Sentinel
MCP governance layer for organisations deploying AI agents
Multi-tenant control plane that brokers requests between agents and downstream MCP servers: server registration, a default-deny role-based policy engine, an encrypted credential vault, audit logging, and an OAuth 2.1 proxy for upstream MCP servers. The commercial effort was sunset once well-funded competitors (Runlayer, golf.dev) entered the same space; the core was open-sourced instead, as a self-hosted governance layer anyone can run.
Why it matters
Direct lineage to knownissue: both are MCP infrastructure, and Sentinel’s auth model informed knownissue’s. Winding the company down and opening the engine was the right way to keep the useful part alive.
Built with TypeScript, Hono, tRPC, Postgres, Prisma, OAuth 2.1, React.
