Who to approach

Questions to ask them

30-second pitch

MCPGate Boundary Appliance is a gate in your own environment: a tool call that isn't explicitly allowed never reaches the tool.

We recorded 7 live checks, including 5 attack cases it had to refuse or flag, and every one matched. You can re-run them yourself without an account.

Subject: MCPGate Boundary Appliance: MCPGate Boundary Appliance is a gate in your own environment

Hi [first name],

MCPGate Boundary Appliance is a gate you run yourself between AI agents and their MCP tool servers. Every tool call is evaluated before it is forwarded; a call that is not explicitly allowed does not reach the tool.

Live demo: https://cainstudio.online/guide-mcpgate-appliance-lab.html

The evidence: We recorded 7 live checks, including 5 attack cases it had to refuse or flag, and every one matched. You can re-run them yourself without an account.

LinkedIn connection note (under 300 characters)

Hi [name], mCPGate Boundary Appliance is a gate in your own environment: a tool call that isn't explicitly allowed never reaches the tool. Happy to show you the live demo.

One follow-up, three days later (then stop)

Hi [first name], here is the live demo: https://cainstudio.online/guide-mcpgate-appliance-lab.html

Live demo call script

1. Show the normal case
   Do: Open https://cainstudio.online/guide-mcpgate-appliance-lab.html and run: Read a report file (allowed tool)
   Say: On the list, harmless argument: forwarded.

2. Now the attack
   Do: Run: A tool not on the list
   Say: Default-deny: not forwarded.

3. Now the attack
   Do: Run: Delete_database
   Say: Held for approval.

4. Let them check you
   Do: Send the kit link and ask them to run python3 verify.py --live on their own computer.
   Say: They don't have to take your word for any of this. That's the point.

5. Say the limit yourself
   Do: The live demo runs the gate's decision logic, not a Kubernetes install; the chart has not been run on a customer's cluster yet.
   Say: Say it before they ask. It costs nothing and it earns trust.

When they push back

Can we run it ourselves?

Yes, that is the point: it ships as a package and a Kubernetes chart. We'd set it up with your engineer during the pilot, and it hasn't yet run on a customer's cluster.

Why should I believe your numbers?

You shouldn't have to. Run the kit on your own computer: https://cainstudio.online/ihvrk-mcpgate-appliance.html. It re-sends every request and compares the answers, using no code of ours.

What doesn't it do?

Written down here: https://cainstudio.online/guide-mcpgate-appliance-limits.html

Are you SOC 2 or ISO certified?

No, we hold no certification. What we offer instead is evidence you can check yourself.

Has anyone independent tested it?

No third-party audit has been completed. The attack cases in the kit are our own. I'd rather tell you that now.

Who else uses it?

We are an early company. I can show you the product working and the evidence, not a customer list.

It found nothing. So we're safe?

No. It means none of its checks fired. It doesn't prove something is safe.

How much is it?

Sell MCPGate Boundary Appliance as the $500 30-day pilot.
