Description

Stacklok, founded by Kubernetes co-creator Craig McLuckie, is building the enterprise standard for secure AI context delivery. Our Stacklok Enterprise MCP Platform brings the Model Context Protocol into production-grade enterprise environments: a purpose-built runtime, gateway, and registry that securely connects AI agents to internal data and systems behind the firewall, with built-in governance, observability, and policy enforcement at scale. The platform is already deployed by industry leaders operationalizing AI agents across tens of thousands of users. Stacklok partners with leading AI platforms, helps maintain the official MCP registry, and builds in the open through our ToolHive open source project. We give enterprises the security and control to move AI from pilots into production, confidently and at scale. Connect With Us!
