Kaiva Bridge or Speakeasy Gram

Checked 15 Oct 2026, from each product's own docs and pricing pages.

Gram is now the open-source project behind Speakeasy's AI control plane, which builds MCP servers from OpenAPI documents and TypeScript functions, connects existing and internal MCP servers, and is made for companies rolling out AI agents across many teams and for API companies shipping an MCP server to their customers. Kaiva Bridge is a managed MCP cloud platform with published Free and Pro plans that turns an API, a database, a spreadsheet or documents into an MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other clients. Choose Speakeasy for a company-wide rollout, a server on your own domain rebuilt from CI, custom TypeScript tools or a self-hosted deployment. Choose Kaiva Bridge when your sources include databases, GraphQL, spreadsheets or documents, or when you want to start on a self-serve plan.

What	Speakeasy	Kaiva Bridge
What it is	SpeakeasySpeakeasy's AI control plane: a platform for rolling out AI agents and MCP servers across a company, built around an MCP gateway. Gram is the open-source project behind it, and getgram.ai now redirects to ai.speakeasy.com.	Kaiva BridgeA managed MCP cloud platform. You connect a source, Bridge builds the tools from it and serves the MCP server.
What it connects	SpeakeasyOpenAPI documents (3.0 is upgraded to 3.1 on upload), TypeScript functions, remote MCP servers by URL, MCP servers inside a private network through an outbound tunnel, and third-party servers from a catalog.	Kaiva BridgeREST APIs from an OpenAPI 3.x or Swagger 2.0 spec, a cURL command or a Postman collection (v2.0 or v2.1); GraphQL APIs (their queries); Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB and SQL Server databases (read-only); CSV spreadsheets; documents (PDF, Word, PNG, JPEG, text and Markdown); and existing remote MCP servers.
How you build a server	SpeakeasyUpload an OpenAPI document in the dashboard or push it with the CLI, for example from CI. Every operation becomes a tool and each push is a new deployment. Custom tools are TypeScript functions.	Kaiva BridgeConnect the source in the console, with the CLI (npx @kaiva/bridge push) or from your AI client through the Kaiva Bridge connector, then choose which tools to switch on. No server code to write.
How you run it	SpeakeasySpeakeasy runs built servers on serverless infrastructure. A self-hosted deployment is offered, and the Speakeasy CLI can generate a standalone TypeScript server that you run yourself.	Kaiva BridgeKaiva runs it. When you publish, the server is live at an address on api.kaiv.ai, over Streamable HTTP.
Sign-in for AI clients	SpeakeasyOAuth with your own identity provider or with Speakeasy as the authorization server, which handles client registration. Servers can also accept API keys or bearer tokens.	Kaiva BridgeOAuth 2.1 sign-in with a Kaiva account on every plan, so Claude and ChatGPT need no key, or a gateway key limited to the servers you pick.
AI clients	SpeakeasyClaude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, Copilot, Codex and other MCP clients, with an install page per server and plugins for the Claude Code, Cursor and Codex marketplaces.	Kaiva BridgeClaude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code and other MCP clients, with steps for each on the server's Connect tab.
Pricing	SpeakeasyThe pricing page lists one plan, Enterprise, with tailored pricing. Product pages offer a free sign-up (Deploy for free).	Kaiva BridgeFree: 10 servers and 200,000 tool calls a month, no card. Pro: $19 a month for unlimited servers and 1,000,000 tool calls, then $0.04 per 1,000 calls. Enterprise by contract.
Open source	SpeakeasyYes, AGPL-3.0, at github.com/speakeasy-api/gram. Speakeasy also runs it as a service.	Kaiva BridgeThe CLI is open source (MIT). The platform is not.
Where it runs	SpeakeasySpeakeasy's cloud, at an address on your own domain once you verify one, or self-hosted in your cloud or on premises.	Kaiva BridgeKaiva's managed cloud. A source must be reachable on the public internet: Bridge refuses private and internal addresses.
Team features	SpeakeasySSO, directory sync, roles down to the tool, guardrails on tool calls, a device agent for managed machines, and an audit trail.	Kaiva BridgeOn every plan, per-tool switches and a log of every call. On Pro, SSO, approval before chosen calls and alerts.

Which to choose

Choose Speakeasy Gram if

You are an API company shipping an official MCP server to your customers on your own domain, regenerated from your OpenAPI document on every push from CI.
You need tools with custom logic and want to write them as TypeScript functions on the same platform.
You are rolling out AI agents across a company and want one gateway for every MCP server, with SSO, directory sync, device agents and plugin marketplaces.
Your APIs or MCP servers sit inside a private network: Speakeasy's tunnel agent dials out, so no inbound access is needed.
You need to self-host the platform, or want its source code under AGPL-3.0.

Choose Kaiva Bridge if

Your data is in a Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB or SQL Server database, a GraphQL API, a spreadsheet or a set of documents, as well as or instead of a REST API.
You want to start on a published self-serve plan: Free includes 10 servers and 200,000 tool calls a month with no card, and Pro is $19 a month.
Your API has no OpenAPI spec, but you have a cURL command or a Postman collection.
You want database tools that cannot change data: every query runs in a read-only transaction.
You want to create and manage servers from inside your AI client through the Kaiva Bridge connector.
You want a coding agent to create a server from a public API spec with no account (the spec's GET operations, for 72 hours), and claim it into your workspace later.
