MCP Server Hosting
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the standard for enabling AI models to access external data and tools. Aether Platform provides the optimal environment to host these MCP servers and securely connect them to your private databases and APIs.
Accessing Private Data
“I want AI to query my database, but I can’t open ports to the internet.” Aether solves this challenge by integrating the AI Namespace with the Network Connectivity Namespace (NCS).
Architecture Flow
- Deploy: Developers deploy an MCP Server (e.g.,
postgres-mcp) into the AI Namespace. - Connect: The MCP Server uses the Network Connectivity Namespace within the same tenant as its gateway.
- Tunnel: NCS establishes an encrypted tunnel to the target DB located on-premise or in a private cloud.
- Serve: AI agents (like Claude Desktop or Cursor) access schema info and query results securely via the hosted MCP Server.
Shared Intelligence: Skills Registry
Manage and share developed MCP servers and effective prompt configurations via the “Skills Registry”. This allows you to turn “AI agents specialized in specific tasks” into assets and reuse them across the entire organization.
Secure by Design
- No Public Ports: There is no need to expose database ports to the internet.
- Audit Logging: Every access by the AI—“which table,” “what data”—is recorded in the audit logs.
