Wato

Wato is the control point for AI agents at work — a governed, shared AI workspace that gives teams reviewed memory, approved MCP connectors and tools, versioned skills, cloud agent sessions, triggered automations, live artifacts and dashboards, and full tool-call tracing, all exposed to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client through a single remote MCP gateway. Login, SSO, and directory sync are handled by WorkOS; agents only ever see a team's reviewed memory and approved tools, never raw credentials, and every MCP call is recorded as an auditable trace. Wato is a Y Combinator (Spring 2026) company based in San Francisco.

Wato publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, MCP, Model Context Protocol, AI Agents, and Agent Governance.

Wato’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, quickstart, engineering blog, signup flow, pricing, and 14 more developer resources.

    MCP clients) can read and draft memory, discover and run approved connector tools, manage skills, and build automation
    drafts through the governed gateway.
