The safety layer between AI agents and your database
Companies are connecting AI coding agents like Cursor and Claude directly to their databases — where one wrong command can delete data or leak customer records. Midplane sits in between and controls what each agent is allowed to do: it blocks dangerous queries, hides sensitive data, and keeps a record of everything the agent touches. It’s open source, and runs either as a hosted service or on your own servers.
