Cinchy

Cinchy is a data collaboration ("dataware") platform whose network-based data architecture lets enterprise applications share live, governed data without making copies or building point-to-point integrations. Its current focus, PeriMind, is an enterprise control plane for AI that secures, governs, and audits every interaction between AI agents and enterprise systems, data, and applications. Cinchy exposes a REST API for executing Cinchy Query Language (CQL), calling versioned saved queries, triggering data-sync jobs, and managing secrets, with authentication via bearer tokens, personal access tokens, HTTP Basic, and an embedded OAuth2/OIDC IdentityServer. Official Angular and JavaScript SDKs and embeddable app experiences are published on GitHub. Cinchy was surfaced as a Techstars portfolio company.

Cinchy is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Data, Data Collaboration, Dataware, and Data Integration.

Cinchy’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, support, engineering blog, changelog, authentication, and 14 more developer resources.
