Mintive

Key facts: Mintive, formerly MintMCP, treats each AI agent like an employee. Each one gets its own identity, credentials and only the access its job needs, instead of borrowing a person's login. An MCP gateway lets IT approve which tools teams can use, an LLM gateway sets models and budgets per team, and Mint Guard screens calls for prompt injection and leaked secrets. It works with Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot and Cursor. Customers listed on its site include Stability AI, Coursera, Braze and Eurostar, and it recently announced $11M in funding.

Plans: Pricing is by quote, based on team size and active users.

Best for: IT and security teams that keep saying no to agents because of access worries. Who should skip it: solo users with one agent and no shared credentials.

Pros

• An MCP gateway lets IT approve tools, and an LLM gateway sets models and budgets per team
• Mint Guard screens for prompt injection and leaked secrets
• Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot and Cursor

Watch out for

• Pricing is by quote, so small teams cannot self-serve a fixed price
• Adds a governance layer, which means setup and policy work up front
• Best value for organisations, less so for solo users
