Celigo launches MCP management platform for enterprise AI agents

Celigo launched an MCP platform to govern AI agents’ access to enterprise tools with per-tool approvals and traceability.

Model Context Protocol, or MCP, has become a standard for connecting AI assistants and agents to business systems and services. Anthropic PBC introduced MCP in 2024 as an open-source standard often described as a USB-C port for AI. It acts as a universal access point for AI models and agents to connect to databases, local files, search engines, business data and application programming interfaces. MCP servers expose tools that allow agents to interact with controls such as looking up customer information in a customer management system, checking invoices in an enterprise resource planning system, updating an order status in a parcel tracking system or working through a ticket on a service desk.

Celigo said such access can create security and access problems if agents have permissions they should not have or take actions outside their role. AI agents can also hallucinate, or make mistakes with little supervision, and can be hijacked by malicious actors, the company said.

“AI assistants and agents are a new class of actors in the enterprise and the old model of shared credentials and broad access was never designed for them,” said Chief Product Officer Matt Graney. “Enterprises need to know who is behind every AI request, what it is authorized to do and what actions it has taken.”

Celigo MCP Management is designed to give IT a single governed path to lock down agents and keep them within their domains, the company said. Graney said every call traces back to a real person, access is approved one tool at a time and the platform runs and controls the tools, so teams can see which system an AI has touched and maintain transparency.

The company said the management interface connects MCP servers to grounded company knowledge and more than 1,000 apps. Teams can control who uses which tools through an MCP Gateway and discover every MCP server through a registry.

“Celigo’s MCP was the missing piece. It’s the layer in the middle connecting to all our third-party tools in the cloud. Now we get the start, the middle, and the end in one dashboard,” said Nidecker SA Head of IT Antoine Millet.

Editor's Summary

Celigo launched an MCP Management platform that gives IT and security teams a central way to approve tools, trace AI requests and control agent access to enterprise systems. The product arrives as MCP-based agents take on tasks across business applications, raising the need for per-tool permissions and auditability.
