What it does
Metorial is a gateway between AI agents and the tools a company uses. Agents that support MCP connect through it to approved tools and skills, each tied to the person behind the agent, and every call is recorded. The site says Metorial is backed by Y Combinator and describes it as open source. More than 1,000 integrations are available, and teams can add internal systems and private APIs as their own providers. Metorial handles authentication, identity, hosting and security. Magic MCP combines the approved tools into a single URL that people connect to through single sign-on, with no tokens to manage. For governance, Portals give employees a place to sign in and see the tools and skills they are allowed to use, with SSO, SAML and SCIM support. Protoguard checks messages and tool calls against policies and, according to the site, catches prompt injection, watches for provider schema changes and blocks requests outside policy. Tracing keeps a searchable record of sessions, messages and tool calls, and Skills let experts write a workflow once for every teammate's agent to use. The site says it works with Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot and in-house agents, and that Metorial can run in your own cloud.
