# Gateway

> Connect your tools. Work from your AI assistant.

## Docs

- [Getting Started](/getting-started): Get up and running with Gateway in under 5 minutes.
- [How It Works](/how-it-works): You talk to your AI assistant. Your AI assistant talks to your tools. That's it.
- [Installation](/installation): Detailed setup instructions for every supported editor and environment.
- [Access Control Reference](/reference/access-control): Technical reference for the Gateway ACL model — principals, roles, group resolution, and D1 schema.
- [Prompts](/reference/prompts): Gateway provides built-in MCP prompts that generate structured instructions for common workflows.
- [Resources](/reference/resources): Gateway exposes MCP resources that provide reference documentation to the AI during conversations.
- [Security Model Reference](/reference/security): Technical reference for Gateway's execution security — token delegation, capability manifests, and D1 sandboxing.
- [Tools](/reference/tools): Gateway exposes two MCP tools. All provider actions flow through this pair.
- [Linear](/providers/linear): 27 actions for managing issues, cycles, projects, and team workflow.
- [Notion](/providers/notion): 21 actions for managing pages, databases, blocks, comments, and search.
- [Slack](/providers/slack): 28 actions for messaging, channels, reactions, search, and user management.
- [Authoring Procedures](/procedures/authoring): How to turn your company's informal processes into structured procedure documents that Gateway can execute.
- [What Happens When You're Away](/procedures/autonomous): Many procedures involve waiting — for an approval, a deadline, or someone else's input. Here's what Gateway does while you're offline.
- [Document Format Reference](/procedures/format): Complete reference for the procedure document format — every section, field, and convention.
- [Procedures](/procedures/overview): Procedures are structured documents that encode repeatable company processes — expense reports, onboarding, content publishing, approvals — as executable state machines that your AI assistant can run.
- [Running Procedures](/procedures/running): How procedures execute, park on waits, and resume — in both interactive and autonomous modes.
- [Sharing & Permissions](/procedures/sharing): Control who can find, run, and manage your procedures.
- [Content Publishing Pipeline](/procedures/examples/content-publishing): Your team wants to publish a blog post, case study, or guide. This procedure coordinates the entire pipeline — from creating a brief, through writing and review, to publishing and announcement. It keeps author, editor, designer, and publisher in sync without anyone playing project manager.
- [Course / Program Launch](/procedures/examples/course-launch): Launching a new course, certification, or workshop involves product, content, engineering, and marketing — all needing to coordinate over weeks. This procedure replaces a project manager by creating the project plan, tracking progress with weekly check-ins, running a go/no-go review, and monitoring post-launch metrics.
- [Expense Report](/procedures/examples/expense-report): An employee spends company money — lunch with a client, a flight, a software license — and needs to get reimbursed. This procedure handles the entire flow: logging the expense, routing it to the right approver based on amount, waiting for approval, and confirming reimbursement.
- [New Hire Onboarding](/procedures/examples/new-hire-onboarding): A new person is joining your company. They need accounts in a dozen tools, access to the right Slack channels, an onboarding buddy, and a structured first week. This procedure handles all of it — from pre-start provisioning through a first-week check-in and close-out.
- [Partnership & Integration Evaluation](/procedures/examples/partnership-evaluation): Someone proposes a partnership — an integration, a reseller deal, an academic collaboration. Instead of ad-hoc emails and gut feelings, this procedure gives you structured scoring, team input, and clear decision routing. The outcome is always one of three: proceed, pass, or defer.
- [Best Practices](/guides/best-practices): Patterns and tips for getting the most out of Gateway.
- [Cross-Tool Workflows](/guides/cross-tool-workflows): Gateway's real power shows when you work across Linear, Notion, and Slack in a single conversation.
- [Daily Briefing](/guides/daily-briefing): Get a personal overview of everything happening across your connected tools — what's done, what's in progress, what needs your attention.
- [Your First Search](/guides/first-search): A step-by-step walkthrough of using Gateway to search across your connected tools.
