10 PI Mcp Extension alternatives, by popularity
-
OpenShell is a runtime that runs AI agents in isolated sandboxes and enforces declared policies on file access, system calls and network connections, injecting credentials only for approved endpoints; it ships a CLI, gateway and SDKs.
- More widely used (Gid Score 78 vs 47)
- Growing fast: usage up 328% in 30 days
-
An AI gateway and Python SDK that calls 100+ model APIs through one OpenAI-style interface, with spend tracking, budgets, rate limits, fallbacks, guardrails and logging.
- Works with local models
- Bring your own API key
- More widely used (Gid Score 76 vs 47)
-
NemoClaw is a reference stack and CLI that installs and runs agents such as OpenClaw, Hermes and LangChain Deep Agents Code inside NVIDIA OpenShell sandboxes, with guided onboarding, managed inference, network policies and state persistence. It is an alpha project.
- Works with local models
- Bring your own API key
- More widely used (Gid Score 68 vs 47)
-
An open-source platform for tracing, evaluating and debugging LLM apps and agents: every model and tool call with its cost and latency, prompt management, datasets and evaluations.
- Bring your own API key
- More widely used (Gid Score 67 vs 47)
-
Turns websites into clean Markdown or structured data for AI agents: scrape, crawl, map and search the web through one API.
- More widely used (Gid Score 65 vs 47)
-
Secure cloud sandboxes where AI agents run code, use a filesystem and terminal, and browse, isolated from your own machines.
- More widely used (Gid Score 62 vs 47)
- Growing fast: usage up 32% in 30 days
-
Compresses tool outputs, logs, files, RAG chunks and conversation history before they reach the model, so agents use fewer tokens. Runs locally as a library, a proxy, an agent wrapper or an MCP server; originals stay cached and can be retrieved on demand.
- More widely used (Gid Score 57 vs 47)
- Growing fast: usage up 67% in 30 days
-
Connects AI agents to 1,000+ apps and APIs with managed authentication, tool search and a sandboxed workbench, so agents can take actions in tools like GitHub, Slack and Gmail.
- More widely used (Gid Score 56 vs 47)
- Growing fast: usage up 34% in 30 days
-
Skill for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and Gemini CLI: typing /graphify maps a project's code, docs, PDFs, images and video into a knowledge graph the agent queries instead of searching through files. Code is parsed locally with tree-sitter, without an LLM, embeddings or a vector store, and every edge is marked as extracted from the source or inferred. Graphify Cloud keeps the graph live and adds PR review and formal verification.
- Works with local models
- Bring your own API key
-
A memory layer for AI agents and apps: it extracts facts from conversations, stores them and retrieves the relevant ones later, so an agent remembers users and past work across sessions.
