- **Stdio isolation:** Run stdio MCP servers in isolated Docker containers, or deploy them on Kubernetes.
- **Any transport:** Backends can be local stdio processes, remote SSE endpoints, or Streamable HTTP servers. Argus works with all three.
- **Secure by default:** JWT/OIDC authentication, RBAC authorization, encrypted secret storage, and automatic log redaction.
- **Live managemen…
