Clawvisor

Clawvisor is the authorization layer for AI agents — a Y Combinator (Spring 2026) security gateway that sits between an AI agent and the tools it acts on (Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Contacts, GitHub, Slack, Notion, Linear, Stripe, Twilio, iMessage). Agents never hold downstream credentials: they declare a task describing their purpose and the service/action pairs they need, the user approves that scope once, and Clawvisor enforces restrictions, task scope, and LLM intent verification on every request before injecting vaulted, short-lived credentials, executing through an adapter, and writing a full audit trail. It ships open-core as a self-hostable Go daemon with a CLI, web dashboard, TUI, and an OAuth 2.1 MCP server, plus an official Claude Code plugin. Agents integrate over a plain HTTP gateway or MCP — no SDK or agent-code changes required.

Clawvisor publishes 5 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Auth API, Catalog API, Gateway API, and 2 more. Tagged areas include AI Agents, Authorization, Security, Identity, and Access Control.

The Clawvisor catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Clawvisor’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, pricing, signup flow, authentication, and 20 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/clawvisor: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
