Runlayer

Runlayer (operated by Anysource Inc.) is an enterprise AI control plane and enablement layer for AI agents. It sits as a governed layer between the AI clients employees already use (Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, Codex, GitHub Copilot, VS Code, Windsurf — 300+ clients) and company systems, connecting them to 18,000+ MCP servers with identity, policy enforcement, runtime security (Runlayer Guard), and audit logging on every request. The platform pairs an MCP gateway, an agent builder (Runlayer Agents), a governed skills/plugins registry (Runlayer Catalog), agent IAM, shadow-AI discovery (Runlayer Watch), and observability. Developers get a tenant-scoped REST Management API (/api/v1), a first-party CLI, Python packages, an OAuth broker, and a platform self-MCP (Runlayer MCP). Backed by a $30M Series A from Felicis and Khosla Ventures (June 2026).

Runlayer publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Artificial Intelligence, AI Agents, MCP, and API Gateway.

Runlayer’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, signup flow, CLI, authentication, and 15 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

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/runlayer: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
