What is the Runlayer MCP Server?
The Runlayer MCP Server gives AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor direct access to Runlayer via 27 tools. AI enterprise control plane: manage MCP servers, skills, agents, and security policies via agents. Powered by the Vinkius - no API keys, no infrastructure, connect in under 2 minutes.
Built-in capabilities (27)
Tools for your AI Agents to operate Runlayer
Ask your AI agent "Show me all MCP servers registered in our organization and their security status" and get the answer without opening a single dashboard. With 27 tools connected to real Runlayer data, your agents reason over live information, cross-reference it with other MCP servers, and deliver insights you would spend hours assembling manually.
Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client. Powered by the Vinkius - your credentials never touch the AI model, every request is auditable. Connect in under two minutes.
Why teams choose Vinkius
One subscription gives you access to thousands of MCP servers - and you can deploy your own to the Vinkius Edge. Your AI agents only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure and security, zero maintenance.

What the Runlayer MCP Server unlocks
What you can do
Connect AI agents to the Runlayer Enterprise Control Plane for comprehensive MCP ecosystem management:
- Manage MCP Servers — register, inspect, update, and remove serverless MCP endpoints
- Manage Skills — create, assign, and version reusable agent capabilities
- Manage Agents — onboard AI agents (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, custom) with proper security guardrails
- Enforce Policies — define and audit security policies governing MCP access and agent permissions
- Audit Everything — retrieve complete audit trails of all MCP, skill, agent, and policy operations
- Manage API Keys — create, rotate, and revoke organization and personal API keys
- Run Security Scans — discover shadow AI, unauthorized MCP servers, and policy violations across your organization
- Monitor Organization Health — review member activity, server inventory, and security posture
How it works
1. Generate an Organization API Key from Runlayer dashboard (Settings > API Keys)
2. Configure your Runlayer host URL (your organization's Runlayer instance)
3. Ask your AI agent to manage servers, enforce policies, audit logs, or discover shadow AI
4. Natural language commands replace manual Runlayer dashboard operations
Who is this for?
Essential for IT security teams, AI governance officers, platform engineers, compliance managers, and enterprise architects deploying MCP at scale. Let AI agents handle continuous MCP server registration, policy enforcement, audit log review, API key rotation, and shadow AI discovery. Perfect for organizations managing 10+ MCP servers and agents who need to maintain security compliance, prevent unauthorized AI usage, and enable AI-driven infrastructure governance.
Frequently asked questions about the Runlayer MCP Server
Do I need a Runlayer enterprise subscription to use this MCP?
Yes, this MCP server requires an active Runlayer organization with API access. Runlayer is an enterprise-grade control plane, so you need a valid organizational subscription. Contact Runlayer sales to get started and obtain your organization API key.
Can this MCP server detect unauthorized AI usage (shadow AI)?
Yes! The run_mcp_sweep_scan tool initiates comprehensive shadow AI discovery across devices, detecting unauthorized MCP servers, OpenClaw installs, Skills, and agents. Results include policy violations and security risks across your organization's endpoints.
What types of AI agents does Runlayer support?
Runlayer supports Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code with Copilot, Windsurf, and custom AI agents. Each agent type can be registered with specific security policies, assigned MCP servers, and monitored through the audit trail. New agent types can be added as custom integrations.
