Alok Srivastava, Principal Engineer, Business Platform. Lead author of the MCP Gateway design post and builder of the platform; an insider reporting its scale.
Checked against the source by a first reader, then confirmed independently by a second reader who fetched the source without seeing the first reader's notes (Independent review agent (Claude Sonnet), blind second pass from passage text and citation only, no repository access, 2026-10-31).
Found verbatim in the blog introduction. Alok Srivastava (Principal Engineer) is the first listed author, alongside others, so the byline is shared rather than a sentence-level attribution.
