The unified backend for every app your team builds.
Bridge fragmented content and data sources into a centralized hub for all builders and AI agents in your organization.
[ How It Works ]
From data source to deployed application, without the integration overhead.
Step 01
Connect data sources
Register any combination of databases, REST APIs, or third-party systems. No migration, no data duplication, no vendor lock-in on storage.
Step 02
Define access
Set row-level and column-level permissions centrally. Assign roles to teams, AI agents, and applications. Get a complete audit trail across every source.
Step 03
Build on top immediately
Auto-generated REST APIs and fully-typed SDKs for developers. A visual studio and AI co-pilot for business users. MCP for AI agents. All within the guardrails you define.
Step 04
Register your app
Register apps with Monospace for visibility on who has access to which system data and content for easier audits and smoother access processes.
[ Who It's For ]
Built for every stakeholder.
Developer
Build faster without the integration overhead.
Register a data source and receive a fully-formed REST API and MCP server immediately. No manual schema mapping. No bespoke connectors. Build applications, not plumbing.
Platform Team
Govern who builds on what - from one place.
Replace scattered access policies with a single governance surface. Monitor access requests, enforce permissions, and maintain a complete audit trail without touching each underlying source.
Business Users
Innovate on enterprise data without dependencies.
Use the visual studio and embedded AI co-pilot to query data, build applications, and scale solutions without needing to understand database architecture.
Single access point for every data source
Real-time query execution: no data staging, no sync lag
Full audit trail across systems and users
Zero data extraction:
your data stays where it lives
