Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add perforce-agentic-gateway -- uvx perforce-agentic-gateway

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

Common questions

Is Perforce Agentic Gateway safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (2026.6) reached the registry last month.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

PAG — Perforce Agentic Gateway

Perforce Agentic Gateway (PAG) is a local MCP gateway providing a token efficient code mode. AI clients are configured once, to connect to PAG and all other MCP servers are instead configured through PAG. Instead of being set up with and loading the tools of each MCP separately, PAG manages the running MCP server processes, restarts them when they crash, and stores their necessary credentials in your OS Keychain.

Prerequisites

[uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/) — the only hard requirement.
Docker or Podman — only for servers that run as containers.
Each server's own dependencies — PAG proxies servers, it doesn't bundle them (e.g. Node for npx servers, an account for API servers).

Quickstart

1. Connect your AI client

PAG runs as a stdio MCP server, launched via uvx.

With Claude Code:

claude mcp add pag -- uvx perforce-agentic-gateway@latest

For any client that uses `.mcp.json` (Cursor, and others):

"mcpServers": { "pag": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["perforce-agentic-gateway@latest"] } } }

@latest keeps PAG current on each launch. Add --working-directory to pin a project. Other clients (Codex, VS Code, ...): see Connecting AI clients. Restart the client; pag__* tools should appear.

Prefer to install once instead of fetching on demand? uv tool install perforce-agentic-gateway puts a perforce-agentic-gateway command on your PATH that you run in place of uvx perforce-agentic-gateway — see Installing PAG as a tool.

2. See what's available

Ask your assistant:

"What MCP servers are in the PAG registry?"

Lists everything installable from configured registries — including Perforce's first-party servers, e.g. P4, BlazeMeter, Perfecto, Delphix, IPLM.

3. Enable a server from the catalog

Perforce product support MCP servers are available straight from the catalog. Ask your assistant to recommend servers for what you're working on:

"What MCP servers would help with this project?"

PAG scans your project for technology signals and suggests catalog servers, always asking before it enables anything. Or name one directly:

"Enable the P4 server."

PAG records it in your config and starts it. Most Perforce servers need credentials (typically a server URL and an access token); when so, the assistant hands you a dashboard link to enter them — secrets never travel through the chat. See Perforce servers and Secrets.

Browse the full catalog any time with uvx perforce-agentic-gateway view. See Using PAG.

4. Or add a custom server

Anything not in a registry — a local command, a container, or a remote HTTP endpoint — you add directly. The MCP fetch server runs via uvx and needs no credentials, so it's a handy zero-setup server to run end to end and see the flow:

"Add a custom server named fetch that runs uvx mcp-server-fetch."

PAG writes it to your config and starts it.

5. Run a real command

"Fetch https://modelcontextprotocol.io and tell me what MCP is."

The assistant calls fetch__fetch through PAG and answers from the live page.

Why it stays fast

AI client --one stdio connection--> PAG --> server A (command)

| --> server B (remote HTTP) +-> server C (container)

PAG doesn't forward every downstream tool to your client (20 servers can mean a thousand tools). It exposes a small, fixed pag__* set and keeps the full catalog inside the gateway:

`pag__explore` searches the catalog; only the slice the assistant asks for enters its context.
`pag__execute` runs JavaScript that calls downstream tools, so loops and fan-out across servers take one round trip instead of many.

Full mechanics (the sandbox, qualified tool names, prompts and resources) are in Tools and the sandbox.
