Aembit
Vendor: Aembit
In short: Aembit gives agents just-in-time, secretless access so they never hold standing credentials. Its MCP Identity Gateway runs on a customer-hosted VM and checks every MCP request. It names many standards, including SPIFFE and Cross App Access, and offers a free Starter tier for three agents.
When does Aembit fit?
- You want to start free with a few agents.
- You want secretless credential exchange for MCP traffic.
- You need SPIFFE, OAuth 2.1 and XAA support in one place.
When is it less suited?
- You need a named-person approval step; this was not found in the material reviewed.
