, required) - Name of the downstream MCP server
+- `names` (string, optional) - Comma-separated list of tool names (e.g., `"tool1,tool2,tool3"`) or single tool name
+- `pattern` (string, optional) - Wildcard pattern for tool names (e.g., `"get_*"`)
+- `max_schema_tokens` (integer, optional) - Token budget limit for schemas

+    "agent_id": "researcher",
+    "server": "brave-search",
+    "max_schema_tokens": 1000
+})
+```
+
+### 3. `execute_tool`
+
+Executes a tool on a downstream MCP server with transparent result forwarding.
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `agent_id` (string, optional) - Identifier of the agent (see [Agent Identity Modes](#agent-identity-modes))
+- `server` (string, required) - Name of the downstream MCP server
+- `tool` (string, required) - Name of the tool to execute

+    "args": {
+        "sql": "SELECT * FROM users LIMIT 10"
+    },
+    "timeout_ms": 5000
+})
+```
+
+### 4. `get_gateway_status` (Debug Mode Only)
+
+Returns comprehensive gateway health and diagnostics information.
+
+**Important:** This tool is only available when debug mode is enabled (via `GATEWAY_DEBUG=true` environment variable or `--debug` CLI flag). See [Security Considerations](#security-considerations) for details.
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `agent_id` (string, optional) - Identifier of the agent (see [Agent Identity Modes](#agent-identity-modes))
+
+**Returns:**
+```json
+{
+  "reload_status": {
+    "mcp_config": {
+      "last_attempt": "2025-10-30T10:30:00Z",
+      "last_success": "2025-10-30T10:30:00Z",
+      "last_error": null,
+      "attempt_count": 1,
+      "success_count": 1
+    },
+    "gateway_rules": {
+      "last_attempt": "2025-10-30T10:35:00Z",
+      "last_success": "2025-10-30T10:35:00Z",
+      "last_error": null,
+      "attempt_count": 2,
+      "success_count": 2,
+      "last_warnings": []
+    }
+  },
+  "policy_state": {
+    "total_agents": 3,
+    "agent_ids": ["researcher", "backend", "admin"],
+    "defaults": {"deny_on_missing_agent": true}
+  },
+  "available_servers": ["brave-search", "postgres"],
+  "config_paths": {
+    "mcp_config": "/path/to/.mcp.json",
+    "gateway_rules": "/path/to/.mcp-gateway-rules.json"
+  },
+  "message": "Gateway is operational. Check reload_status for hot reload health."
+}
+```
+
+**Example:**
+```python
+# Check gateway health and reload status (requires GATEWAY_DEBUG=true)
+status = await client.call_tool("get_gateway_status", {
+    "agent_id": "admin"
+})
+
+# Verify last reload was successful
+if status["reload_status"]["gateway_rules"]["last_error"]:
+    print("Warning: Last rule reload failed!")
+```
+
+### Error Handling
+
+All tools return structured errors with clear messages:
+
+```json
+{
+  "error": {
+    "code": "DENIED_BY_POLICY",
+    "message": "Agent 'frontend' denied access to tool 'drop_table'",
+    "rule": "agents.frontend.deny.tools.postgres[0]"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Error Codes:**
+- `DENIED_BY_POLICY` - Agent lacks permission
+- `SERVER_UNAVAILABLE` - Downstream server unreachable
+- `TOOL_NOT_FOUND` - Requested tool doesn't exist
+- `TIMEOUT` - Operation exceeded time limit
+- `INVALID_AGENT_ID` - Missing or unknown agent identifier
+- `FALLBACK_AGENT_NOT_IN_RULES` - Configured fallback agent not found in gateway rules
+- `NO_FALLBACK_CONFIGURED` - No agent_id provided and no fallback agent configured
+
+### Complete Workflow Example
+
+Here's a minimal working example showing the typical gateway workflow:
+
+```python
+from fastmcp import Client
+
+async def gateway_workflow():
+    async with Client('agent-mcp-gateway') as client:
+        # 1. Discover available servers
+        servers = await client.call_tool('list_servers', {
+            'agent_id': 'researcher'
+        })
+        # Response: [{"name": "brave-search", "description": "Web search..."}]
+
+        # 2. Get tools from specific server
+        tools = await client.call_tool('get_server_tools', {
+            'agent_id': 'researcher',
+            'server': 'brave-search'
+        })
+        # Response: {"tools": [...], "server": "brave-search", ...}
+
+        # 3. Execute a tool
+        result = await client.call_tool('execute_tool', {
+            'agent_id': 'researcher',
+            'server': 'brave-search',
+            'tool': 'brave_web_search',
+            'args': {'query': 'MCP protocol documentation'}
+        })
+        # Response: {"content": [...search results...], "isError": false}
+```
+
+This workflow demonstrates on-demand tool discovery - load definitions only when needed, not upfront.
