One front door for MCP, with no local setup required. It’s provisioned to every employee via Okta SSO, and connecting a tool is mostly “click Connect, then Add to MCP Client” for Claude Code, Cursor, and others.

Centralized policy and auditing are strong. Access is controlled per connector, and Trace’s cloud integration intentionally routes tool calls through a Runlayer Agent Account so that both the agent’s policies and the user’s policies apply. The audit trail also clearly records which agent acted.

It also supports hosted agents on a schedule.

I like the way skills can be distributed as plugins. Our data-analytics project publishes its blessed domain skills as a Runlayer plugin, so anyone who’s connected gets the same governed context. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Agents have a 15-minute runtime cap, so we had to plan around it for heavier queries. Scheduled agents run using their creator’s OAuth access, which we accepted as a trade-off. In some workflows, we intentionally made Runlayer “preferred, not required” because the operator toolkit removed mandatory Runlayer onboarding—people already had working routes in place.
