Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to write code or manage servers?
No. Connect enterprise APIs, SaaS applications, remote MCP servers, and file storage through the UI—no Python, TypeScript, Docker, or Kubernetes required. If you can fill out a form, you can run an enterprise MCP gateway.
How is Vendia different from Obot?
Connect your existing systems through the UI and we manage hosting, uptime, scaling, and compliance. Ship AI agents, not infrastructure. Obot is open-source software you deploy and operate on your own Kubernetes cluster.
Can I use Vendia alongside Obot?
Yes. Proxy any remote MCP server—including servers Obot manages—alongside your enterprise APIs, SaaS applications, and file storage through a single endpoint, with unified governance and one audit trail.
How long does setup take?
Under 5 minutes. Connect an enterprise API, a SaaS application, a remote MCP server, or file storage—all through the UI. No deployment pipeline, no infrastructure provisioning.
Does my data leave my infrastructure?
No. A zero-copy architecture keeps your data in the regions and storage systems you already control. We manage access and routing—never replicating or storing your source data.
What about audit logging and compliance?
Every AI interaction is automatically captured in immutable ledger-based receipts—which agent accessed what file, API, or tool, with full timestamps. No export config, no custom logging setup. It works from the moment you connect your first data source.
Which AI clients are supported?
Any MCP-compatible client: Claude, ChatGPT, Mistral AI, Cursor, VS Code, and custom agents supporting the Model Context Protocol.
Is there a free tier?
Yes. Free tier includes: 2 API connections, 2 MCP servers, 3 S3 buckets, 100K calls/month.
