An AI Gateway, registry, and proxy that sits in front of any MCP, A2A, or REST/gRPC APIs, exposing a unified endpoint with centralized discovery, guardrails and management. Optimizes Agent & Tool calling, and supports plugins.
Connect any AI model to 1200+ integrations (MCP, CLI, API)
Official Microsoft Learn MCP server and CLI tool providing real-time, trusted Microsoft docs and code samples to AI agents.
Open-source credential gateway with a built-in vault. give your AI agents access to services without exposing keys.
Roam is a tool that helps AI coding agents understand your codebase before making changes. It builds a local graph of your code's symbols, calls, and dependencies, and provides commands to query this graph. It also generates tamper-evident evidence packets that prove what changes were made and why, ensuring accountability.
Roam is a credential-free, 100% local codebase intelligence layer designed for AI coding agents. It combines a CLI with 241 commands and an MCP server with 227 tools (57 in the default core preset) to provide deep code understanding across 28 languages. Roam builds a SQLite-backed graph of symbols, calls, imports, layers, git history, runtime traces, smells, clones, security flows, and algorithmic patterns. It introduces change-safety gates that enforce policies (read-only, safe-edit, migration, autonomous PR) and generates tamper-evident ChangeEvidence packets that answer eight questions about who acted, what authority existed, what context was read, what changed, what could break, what policy applied, what verified it, and who accepted risk. Roam is dependency-aware, not string-based, and can replace 5-10 tool calls with a single command that completes in under 0.5 seconds. It is designed for agent-first workflows and integrates with MCP-compatible clients like Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf.

100% local by default; source code never leaves the machine. Opt-in metrics-push is the only outbound surface and prints payload under --dry-run.
