Buyer fit
Fits platform teams that want one control point for model calls and agent tool access (MCP), with self-hosted options for regulated environments. Broader than a pure gateway, so check you are not paying for deployment features you will not use.
Market outlook
Well placed as MCP governance becomes a buying criterion. Competes with LiteLLM and Portkey on gateway features and with cloud platforms on deployment.
What to check
- Combines an AI gateway with an MCP gateway for agent tool access.
- Rate limiting and budget controls per team or application.
- Also offers model deployment and serving, which widens the scope of a contract.
