About
Governing the machines that act on your behalf
AI agents and coding assistants now read code, call APIs, and touch production systems through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Squidward is the control plane that governs those actions: every MCP call is authenticated, policy-checked, and logged before it reaches a provider.
What we build
MCP Gateway
A zero-trust proxy that sits in front of every AI tool call, checking policy before the request ever reaches a provider.
MCP Entitlement
Fine-grained control over which MCPs and tools each user, role, or team can invoke.
Policy Engine
Declarative allow, deny, redact, quarantine, and require-approval rules evaluated in real time.
Audit Logging
A tamper-evident record of every MCP call, policy decision, and administrative action.
Who we serve
Squidward is built for CISOs, platform engineering leaders, and AI/ML platform teams operating in regulated industries: government, defense, healthcare, financial services, and critical infrastructure. Squidward supports SaaS, hybrid, on-premises, and air-gapped deployment models to meet enterprise security and data-residency requirements.
Where we are
Squidward is currently in pre-release and accepting design partners. Our compliance program (SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA) is on our roadmap and not yet certified — see the Security page for current status.
