# Jentic Jentic is the sovereign operating layer for enterprise AI agents: it gives agents the context and control to work safely across a business, from API assessment to production deployment. Jentic also maintains the largest open catalog of standardized, agent-ready API specifications (the Jentic API Directory, 10,000+ APIs) and open-source tools for scoring, executing, and orchestrating API access for agents. Built on open standards: OpenAPI, Arazzo, and MCP. For enterprises: governed agent deployment, API readiness assessment, sandbox-to-production. For developers and agents: open tools and the directory, usable today via the links below. ## For agents: use Jentic now - Remote MCP server (https://docs.jentic.com/guides/mcp/remote-mcp/): connect via MCP to search APIs, load execution details, and execute operations. Auth: OAuth 2.0 PKCE or Bearer key (format ak_*). - Get an API key (https://app.jentic.com/sign-up): sign up and create an agent API key. Env var: JENTIC_AGENT_API_KEY. - Python SDK quickstart (https://docs.jentic.com/getting-started/quickstart/): pip install jentic. Async pattern: search, load, execute. ## Product overview Everything You Need To Deploy AI That Works In The Real World Jentic provides the missing layer between APIs and AI. It enables secure integration, scalable workflows, and governed execution from day one. ### Three Pillars **Connect Internal Systems Securely** Ingest and enrich your internal APIs. Manage access, authentication, and execution from a single control layer. **Explore, Map, And Run Agent Workflows** Capture successful agent behavior as deterministic workflows. Test in a secure sandbox, then run them in production with confidence. **Stay In Control As You Scale AI** Enforce policies, manage credentials, and gain full observability over how agents act across your infrastructure. ## How it works How Jentic Works: From APIs To Automation Transform your disconnected APIs to reliable, production-grade AI automation. Step 1: Get Your APIs AI-Ready Agents fail in production because APIs and workflows are not designed for autonomous execution. Step 2: Safely Test Agent Behaviour In A Sandbox Use a secure, simulated environment to explore how agents interact with your real APIs. This allows you to test safely without putting production at risk. Step 3: Capture, Validate, And Standardise Workflows Successful agent runs are turned into deterministic, reusable workflows using Arazzo. You get the discovery power of AI with structure and control. Step 4: Deploy With Confidence Run validated workflows in production with managed credentials, enforced policy, and full observability. ## Jentic Mini (self-hosted) 10,000+ APIs. Zero credential exposure. The free, self-hosted integration layer for OpenClaw and other AI agents ### What is Jentic Mini? Building agents that call real APIs is painful. You end up hardcoding auth, juggling secrets in prompts, writing bespoke glue code for every service, and hoping nothing leaks. Jentic Mini fixes this. It's a free, self-hosted API execution layer that sits between your AI agents (OpenClaw, NemoClaw, and others) and the outside world. Your agent says what it wants to do. Jentic Mini handles the how: finding the right API, injecting credentials at runtime, and brokering the request. Secrets never touch the agent. Ever. ## API Scorecard Unlock AI Transformation With Confidence Check your AI Readiness using our scorecard and pinpoint the issues preventing your AI initiatives from scaling. AI ready APIs are essential. The Scorecard evaluates your APIs across six dimensions of quality, security, and semantics, identifies what needs improvement, and gives you a clear roadmap for building safer, more interpretable, agent ready APIs.

It provides a unified platform to securely integrate internal systems, safely explore agent behavior, and convert successful AI interactions into governed, production-grade workflows. **How is Jentic different from agent frameworks or MCP-based tools?** Most agent frameworks focus on orchestration but stop short of enterprise requirements. Jentic adds the missing execution layer: centralized authentication, policy enforcement, deterministic workflows, and full observability. MCP is just one of many interaction modes Jentic supports — rather than letting agents operate freely in production, Jentic ensures only validated, auditable workflows are deployed. **How does Jentic make AI agents safe to use in production?** Jentic separates exploration from execution. Agents are first tested in a secure sandbox that simulates real production APIs without risk. Successful agent behavior is then captured, validated, and converted into deterministic workflows using the Arazzo open standard, ensuring predictable, repeatable execution under strict governance. **What is Arazzo and why does Jentic use it?** Arazzo is an open standard from the OpenAPI Initiative that defines sequences of API calls as reusable, portable workflows. Jentic uses Arazzo to capture successful agent behavior and convert it into deterministic, auditable workflows. This ensures your AI automation is vendor-neutral, testable, and built on industry-standard specifications rather than proprietary formats. **What types of systems and APIs does Jentic support?** Jentic supports over 1,500 popular public SaaS API integrations, enabling easy integration with the tools your business already uses. It also ingests, enriches, and standardizes your internal APIs using OpenAPI and integrates with existing IAM, secrets managers, and observability tooling without requiring point-to-point integrations. **How does Jentic help platform teams govern AI at scale?** Jentic provides built-in governance for AI execution, including role-based access control, centralized policy enforcement, managed credentials, and full audit logs. Platform teams gain complete visibility into what agents can access, what actions they take, and why — without slowing down delivery teams. **Is Jentic vendor-neutral and compatible with existing infrastructure?** Yes. Jentic is fully vendor-neutral and built on open standards like OpenAPI and Arazzo. It works with any agent, model, or cloud provider and integrates with your existing security, identity, and observability stack. Your workflows, business logic, and IP always remain under your control. ## Contact Questions, partnerships, or contributions — reach out via https://jentic.com/contact or email hello@jentic.com.
