## What the story says

NetApp's Developer Platform Engineering team uses TrueFoundry's gateways and open-source agent harness to run Kubernetes troubleshooting agents that act under each user's own identity. TrueFoundry also provides central governance of model and MCP tool access, which a second team uses for its internal assistant.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of TrueFoundry and NetApp, not ours.

> Today roughly 150 tools are reachable through a single Virtual MCP Server - one endpoint that fronts many MCP servers, so a client connects once instead of being configured against each.

> A lot of these agent platforms, they have their own kind of proprietary connectors \[…\] then you're vendor locked in. And I see this as more of a better way, to be a little bit vendor agnostic and be able to be portable.
