The governed path to AI adoption
One platform to govern every model, MCP server, and AI workflow, so your whole company can put AI to work with confidence.
Trusted by security and platform teams at:
AI you can't govern is AI you can't rely on.
Leaders want to enable their people to adopt AI quickly, but they can’t do it without the confidence that it’s governed, visible, and reliable.
What we hear on calls with security, platform, and AI leaders.
One unified platform for every AI request
Point your AI clients, agents, and applications at Barndoor instead of at models and MCP servers directly. Every request is authenticated, checked against policy, scrubbed of sensitive data, metered, and logged, then passed through.
Control every AI request, in real time, not reviewed after the fact.
Visibility
Track every AI and agent action
See every user and agent’s activity, policy enforcement, and spend in one dashboard, backed by detailed audit logs of every AI action, so you can trace exactly what happened.
Access Control
Govern AI and agent access and actions
Set fine-grained access for every user and agent, from role and group down to the individual tool and action, with every agent given its own profile. Enforce policies in real time, and protect sensitive data with native DLP before it reaches a model or MCP server.
AI Cost Control
Optimize AI spend
See and cap AI spend by user, team, and model in real time, with every request automatically routed to the most cost-effective option.
AI Enablement
Give every team the tools to delegate to AI
Stand up governed access in days, with every team pulling from one catalog of 100+ MCP servers and models, distributed securely through virtual keys. From there, teams can safely delegate more work to AI.

Frequently asked questions
What is Barndoor?
Barndoor is an AI gateway. It sits between every model and MCP server your teams use, so every AI request is checked against access and data loss prevention policies, metered against token budgets, and auditable.
Who is Barndoor for?
Barndoor is for teams adopting AI to be more productive and create new value, whether that’s revenue, time saved, or new ways of working. CTOs, VPs of Engineering, platform teams, and AI operations leaders typically put it in place, giving their organization a governed path to safely delegate work to AI, for both people and agents.
When should a company use Barndoor?
As soon as you want to start putting AI to work across the company, developers and business users alike. Barndoor gives you a governed path to manage AI access to models and MCP servers, control costs, and maintain auditability as adoption grows.
Does Barndoor integrate with our existing stack?
Yes. Barndoor works with any model provider and any MCP server, including 100+ Barndoor-hosted MCPs plus any custom or official MCP servers you already use. It also connects to your identity provider (Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace) and your SIEM (Splunk, Datadog).
How does Barndoor differ from an MCP gateway?
An MCP gateway only routes MCP traffic. Barndoor governs that plus every model you use, all under one identity, policy, and audit layer.
How does Barndoor differ from an LLM gateway?
An LLM gateway only routes and manages traffic to models. Barndoor governs that plus every MCP server you use, all under one identity, policy, and audit layer.
How long does it take to implement?
Most teams are up and running in days. Connect your identity provider, add your models and MCP servers, and set your policies. Traffic starts flowing with logging active from day one.
Is Barndoor secure and compliant?
Yes. Barndoor is SOC 2 Type II compliant, with zero-trust access controls and a full audit trail of every action. Visit our trust center.
