Why choose Vendia MCP Gateway over TrueFoundry
Vendia MCP Gateway is purpose-built for connecting enterprise data to AI agents through a managed platform. While TrueFoundry offers a MLOps suite, Vendia focuses exclusively on data connectivity and immutable audit trails without the infrastructure complexity.
Zero infrastructure management
Connect APIs, SaaS apps, MCP servers, and S3 through a UI. Governance, audit trails, and compliance logging included.
Data connectivity built
for AI agents
for AI agents
Connect agents to data where it lives. Upload OpenAPI specs for REST APIs, configure IAM for S3 buckets, register MCP servers by URL and auth. No data movement.
Managed platform vs.
self-hosted infrastructure
self-hosted infrastructure

Do I need a DevOps team for Vendia?
No. Vendia is fully managed—no clusters, no Helm charts, no add-ons to configure. Data admins configure APIs, connect SaaS applications, add remote MCP servers, manage file storage access, and monitor audit logs through the UI.
What if I need to deploy custom agents at scale?
Vendia provides MCP-compliant data access. For agent deployment infrastructure (training, serving, autoscaling), TrueFoundry offers complete MLOps capabilities. Many enterprises use both: Vendia for data connectivity, TrueFoundry for agent infrastructure.
What AI agents work with Vendia?
Any MCP-compatible client:
- AI Assistants: Claude, ChatGPT, Mistral AI, Gemini.
- Developer tools: Cursor, VS Code with MCP extensions.
- Custom agents: Any application supporting Model Context Protocol
- TrueFoundry-deployed agents: Connect via Vendia's MCP endpoint
Is there a free tier?
Yes. Free tier includes: 2 API connections, 2 MCP servers, 3 S3 buckets, 100K calls/month.
Do I need to write code with Vendia?
No. Vendia MCP Gateway is a managed platform with UI-based configuration. Connect S3 buckets, APIs, and MCP servers through point-and-click—no Python or TypeScript required.
How is Vendia different from FastMCP?
FastMCP is a framework for building custom MCP servers from scratch. Vendia is a fully managed gateway that connects your existing systems (S3, APIs, SaaS) to AI agents without code or infrastructure.
Can I use Vendia with FastMCP?
Yes. Vendia can proxy FastMCP servers. Build custom servers with FastMCP, then expose them through Vendia Gateway alongside API integrations, certified remote MCP servers, and S3 for unified governance.
How long does setup take with Vendia?
Under 5 minutes for typical configurations. Upload API specs, remote MCP servers, and connect S3 buckets through the UI—no deployment, no servers to configure.
Do I need a DevOps team for Vendia?
No. Vendia is fully managed with zero infrastructure to maintain. MCP admins can configure access controls, manage tool permissions, and monitor audit logs through the UI—no servers, no scaling configuration, no deployments to manage.
Does Vendia have audit logging?
Yes. Immutable receipts automatically track every AI interaction—which agent or user accessed what files, MCP tools, and APIs, along with timestamps and full operation details. Complete monitoring telemetry built-in, not custom-built.
