Developed and integrated an Open Policy Agent (OPA) plugin for the IBM/mcp-context-forge repository, enabling policy-based access control within the MCP Gateway. Focused on backend development and plugin architecture, the work involved setting up an OPA server, integrating it with the gateway, and configuring centralized Rego policies to govern tool invocation requests. Leveraging Python, Rego, and YAML, the implementation enhanced security and governance by enforcing policy evaluation at the gateway layer. This approach improved auditability and reduced operational risk, aligning with organizational security objectives. No major bugs were reported, reflecting a focused and robust feature delivery during the development period.
