ScopeGate vs Composio

Composio ($29M Series A) is a broad AI agent integration platform offering 250+ pre-built connectors. It handles authentication, execution, and orchestration across many services. ScopeGate takes a deliberately narrower focus: it is a permission proxy layer for MCP endpoints, giving you granular control over what each agent can access without the complexity of a full integration platform.

Winner in this category · Tie

Where ScopeGate wins

  • Purpose-built permission layer — simpler mental model than a full integration platform

  • Cross-service revocation designed into the core architecture

Where Composio wins

  • 250+ pre-built integrations spanning REST, GraphQL, and MCP
  • Full execution and orchestration capabilities beyond just permission control

The verdict
