Dedalus API

One API.
Every model.

A unified, model-agnostic gateway that routes to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and more. Add MCP tools from our marketplace with a single parameter.

How the API works

Your app talks to one endpoint. We handle authentication, provider routing, MCP tool execution, and streaming -- all behind a single OpenAI-compatible interface.

Dedalus Auth

Your secrets never leave your machine

DAuth is our managed authorization system. Remote MCP servers use your local credentials without ever seeing them -- credentials are isolated in a sealed execution boundary.

Zero secret leakage

Credentials are encrypted client-side and decrypted only inside a sealed execution boundary. Your code never sees raw secrets.

Sender-constrained tokens

Demonstrating Proof-of-Possession (DPoP) binds tokens cryptographically to the client. A stolen token is useless without the private key.

Networkless execution

Credential decryption and API calls happen entirely within an isolated enclave. Raw secrets never traverse the network.

Lifecycle of a request

Every API call follows the same five-stage pipeline. Click a stage to see what happens under the hood.

Authenticate

Validate API key, check org status, load tier limits and rate quotas.

Route

Select the target provider, map model parameters, apply BYOK overrides if present.

Execute tools

Resolve MCP slugs, establish server connections, run tool calls server-side.

Stream

SSE stream incremental deltas back to the client as they are generated.

Respond

Meter token usage, emit rate-limit headers, return the final structured response.
