Gram — The MCP Cloud Platform

Gram is an MCP cloud platform developed by Speakeasy, positioned as an organization-level AI Control Plane for unified management of agents, MCP servers, and skills.

Core Capabilities#

MCP Server Creation & Hosting#

• Define tools from OpenAPI specs (3.0.x / 3.1.x) or TypeScript functions (Gram Functions Framework), auto-orchestrated into hostable MCP servers
• Serverless deployment with no cold starts, auto-scaling, and custom domain support (e.g., mcp.{your-company}.com)
• Versioned CI/CD: commit-triggered builds, PR preview deployments

Security & Compliance#

• Out-of-the-box OAuth 2.1 with DCR, BYO Authorization, PKCE; auto-injection even when upstream doesn't support OAuth
• SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified
• RBAC (server/toolset/tool level) with full audit logging

Unified Control Plane#

• Organization-level MCP server management
• Sub-directory organization structure
• Zero-config access policies

Observability#

• Real-time logs, session history
• Distributed tracing (OpenTelemetry + Jaeger)
• Latency/error rate/throughput metrics and usage analytics

Developer Experience#

• @gram-ai/functions TypeScript SDK with chained API for tool/toolset definition
• MCP Inspector for local debugging
• IDE integrations: .claude, .cursor/skills, .codex/skills, .opencode/skills
• Pre-built SaaS connectors: GitHub, Slack, Notion, Gmail, Linear, etc.

MCP Apps#

• Build and deploy MCP-based applications (see functions/ directory in repo)

Typical Use Cases#

• Remote MCP server hosting: Host one or more remote MCP servers on custom domains
• In-app chat enhancement: Expose internal/3rd-party API context via tools for AI chat
• AI workflow integration: Add data sources to Zapier, N8N, and similar platforms
• Organization-level MCP governance: Manage and protect MCP servers across the organization
• SaaS connectors: One-click pre-built integrations

Installation & Quick Start#

Option 1: Gram Functions (TypeScript scaffolding)

npm create @gram-ai/function@latest
cd my_function
pnpm run dev
npm run build
npm run push

Example function:

import { Gram } from "@gram-ai/functions";
import * as z from "zod/mini";

const gram = new Gram().tool({
  name: "add",
  description: "Add two numbers together",
  inputSchema: { a: z.number(), b: z.number() },
  async execute(ctx, input) {
    return ctx.json({ sum: input.a + input.b });
  },
});

export default gram;

Option 2: Gram CLI

curl -fsSL https://go.getgram.ai/cli.sh | bash
gram auth

Hosted platform: Manage via https://app.getgram.ai/ Web Dashboard after registration.

Architecture Overview#

pnpm workspace monorepo with separated frontend/backend. Backend: Golang + Goa design-first framework + Temporal workflow engine, PostgreSQL for persistence, OpenTelemetry observability pipeline (Jaeger for local tracing, ClickHouse for local analytics). Frontend: TypeScript + Vite + Tailwind CSS v4. SDK generation via Speakeasy (self-produced), billing via Polar usage-based billing, LLM gateway through OpenRouter. CI/CD: GitHub Actions + GoReleaser with cosign v3 signing. Local development uses compose.yml for dependency services with mise + mprocs for process management.

Key Modules#

Unconfirmed Information#

• Pricing details: Polar usage-based billing, but specific free/paid tiers require login or sales contact
• Feature differences between open-source (AGPL-3.0) and hosted SaaS not fully clarified
• MCP Apps feature (ref SEP-1865) detailed docs and availability status pending
• Pulse MCP (pulsemcp.com) OFFICIAL PARTNER collaboration model pending
• glint/ and evaluation/ module purposes pending
