Claude Code is increasingly used across engineering teams, but scaling it introduces challenges around cost attribution, observability, access control, and MCP tool governance. The post explains Claude Code's internal agent architecture including subagents, agent teams, skills, hooks, and the Agent SDK. It then outlines what breaks at scale and how an AI gateway like Portkey addresses these gaps by adding multi-provider routing, team-level budget controls, OTEL-compliant observability, guardrails, and a centralized MCP Gateway with role-based access control.
