System Overview
How Everything Connects
Peta is MCP infrastructure: a control-plane runtime with encrypted vault, zero-trust gateway, granular access policies, and human-in-the-loop approvals.
Zero Credential ExposureOur Security Guarantee
Zero credential exposure: Clients use gateway tokens only. Real API keys stay encrypted in Vault and are injected server-side during execution.
Component Details
Inside Peta: MCP Vault, Console, and Desk
MCP vault and gateway, access policies, and human approvals working together.
Peta Core
Peta Core is the MCP vault and zero-trust gateway for your agents. It keeps external credentials encrypted in Vault, issues short-lived agent tokens instead of sharing API keys, validates identity, policy, and human-approval rules on every MCP request, and orchestrates managed MCP servers with autoscaling warm pools and health checks.
Zero-Trust Gateway
Validates identity, policy, and HITL rules before routing any MCP call
Managed MCP Runtime
Transform REST APIs into MCP servers, upload skill packages as namespaced tools, and manage lifecycle automatically
Vault & Secret Injection
External credentials stay encrypted server-side; only Peta service tokens reach clients
Peta Console
Peta Console is the policy and audit plane for agents. It lets you define who or which agent can access which MCP tools, in which environment, and which actions require human approval. Every request through the gateway is logged so you can trace usage, costs, and approvals across your MCP stack.
Team & AI Management
Grant precise tool access and approval rules per tenant, workspace, or agent
Service Token Lifecycle
Issue, rotate, and revoke gateway-only Peta service tokens without touching external keys
Live Observability
Track usage, costs, and audit trails across every MCP operation
Peta Desk
Peta Desk is the human-in-the-loop desk where agent requests become clear, reviewable approval tasks. When an agent wants to perform a high-risk action, Desk shows what it is trying to do and why, so humans can approve, deny, or modify the request from a familiar desktop experience -- without ever exposing raw credentials.
Works Everywhere
Native desktop experience on macOS, Windows, and Linux
Human-in-the-Loop Controls
Route risky actions for approval; AI suggests, humans decide
Auto Client Configuration
Inject Peta service tokens and MCP configs into ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more without manual JSON edits
