Bloque public beta: the hosted MCP gateway for your team
Somebody on your team just became the IT department
If your company uses AI tools seriously, someone — probably a developer who never asked for the job — is now responsible for how the whole team connects its AI tools to the outside world.
That person deals with three problems every week:
API keys pasted into random config files on a dozen laptops. No way to see what the team's AI tools are actually touching. And every new hire means another afternoon walking someone through MCP setup by hand.
The tools built to solve this are built for enterprises: gateways you deploy on Kubernetes, platforms that assume an identity provider, products whose pricing page is a "Talk to sales" button. If you're a 20-person company, you're not the customer — you're just told to become one.
What Bloque does
Bloque is a hosted MCP gateway. One admin sets up the servers; everyone else just points their MCP client at one endpoint. Behind that endpoint:
Approved servers, shared by the team. You pick which MCP servers your company uses. Everyone gets them — nobody configures anything locally.
Credentials stored once, encrypted. Connect your GitHub org, your Slack workspace, your shared database once. Keys never live in anyone's local config again.
A key per member. Someone leaves? Revoke their key. Nothing else changes.
Who-called-what logs. Not enterprise audit machinery — just an answer to "what did our AI touch today?"
Plus a playground for testing servers and debug logs for when things break.
Where Bloque comes from
Bloque started as a fork of the open-source Plugged.in, an AI content platform with MCP management as one of its features. We wanted only that one feature — so we kept the MCP server management core, removed everything else, and rebuilt it as a hosted, multi-tenant gateway: one router, isolated runners, per-member keys, team billing. The fork is a statement of focus, not a shortcut — and credit to the Plugged.in team for the foundation. If you'd rather self-host a broader platform, their project is worth your time.
What the beta is (and isn't)
We're launching as a paid public beta. Beta means we're honest about scope: shared servers currently use a shared upstream identity — per-member keys and logs live on Bloque's side. That makes today's Bloque great for team resources (GitHub org, shared Slack connection, shared DB) and not yet the right tool for personal accounts.
The GA release, roughly 8 weeks out, ships per-user OAuth: every member acts as themselves in every tool. In the enterprise-gateway world, getting there means plans that start around $499/mo for 10 users. On Bloque, the same 10-person team pays $101/mo at GA — $85/mo locked for a year if you join during the beta. A price a small team can expense without asking anyone.
Beta customers lock in beta pricing for 12 months — Team at $29/mo + $7/seat (seats rise to $9 at GA). There's a free tier if you just want to try the playground.
