Runlayer

MCP gateway plus identity, observability, and threat detection for enterprise agents.

Proof of life. Emerged from stealth with $11M seed from Khosla (Keith Rabois) and Felicis, November 2025

Runlayer sits in front of Model Context Protocol servers so IT can see which agents talk to which tools, with permissions that plug into Okta and Entra. Every MCP request is inspected, not just allow-listed, which is the difference between a proxy and an actual security product. David Soria Parra, who led the MCP spec, is an advisor, which is a useful tell if you are buying the control plane for that protocol.
