The short version

A team workspace, not an infrastructure layer.

MintMCP sits between your AI clients and your tools as a governance gateway, with an agent monitor for coding assistants. It is built for IT and engineering leaders securing AI at scale. Faction is the workspace itself: connect HubSpot, Notion, Asana, and the rest of your stack once, organize access by team, and chat with AI that already has context. Marketing, ops, and go-to-market teams use it without writing any setup or wiring anything together.
