Use Cases

One Control Plane, Every Industry

Peta is the control plane for MCP: managed runtime, secure vault, policy-based approvals, and full audit trail in one layer. From startups to healthcare and finance, Peta handles MCP server lifecycle, keeps credentials hidden, enforces policies, and logs every tool call.

Startup Engineering Team

Ship agents to staging and production with zero credential sprawl and human guardrails.

10–50 devsStaging vs prodShort-lived tokens

Snapshot

Who

Growing engineering teams (10–50 people) who share staging and production environments.

Missions

Keep assistants pulling logs, comparing schemas, and drafting deployment steps while the gateway enforces where they can run.

Outcome

Secrets stay in Vault, assistants use short-lived tokens, and every production change gets a quick thumbs-up from the right person.

Signals

Console shows per-environment audit and rate limits while drift alerts flag unexpected production access.

Control Plane in Action

Managed Runtime

Peta manages MCP server lifecycle with lazy loading, auto-retry, and automatic recovery — servers start on-demand and shut down after idle periods.

Secure Vault

Deploy keys and API secrets stay in Peta Vault; agents only ever use short-lived service tokens.

Policies & Approvals

Staging and production isolated by role scopes, tool allowlists, and Desk approval rules for schema updates and deploys.

Audit Trail

Console captures per-environment audit and rate limits; drift alerts flag unexpected production access.

Playbook

1. Set bright lines in Console

Define staging and production spaces in Console with per-role tool allowlists and rate limits.

2. Hide credentials in Vault

Swap every .env secret for a Vault entry so MCP calls inject credentials server-side.

3. Add gentle guardrails with Desk

Send schema updates, deploys, and destructive queries through Desk so risky steps always get human context.

Spotlight scenario：A log triage assistant spots a production spike, drafts a rollback, and routes it to Desk. Gateway keeps credentials server-side, the on-call lead approves with one click, and Console captures the whole story for tomorrow's retro.
