Schema-driven tool generation. Imports OpenAPI, GraphQL, WSDL or .proto schemas and creates fully typed MCP tools automatically.
Self-hosted deployment. Runs in a Docker container on any orchestrator (AWS ECS, Azure Container Apps, etc.) with zero SaaS dependencies.
Code Mode token optimization. Reduces context window usage by ~98% using three meta-tools instead of hundreds of individual definitions.
Enterprise auth & rate limiting. Supports Bearer, Basic, API Key, OAuth2, AWS Cognito SRP and configurable token bucket limits.
Observability dashboard. Provides latency, throughput, token usage and error metrics via OpenTelemetry integration.
Semantic tool search. Hybrid full-text, fuzzy and optional vector similarity search for quick tool discovery.

Zero-storage architecture. Tool calls fetch data directly from source APIs; no data is cached or stored.
Authorization-first access. All tools require explicit customer authorization before they become callable.
Bi-directional actions. Agents can read and write data (e.g., update records) where the integration supports it.
Unified auth handling. OAuth, API-key flows, token refresh and optional embedded sign-in UI are provided out of the box.
Tool discovery controls. Scope available tools to fit model limits and reduce surface area.
SDKs & language support. Client SDKs for TypeScript, Python, PHP, Java, C#, Ruby, Go and UI components for React, Vue, Angular, JS.
Embedded security boundaries. Each connection defines isolated access, with read/write, object and action restrictions.
Virtual & native webhooks. Unlimited webhook subscriptions with virtual polling for systems lacking native webhooks.
