Conduit vs. Cloudflare
Conduit is the finished MSP control plane: 113 vendors already connected, spanning PSA, RMM, and security, ready today. Cloudflare’s MCP Server Portals govern the MCP servers you already have, but you still have to bring or build one for every vendor tool.
CONDUIT
Conduit is a managed MSP control plane: 113 vendors already connected, spanning PSA, RMM, and security, with per-user access control and an audit log, ready to use today. If you want your team using AI safely across the tools you already run, that’s what Conduit is built for.
CLOUDFLARE
Cloudflare has a real MCP gateway too: MCP Server Portals, part of Cloudflare One. It handles access control for real: SSO, per-team tool permissions, DLP scanning, audit logs. What it doesn’t do is ship the connectors. A portal governs MCP servers you already have; sourcing or building one for your PSA, your RMM, and your security stack is still on you.
WHERE CONDUIT’S BUILT DIFFERENTLY
A different job, done differently.
A FINISHED VENDOR CATALOG, NOT JUST A POLICY LAYER
Conduit ships 113 vendor connections already built, one endpoint, per-user access control, and an audit log, live today. Cloudflare’s MCP Server Portals do real governance on top of MCP servers you point them at, but they don’t come with an MSP vendor catalog. Cloudflare’s own published MCP servers cover Cloudflare’s own products, not PSA/RMM/security tools. Building or sourcing those connectors is still your job before a portal has anything to govern.
BUILT FOR THE MSP BUYING DECISION
Conduit is $39 per seat per month, flat, published, with every connector included. Cloudflare’s portal pricing rolls into Cloudflare One’s general per-user Zero Trust pricing: no MSP-specific number, no MSP-specific persona page, and no PSA/RMM/security-vendor integration pages anywhere in its MCP docs.
BUILT FOR MSPS WHO WANT TO RESELL AI TO THEIR OWN CLIENTS
Conduit includes a reseller/wholesale model built specifically for this: $18/seat wholesale, a partner program, and customer-provisioning tools. Cloudflare does have an MSP/partner motion: the Tenant API lets partnered MSPs manage Zero Trust deployments across customer accounts. But that’s scoped to Cloudflare’s network-security suite (Gateway, DNS filtering). Nothing in Cloudflare’s docs ties that reseller motion to MCP Server Portals specifically.
Credit where it’s due.
Cloudflare’s MCP Server Portals are a capable access-control layer: SSO and MFA through Cloudflare Access, per-team tool-level permissions on the same MCP server, DLP scanning for sensitive data in transit, and audit logging with Enterprise-tier log export. If your team is already building and hosting its own MCP servers, putting a portal in front of them is a serious, credible way to govern that traffic. Cloudflare also runs one of the largest networks on the internet, with a real free tier (100,000 Workers requests a day, paid usage from $5 a month) and an AI Gateway built for model-call proxying: caching, rate limiting, and guardrails, available on every plan.
