About
Headscale is an open-source, self-hosted implementation of the control server used by the Tailscale network, enabling users to keep full ownership of their private tailnets while using Tailscale clients. It supports registering users and nodes, issuing pre-authentication keys, advertising subnet-routes and exit-node capabilities, enforcing access-control lists, and integrating with OIDC/SAML identity providers for user authentication. The server is deployable via Debian/Ubuntu packages or standalone binaries, configurable through a YAML file, and managed via its CLI or REST API. Headscale tracks each node, route, and user in its database, supports route approval workflows, and enables features such as subnet routing, exit node designation, and node-to-node mesh within the tailnet. Being self-hosted, it gives organizations and hobbyists full control over their private network endpoints, encryption keys, and traffic flows, rather than depending on a commercial control plane.

About
Microsoft MCP Gateway is an open source reverse proxy and management layer for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers that enables scalable, session-aware routing, lifecycle management, and centralized control of MCP services, especially in Kubernetes environments. It functions as a control plane that routes AI agent (MCP client) requests to the appropriate backend MCP servers with session affinity, dynamically handling multiple tools and endpoints under one unified gateway while ensuring authorization and observability. It lets teams deploy, update, and delete MCP servers and tools via RESTful APIs, register tool definitions, and manage these resources with access control layers such as bearer tokens and RBAC. Its architecture separates control plane management (CRUD operations on adapters/tools and metadata) from data plane routing (streamable HTTP connections and dynamic tool routing), offering features like session-aware stateful routing.
