# `Mead.Gateway`
[🔗](https://github.com/albertosca/mead/blob/main/lib/mead/gateway.ex#L1)

The single plug behind the shared Bandit listener: it hands a request to the MCP plug or to the
deck plug by the first segment of its path.

  * `/deck` and anything under it go to the deck plug, when there is one;
  * everything else goes to the MCP plug, when there is one, so its own refusals (the JSON-RPC
    404 for a path other than `/mcp`) stay byte for byte what they were before the deck existed;
  * with no plug to answer, the reply is an empty `404`.

Only the first segment selects a plug; the plugs do the rest of their own routing and refuse
what they do not serve. The options are `mcp:` and `deck:`, each `nil` or `{module, options}`;
each plug's `init/1` runs once, here.
