Casdoor
Agent-first identity and access management with an MCP and agent gateway.
Nasiko
Open runtime for deploying and operating AI agents.
Open Connector
Open-source auth gateway connecting SaaS apps to AI agents via SDK, CLI and MCP.
Tyk Gateway
Cloud-native API and AI gateway supporting REST, GraphQL, gRPC and MCP, with rate limiting, auth and analytics.
OpenComputer
OpenComputer is a platform for building and deploying long-running AI agents as code. You define an agent as a TypeScript function with its model, tools and MCP servers, deploy it with one command, and every session gets its own real cloud computer, with managed sessions, schedules and API keys kept outside the agent's runtime. Templates include a coding agent that edits a repo, runs checks and opens a draft pull request, and market-research and GTM agents; its own Slack coding agent runs on it. Pricing is pay-as-you-go for model calls and per-second machine time.
Grok Bot Jev Router
Grok Bot Jev Router is an open-source Python reference router that puts TypeSafe Jev in front of Grok Bot as a cheap decision layer. Before expensive research, browser, retry or subagent work, Jev classifies the request and returns an explicit action such as reuse a cached result, stop a failing retry, cap research, run a deterministic step, or ask a human. It starts in shadow mode that only logs decisions, has an active mode for a Grok Bot skill that honors them, and includes a kill switch. It never sends, pays or deletes anything itself.
