About
Palma.ai, founded in 2025 in San Francisco (remote-first, CEO based in Berlin), is an enterprise governance and access-control platform for AI agents built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It gives every employee and agent a single governed connector to the tools they are entitled to across assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot, enforces identity-based (Entra/Okta/OIDC) and parameter-level policy on tool calls, requires human approval for high-risk actions and produces a tamper-evident audit trail.