+
+### Agent Identity Modes
+
+The gateway supports two deployment modes for handling agent identity:
+
+#### Single-Agent Mode
+
+Use when all agents should have the same permissions (development, personal use, single-agent deployments):
+
+```bash
+# Set default agent via environment variable
+export GATEWAY_DEFAULT_AGENT=developer
+```
+
+Or define a "default" agent in rules:
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "default": {
+      "allow": {"servers": ["brave-search", "postgres"]}
+    }
+  },
+  "defaults": {
+    "deny_on_missing_agent": false
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Agents can omit `agent_id` in tool calls - the gateway automatically uses the configured default.
+
+#### Multi-Agent Mode
+
+Use when different agents need different permissions (production, multi-agent systems):
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "researcher": {"allow": {"servers": ["brave-search"]}},
+    "backend": {"allow": {"servers": ["postgres"]}}
+  },
+  "defaults": {
+    "deny_on_missing_agent": true  // Require explicit agent_id
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Configure each agent to pass their identity (see [Configuring Agents to Use the Gateway](#configuring-agents-to-use-the-gateway)).
+
+<details>
+<summary><strong>Technical Details: Agent Identity Resolution</strong></summary>
+
+When `agent_id` is not provided, the gateway uses this fallback chain:
+
+1. `GATEWAY_DEFAULT_AGENT` environment variable (highest priority)
+2. Agent named "default" in `.mcp-gateway-rules.json`
+3. Error if neither configured
+
+The `deny_on_missing_agent` setting controls this behavior:
+- `true`: Require explicit `agent_id` (bypass fallback chain)
+- `false`: Use fallback chain when `agent_id` omitted
+
+**Security Note:** The fallback mechanism follows the principle of least privilege - it never grants implicit "allow all" access, only the explicitly configured agent's permissions.
+
+</details>
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+**Rules File Location:** Store `.mcp-gateway-rules.json` in-project for context optimization only. For production access control, store outside project directory (e.g., `~/.claude/mcp-gateway-rules.json`) to prevent agents from reading/modifying permissions.
+
+**Debug Mode:** The `get_gateway_status` tool exposes gateway internals and is only available when `GATEWAY_DEBUG=true`. Disable in production environments.
+
+**For comprehensive security guidance:** See [Security Guide](https://github.com/roddutra/agent-mcp-gateway/blob/main/docs/security-guide.md) for detailed information on rules file security, debug mode considerations, agent impersonation risks, and production best practices.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Gateway Won't Start
+
+**Symptom:** Error on startup or gateway fails to initialize
+
+**Solutions:**
+- **Check configuration files exist:** Verify `.mcp.json` and `.mcp-gateway-rules.json` are in the expected location
+- **Validate JSON syntax:** Use `python -m json.tool < .mcp.json` to check for syntax errors
+- **Check Python version:** Ensure Python 3.12+ is installed (`python --version`)
+- **Verify dependencies:** Run `uv sync` to ensure all packages are installed
+
+### Can't Connect to Downstream Server
+
+**Symptom:** `SERVER_UNAVAILABLE` error when calling tools
+
+**Solutions:**
+- **Verify server configuration:** Check server is properly defined in `.mcp.json`
+- **Test stdio servers:** Ensure command is available (`npx --version`, `uvx --version`)
+- **Check environment variables:** Verify API keys and credentials are set
+- **Test HTTP servers:** Try accessing server URL directly in browser
+- **Review startup logs:** Look for server initialization errors in gateway output
+
+### Permission Denied Errors
+
+**Symptom:** `DENIED_BY_POLICY` when agent tries to use a tool
+
+**Solutions:**
+- **Verify agent_id:** Ensure agent is passing correct identity (check audit logs)
+- **Check agent rules:** Confirm agent exists in `.mcp-gateway-rules.json`
+- **Review policy precedence:** Remember deny rules take precedence over allow rules
+- **Test with wildcard:** Try `"tools": {"server-name": ["*"]}` to grant broad access temporarily
+- **Enable debug mode:** Use `GATEWAY_DEBUG=true` and call `get_gateway_status` to inspect policy state
+
+### OAuth Authentication Issues
+
+**Symptom:** Browser doesn't open or OAuth flow fails
+
+See detailed troubleshooting in [OAuth User Guide](https://github.com/roddutra/agent-mcp-gateway/blob/main/docs/oauth-user-guide.md).
+
+Quick fixes:
+- **Clear token cache:** `rm -rf ~/.fastmcp/oauth-mcp-client-cache/`
+- **Test browser:** `python -m webbrowser https://example.com`
+- **Check server URL:** Verify correct OAuth server URL in `.mcp.json`
+
+### Hot Reload Not Working
+
+**Symptom:** Changes to config files don't take effect
+
+**Solutions:**
+- **Check file watch:** Ensure config files are in expected locations
+- **Review logs:** Look for reload errors in gateway output
+- **Manual reload:** Send SIGHUP signal or restart gateway
+- **Debug mode:** Use `get_gateway_status` to check last reload timestamps
+
+**For additional help:** See [Security Guide](https://github.com/roddutra/agent-mcp-gateway/blob/main/docs/security-guide.md), [OAuth User Guide](https://github.com/roddutra/agent-mcp-gateway/blob/main/docs/oauth-user-guide.md), or open a GitHub issue.

