Designing a Home MCP Gateway for Conversational AI
Episode 4582
Published 1 week, 2 days ago
Description
Daniel asks how to design an MCP gateway for home use that conversational AI clients can actually connect to. We break down the transport options — Streamable HTTP vs WebSocket — and the authentication landscape: OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, device authorization grants, and mutual TLS. Then we get practical: Cloudflare Tunnel and Tailscale Funnel for safe network exposure, and why the ecosystem still feels immature for this exact use case.
