Overview
Give every employee the golden path to use agents, then watch adoption multiply. AI enablement and control in one platform. The default for AI-native teams like Instacart, Gusto, Lemonade, dbt Labs, and AngelList. Runlayer serves companies rolling out AI agents across engineering, security, IT, operations, and business teams, particularly where employees adopt tools such as Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, and Codex faster than platform and security teams can govern them.
The platform includes shadow AI discovery that surfaces unmanaged agents, MCPs, skills, plugins, and client configurations, with visibility into agent sessions. It offers a catalog of more than 18,000 MCPs, supports internal MCPs, and serves approved tools through a governed MCP gateway across major AI clients. Runlayer connects to a company's identity provider and existing AI clients, adding identity controls, policy enforcement, observability, and audit.
The founding team previously built Zapier MCP and Agents. Backed by Khosla and Felicis. Based in NYC & SF.

- Zero-trust networking for Runlayer Agents | Runlayer
Every useful agent combines three things: access to private data, exposure to untrusted content, and a way to reach the outside world. Simon Willison calls this “the lethal trifecta”.
- "If a peer comes to ask me how to deal with the agentic risk that we're all seeing the first thing I'd tell…
him or her is to get Runlayer." - Jonathan Jaffe, CISO Lemonade Bringing on Runlayer gave Jonathan and his team full visibility of shadow AI, MCPs, skills, and agents across Lemonade without slowing down the business. Over the past 90 days, over 1700 Lemonade employees have made 300K MCP tool calls.