+## Testing
+
+### Running Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+uv run pytest
+
+# Run with coverage
+uv run pytest --cov=src --cov-report=term
+
+# Run specific test file
+uv run pytest tests/test_gateway.py -v
+
+# Run integration tests only
+uv run pytest tests/test_integration_m1.py -v
+```
+
+### Testing with MCP Inspector
+
+The [MCP Inspector](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector) is an interactive developer tool for testing and debugging MCP servers.
+
+#### Install and Run
+
+**For PyPI Installation (uvx):**
+
+```bash
+# Run Inspector with gateway from PyPI
+# With environment variables for custom config paths
+GATEWAY_MCP_CONFIG=~/.config/agent-mcp-gateway/mcp.json \
+GATEWAY_RULES=~/.config/agent-mcp-gateway/mcp-gateway-rules.json \
+GATEWAY_DEFAULT_AGENT=researcher \
+npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx agent-mcp-gateway
+
+# Or with default config paths (searches current directory and fallback locations)
+npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx agent-mcp-gateway
+
+# With debug mode enabled
+GATEWAY_DEBUG=true npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx agent-mcp-gateway
+```
+
+**For PyPI Installation (uv tool):**
+
+```bash
+# Run Inspector with installed gateway
+GATEWAY_MCP_CONFIG=~/.config/agent-mcp-gateway/mcp.json \
+GATEWAY_RULES=~/.config/agent-mcp-gateway/mcp-gateway-rules.json \
+GATEWAY_DEFAULT_AGENT=researcher \
+npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector agent-mcp-gateway
+
+# Or with default config paths
+npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector agent-mcp-gateway
+```
+
+**For Local Development:**
+
+```bash
+# Run Inspector with local gateway project
+# Environment variables are optional - defaults to .mcp.json and .mcp-gateway-rules.json in project directory
+GATEWAY_MCP_CONFIG=.mcp.json \
+GATEWAY_RULES=.mcp-gateway-rules.json \
+GATEWAY_DEFAULT_AGENT=researcher \
+npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv run python main.py
+
+# Or with default config paths
+npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv run python main.py
+
+# With debug mode to test get_gateway_status tool
+npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv run python main.py --debug
+```
+
+This opens a web interface where you can:
+1. Connect to the gateway via stdio transport
+2. View all three gateway tools
+3. Test each tool with custom parameters
+4. Inspect request/response messages
+5. Monitor logs and notifications
+
+#### Testing Gateway Tools in Inspector
+
+**1. Test `list_servers`:**
+```json
+{
+  "agent_id": "researcher"
+}
+```
+
+Expected: List of servers the "researcher" agent can access.
+
+**2. Test `get_server_tools`:**
+```json
+{
+  "agent_id": "researcher",
+  "server": "brave-search"
+}
+```
+
+Expected: Tool definitions from brave-search server.
+
+**3. Test `execute_tool`:**
+```json
+{
+  "agent_id": "researcher",
+  "server": "brave-search",
+  "tool": "brave_web_search",
+  "args": {
+    "query": "test query"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Expected: Search results from Brave (if server configured and running).
+
+#### Inspector Features
+
+- **Tools Tab**: View all gateway tools with schemas
+- **Test Execution**: Call tools with custom inputs
+- **Message Pane**: See raw JSON-RPC messages
+- **Logs**: Monitor server logs and notifications
+- **Connection**: Verify gateway startup and initialization
+
+#### Troubleshooting with Inspector
+
+If tools fail:
+1. Check the **Logs pane** for error messages
+2. Verify your `agent_id` exists in `.mcp-gateway-rules.json`
+3. Confirm downstream servers are configured in `.mcp.json`
+4. Check that required environment variables are set
+5. Review the **Message pane** for policy denial reasons
+
+### Manual Testing (without Inspector)
+
+```bash
+# Run the existing integration test
+uv run python test_integration.py
+
+# Or use FastMCP Client directly
+uv run python -c "
+import asyncio
+from fastmcp import Client
+
+async def test():
+    async with Client('main.py') as client:
+        result = await client.call_tool('list_servers', {'agent_id': 'researcher'})
+        print(result)
+
+asyncio.run(test())
+"

+
+### Request Flow
+
+1. **Agent sends request** to gateway tool with `agent_id`
+2. **Middleware intercepts**: Extracts and validates `agent_id`
+3. **Tool validates**: Checks PolicyEngine for server/tool access
+4. **Proxy forwards**: ProxyManager routes to downstream server
+5. **Session isolated**: Each request gets fresh connection
+6. **Result returns**: Transparently forwarded to agent
+7. **Audit logged**: Operation recorded with metrics
+
+### Performance Characteristics
+
+- **Context reduction**: 90%+ (400 tokens vs 5,000-50,000+)
+- **Added latency**: <100ms (P95)
+- **Gateway overhead**: <30ms per operation
+- **Session isolation**: Automatic per-request
+- **Concurrent requests**: Fully supported
+
