About

FirstHelm is a control plane for AI agents. It sits between your agent fleet — n8n, OpenAI, Anthropic, CrewAI, LangChain, Microsoft Copilot Studio, or any custom agent via REST API — and the rest of the world, deciding what each agent is allowed to do, not just showing what it did. Every action is logged and checked in flight against your rules: budget caps, blocked actions, and per-mission cost and token visibility. Expensive, risky or irreversible actions are held for human approval, and unanswered approvals expire safely — silence is not consent. Live dashboards let you steer agents mid-mission, and FirstHelm generates audit trails and compliance exports mapped to the EU AI Act, ISO 42001, SOC 2, UK GDPR, NIST AI RMF and FCA expectations — 38 controls, scored live from your own data. Freemium, framework-agnostic, UK-built.

About

Microsoft MCP Gateway is an open source reverse proxy and management layer for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers that enables scalable, session-aware routing, lifecycle management, and centralized control of MCP services, especially in Kubernetes environments. It functions as a control plane that routes AI agent (MCP client) requests to the appropriate backend MCP servers with session affinity, dynamically handling multiple tools and endpoints under one unified gateway while ensuring authorization and observability. It lets teams deploy, update, and delete MCP servers and tools via RESTful APIs, register tool definitions, and manage these resources with access control layers such as bearer tokens and RBAC. Its architecture separates control plane management (CRUD operations on adapters/tools and metadata) from data plane routing (streamable HTTP connections and dynamic tool routing), offering features like session-aware stateful routing.
