What it does
A tool-calling platform exposing 600+ integrations to agentic IDEs or custom agents, either as direct function calls or through a unified MCP server, with multi-tenant auth, granular permissions and dynamic discovery so an agent finds the tool it needs rather than carrying all of them. The permission model is the whole product: grant read where read suffices, and keep an audit trail of which user's authority an action ran under. Apache-2.0.

aci FAQ
- Is aci free?
- aci itself is free, but it needs an API key for an external AI service. That service charges separately, though some have a free tier.
- Do I need to install anything or write code to use aci?
- It connects to an MCP-capable AI app such as Claude. It does not run on its own.
- Does aci work on a phone?
- No. It needs a computer.
- Can I use aci commercially?
- The licence is Apache-2.0, which permits commercial use. Conditions such as keeping the copyright notice still apply, so read the licence text before shipping it inside something.
