What is this?
APIblaze is a serverless MCP and API gateway launched via Show HN by jayjaychicago, positioning itself as a feature-complete platform for publishing agent tools to the internet with built-in authorization and governance. The launch arrives amid explosive enterprise MCP adoption (Datadog 22x, Figma 75%, Atlassian 400%, Salesforce 6x growth in 2026) and a rapidly evolving spec (March/June/July 2026 releases including Enterprise-Managed Authorization). The market is crowded: MuleSoft, Microsoft Azure API Management, agentgateway.dev, Airbyte, and others are all shipping MCP gateway products. The web snippets confirm the category dynamics but do not yet establish APIblaze's traction, differentiation, or whether 'default' is plausible versus aspirational.
Why it matters to Scott
APIblaze is a serverless MCP gateway with built-in authorization and governance — the exact pattern Scott's Company AI Gateway concept, Two Leashes framework, and Decision Authority Infrastructure argue for. An external builder independently shipping a product that embodies 'governed single route with identity controls, pre-model PII protection, and deterministic execution gating' is a dated-receipts moment for Scott's canon. It also directly relates to his own MCP IP Wiki connector (dev:project.mcp-ip-wiki) and single-tenant appliance work.
