Products: Agent Router. 8 dated facts, prices, standards and two checks, each sourced, read 5 November 2026. Source: https://agentmcpdirectory.com/vendors/agent-router Site: Agent MCP Directory Last reviewed: 2026-11-05 # Agent Router: MCP vendor profile Agent Router, the renamed Envoy AI Gateway, is an open-source Envoy-based router that gives agents one OpenAI-compatible API for models and an MCPRoute gateway that aggregates and filters MCP servers, as documented by the vendor. The Agent Router repository says nothing deployed is renamed by the move to the Agentic AI Foundation, with the same release cadence (github.com). ## At a glance | Listed as | Agent Router (formerly Envoy AI Gateway) | | --- | --- | | Type | Gateways and proxies | | Operator | Agentic AI Foundation project | | Home | aigateway.envoyproxy.io | | Price | open source, Apache-2.0 | | Read | 5 November 2026 | ## What it does for this layer The github.com/envoyproxy/ai-gateway URL redirected to github.com/theagentrouter/agent-router on 5 Nov 2026; the repository keeps the Apache 2.0 license and had about 2.4k stars ([github.com](https://github.com/envoyproxy/ai-gateway), observed 5 November 2026). Agent Router configures MCP routing through an MCPRoute resource (apiVersion aigateway.envoyproxy.io/v1beta1), with a worked example that proxies the GitHub MCP server ([aigateway.envoyproxy.io](https://aigateway.envoyproxy.io/docs/capabilities/mcp/)). Agent Router states "Complete June 2025 MCP spec compliance", including tool calls, notifications, prompts, resources and server-to-client requests ([aigateway.envoyproxy.io](https://aigateway.envoyproxy.io/docs/capabilities/mcp/)). Agent Router supports Streamable HTTP for MCP and enforces OAuth authentication flows natively, per its MCP capability page ([aigateway.envoyproxy.io](https://aigateway.envoyproxy.io/docs/capabilities/mcp/)). The Agent Router docs were at version 1.2 on 5 Nov 2026, with an Agent Router CLI listed in the docs ([aigateway.envoyproxy.io](https://aigateway.envoyproxy.io/docs/capabilities/mcp/)). The Agent Router site says it was "Formerly Envoy AI Gateway" and is "now an Agentic AI Foundation project", with the same code and maintainers ([aigateway.envoyproxy.io](https://aigateway.envoyproxy.io/)). The Agent Router MCP gateway aggregates several MCP servers into one endpoint, filters which tools clients see, and injects upstream API keys ([aigateway.envoyproxy.io](https://aigateway.envoyproxy.io/docs/capabilities/mcp/)). ## Products and plans | Product | What it does | Price | | --- | --- | --- | | Agent Router | Envoy-based open-source gateway for LLM and MCP traffic on Kubernetes. | open source, Apache-2.0; from 0 USD (source, as of 5 November 2026) | ## Standards | Standard | Part of it | Status | What the page says | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | MCP | spec revision | Partial | States compliance with the June 2025 MCP spec; no statement on 2025-11-25 or 2026-07-28. | aigateway.envoyproxy.io | | MCP | streamable HTTP | Supports | Full support for Streamable HTTP transport. | aigateway.envoyproxy.io | ## Checks on its own domain | Check | Domain | Result | Scanned | Method | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Ora cached score | aigateway.envoyproxy.io | no cached score GET /api/score returned HTTP 404 (no cached score) | not scanned | how it was taken | | Cloudflare agent-readiness scan | aigateway.envoyproxy.io | 20 of 100, L1 Basic Web Presence; 3 of 15 counted checks passed | 5 November 2026 | how it was taken | ## What it does not do - Agent Router does not host MCP server code; it routes to backends that run elsewhere. ## Related on this site Type - [Gateways and proxies](https://agentmcpdirectory.com/vendors/by-type/gateway/) Standards - [MCP](https://agentmcpdirectory.com/standards/mcp/) Section - [All vendors](https://agentmcpdirectory.com/vendors/) Edition 4 November 2026 Method [How rows are verified](https://agentmcpdirectory.com/method/) Data [CSV and JSON](https://agentmcpdirectory.com/data/) Markdown [This page as markdown](https://agentmcpdirectory.com/vendors/agent-router/index.md) ## Sources - [Agent Router](https://aigateway.envoyproxy.io/), read 5 November 2026 - [GitHub - envoyproxy/ai-gateway (redirects to theagentrouter/agent-router)](https://github.com/envoyproxy/ai-gateway), read 5 November 2026 - [Model Context Protocol (MCP) Gateway | Agent Router](https://aigateway.envoyproxy.io/docs/capabilities/mcp/), read 5 November 2026 Last reviewed 5 November 2026
