Monospace from Directus

Monospace from Directus: Data integration platform that provides a unified governed API layer for live read-write access.

Monospace sits between enterprise data and the apps, people, and agents that build on it. It unifies databases, REST APIs, and SaaS systems into a single governed API layer without requiring data migration or duplication. The platform introspects schemas and queries in real time while enforcing permissions down to the row and field level. It provides dedicated identities, limits, and audit logs for every caller, including AI agents connecting through an MCP server. The tool is designed for developers and organizations that need secure, live data access for applications and internal tools.
