The honest brief

Gram

Curates and composes business-level tools from your OpenAPI or TypeScript instead of exposing raw API endpoints, so agents get cleaner toolsets.

  • Open source (AGPL-3.0)
  • Hosted MCP servers, no infra
  • OpenAPI and TypeScript sources
  • Built-in OAuth 2.1 proxy
  • Tool curation, not raw APIs
  • Still in public beta
  • Usage-based costs at scale
  • Tied to Speakeasy ecosystem
  • Newer, smaller community

Toolhouse

Bundles the agent runtime and MCP tooling behind one API, so you skip wiring the infrastructure together yourself.

  • Deploy agents as APIs in one command
  • 1,000+ MCP tool integrations built in
  • Built-in RAG, memory, and code execution
  • Free tier includes OpenAI model usage
  • Free Sandbox capped at 50 agent runs/month
  • Vendor-hosted; less control than self-hosting
  • Younger platform with a smaller ecosystem
