Question 1

What makes MintMCP's Bundle model different from Runlayer?

Accepted Answer

Both products support SCIM provisioning, so identity sync is comparable. The difference is the access object: Runlayer asks you to wire each role across a Plugin, an Access Rule, and a separate Agent Account for every agent — three objects to keep aligned as people and tools change. In MintMCP, one Bundle carries group membership, curated tools, access policy, and audit, and the same object governs agents via Agent Bundles.

Question 2

We've standardized on a DLP vendor. Can MintMCP work with it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. MintMCP lets you write JavaScript policies that run on every tool call and route to AWS Bedrock Guardrails, GCP DLP, Microsoft Purview, Nightfall, or Skyflow, with built-in templates for each. Runlayer's ToolGuard handles built-in detection only and doesn't expose a hook for your own logic, so if you need to enforce an existing DLP program at the gateway, MintMCP is the more direct path.

Question 3

How does MintMCP secure individual AI agents?

Accepted Answer

Agent Bundles give each agent its own credentials scoped to the tools it needs, and you can rotate or revoke them independently of human users. Runlayer's Agent Accounts cover similar ground, but they have to be assembled by hand from a Plugin and an Access Rule.

Question 4

My team is on Runlayer today. How hard is switching?

Accepted Answer

Standard MCP servers that run on Runlayer will run on MintMCP, so most of the work is reconfiguring rather than rebuilding. Migration is usually three steps: (1) bring your MCP servers in (most are already in the catalog), (2) set up SSO, SCIM, and Bundles that mirror your existing Plugins and Access Rules, and (3) point Claude, Cursor, or Copilot at the MintMCP gateway URL. Many teams finish in an afternoon.

Question 5

What about HIPAA and compliance?

Accepted Answer

MintMCP is SOC 2 Type II audited and compliant with HIPAA standards, with a BAA available on request.

Question 6

Does MintMCP work with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Copilot?

Accepted Answer

Yes — MintMCP is an official Cursor partner and is built around Claude, so Claude Desktop and Claude Code are tested first. It also works with GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Windsurf, and any other MCP-compatible client.
