Which fits
Choose TrueFoundry if
You also want an LLM gateway, for model routing and spend, in the same product.
You are a small team that needs SSO now.
You need on-prem or air-gapped deployment.
Choose Statio if
You want MCP governance without taking on an LLM gateway.
Your team is six or more, and you want a bill that does not grow per person.
You want each agent to have its own identity, grants and short-lived token.
Your APIs are large: mcp-gen's generic mode keeps them to three tools however many endpoints there are, and each version can run on a preview URL before you promote or roll it back.
Full plan details are on the pricing page, and how Statio decides access is in MCP permissions.
Lock down your first tool in minutes.
Three MCP servers, one of them hosted, and 10,000 calls a month, free and without a card. If you outgrow it the next plan is $19.
Two steps: create your account, then install the desktop app on each machine that runs an AI client.
