Brewing Enterprise Grade Open Source Solutions

Production-Ready Software for the AI Agent Era

At OSS Cafe, we design developer-first, secure, and highly scalable building blocks. From local model access proxy layers to interactive client-side interfaces, we power autonomous systems with confidence.

The Prism Suite

Robust Tools for Intelligent Agents

A unified collection of production-grade libraries, frameworks, and tools designed to secure, monitor, and stream interactive states for modern AI agent integrations.

Stable

Prism MCP Gateway

An enterprise control plane and policy-enforcing reverse proxy for Model Context Protocol (MCP) traffic. Securely manage connection scopes, authenticate client agents, apply Cedar policies to arguments, and monitor metrics in real time.

  • Zero-Zero Security: Fine-grained Cedar policy enforcement.
  • Seamless Routing: Intelligently bridges stdio, SSE, and WebSocket.
  • Enterprise Auth: OIDC, JWT, Okta, and Entra ID integration.
v0.1 Spec

Prism Generative UI

A portable, framework-agnostic package pairing standard React frontends with .NET backends to stream live interactive components, structured tool outputs, and shared application states using the open AG-UI protocol.

  • Minimal Setup: Implement a full UI agent stream in under 15 lines of code.
  • Standard Compliance: Strict implementation of the AG-UI protocol events.
  • Postgres Persistence: Thread-state tracking built on EF Core.
Coming Soon

AI-Driven Workflows

A powerful orchestration engine for multi-agent systems and stateful long-running workflows. Easily implement complex decision trees, human-in-the-loop approval triggers, and event-based execution pipelines.

  • Stateful FSMs: Resilient agent runs that survive system restarts.
  • Human-in-the-loop: Native pause-and-resume workflows.
  • Event broker: High-speed internal message passing.
Control Plane

Prism MCP Gateway

A secure reverse proxy and control plane for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. Regulate tool access, authenticate agents, and audit logs.

Securing Agent-to-Server Communications

Intelligent agents need access to tools to execute tasks, but giving an LLM raw terminal or database access poses critical security risks. Prism MCP Gateway acts as a secure boundary, evaluating every tool request against local rules.

It intercepts standard stdio or SSE messages, decodes the tool arguments, runs them through the fast Cedar policy engine, and blocks unauthorized behavior before it reaches your backend systems.

  • 🔒 cedar Policy Control: Create rule parameters limiting file writes, command tags, or network queries.
  • 🔌 Transport Bridges: Bridges clients running over stdio, SSE, or WebSocket protocols.
  • Sub-millisecond Overhead: Ultra-fast routing pipeline built on native ASP.NET Core engines.

AI-Driven Workflows

A stateful orchestration engine purpose-built for long-running, multi-agent systems with human-in-the-loop controls.

🔄

Stateful FSM Engine

Each agent workflow is modelled as a finite state machine. Runs survive crashes, restarts, and deployments — state is persisted and automatically recovered from a durable store.

🙋

Human-in-the-Loop

Workflows can pause mid-execution and surface interactive approval steps to human operators — payment approvals, document reviews, or policy escalations — before continuing automatically.

Event-Driven Broker

A high-throughput internal message bus connects workflow steps, spawning parallel sub-agents and coordinating results back into a single coherent execution graph.

🌐

Prism Suite Native

Deeply integrated with Prism MCP Gateway for tool gating and Prism Generative UI for surfacing approval widgets — the full stack works as one connected system.

AI-Driven Workflows is planned for release in Q4 2026. Watch the repository for early previews and design documents.

Trigger Agent Actions

Interact with the simulation by choosing a prompt. The agent uses the AG-UI protocol to stream text and execute custom tool calls, rendering custom interactive UI widgets inside the chat.

Core Values

Why OSS Cafe?

We believe that security, transport protocols, and interactive agent interfaces are critical infrastructure. They belong in the public domain.

⚖️

No Open-Core Traps

Every core feature is built fully in the open under permissive MIT licenses. We don't gate basic security, caching, or resilience modules behind enterprise-only pricing models.

🔌

Hexagonal Portability

Our code structures rely heavily on clean architectural boundaries. Swap out databases, message queues, and client runtimes without rewriting business logic.

🛠️

Developer-Centric UX

We gate release candidates on how fast a developer can boot and run them. If it takes longer than 15 minutes to run an end-to-end example, we don't ship it.
