About the Company

MCP is how AI connects to tools and data—the emerging standard created by Anthropic and adopted by OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft. Our partner has deep roots in this ecosystem, having helped establish and operationalize the protocol.

The team previously built AI Actions for OpenAI, shipped AI agents used at scale, and launched the first remote MCP server in collaboration with leading AI research organizations. They are now focused on building what enterprises need to adopt MCP safely and responsibly.

The company is developing the control plane for enterprise MCP, providing security, observability, and management that allows organizations to connect AI to internal systems without added risk. The team has raised $11M in seed funding from top-tier investors and works closely with the original creator of MCP. The organization is approximately 15 people, primarily engineers, moving quickly and signing customers.
