Every forward-thinking company, startup or not, should be investing time into building out internal agents capabilities and the infrastructure needed for it.
We run an equivalent solution to what Clay describes as an MCP gateway called Agent Vault that we’ve actually open sourced at @infisical.
Agent Vault inventories all of our internal agents and brokers them granular access to any service, agnostic of the interface be it MCP, SDK, CLI, or raw API call. It’s deployed within a private network within close proximity to internal agents to reduce latency amid hundreds and thousands of inference calls passing through it.
We also have an internal template that folks can use to build custom agents that are readily compatible with Agent Vault.
We’ll be publishing more on how to build an agent workforce, especially the security infrastructure portion of it, soon but for now I’d recommend peeking Agent Vault. This is basically the starting point.
Noah Horner (@noahhorner_): Super interesting hearing @claybavor talk about the internal AI tool (called ‘Pinecone’), that Sierra has built for all it’s employees.
