BlackLake Cloud
The AI control plane your team can use today — with no infrastructure to run.
The hosted BlackLake control plane gives your team shared policies, a managed MCP gateway, approval delivery to email and mobile, a retained audit archive, and receipt verification at api.blacklake.systems — all without a database to manage or a process to keep alive.
What you get
Everything in local — plus the parts that need infrastructure.
Local BlackLake gives you the full control model: policy, approval, budget, cost, and signed receipts. Cloud adds the parts that require a server someone else manages — OAuth token handling, approval email delivery, long-term audit retention, and a verification endpoint your auditors can call without contacting you.
- →Policy, approval, budget, cost, and receipt model — identical to local
- →MCP gateway handles OAuth upstreams local cannot
- →Approval delivery to email and mobile push
- →Managed retention archive — no export pipeline to build
- →Compliance evidence packs available on request
- →Named support and SLA on Production tier
Cloud capabilities
Built to run without ops
Managed MCP gateway
Point your AI tools at the BlackLake cloud MCP endpoint. No local process to run, no bridge to restart. The gateway handles OAuth upstreams — Atlassian, Linear, Slack, Sentry, Notion — with token storage and refresh managed for you.
Hosted approval inbox
Approvals route to the console, to email, and to mobile push. Approve or reject with a single tap on your phone via magic-link — no VPN, no console login, no desktop required.
Audit retention archive
Evaluations, cost records, and audit events are retained with no ops burden. Managed archival to long-term storage. Export the full ledger at any time as signed NDJSON or CSV.
Receipt verification at api.blacklake.systems
The verify endpoint is public. Any auditor can paste a decision token and confirm the outcome — without workspace access, without contacting you. The chain speaks for itself.
Shared workspace for your team
Invite teammates. Shared policies, shared approval queues, per-user API keys, and per-user cost attribution. Coverage shows which actors each team member has routed through governance.
No infrastructure to run
No database to manage, no upgrade cadence to track, no backup runbook to write. The same policy, cost, and receipt model as local — without the ops burden.
Self-hosting
Local and self-hosted are real options.
If your environment is air-gapped, if procurement hasn’t approved a SaaS data-plane, or if you’re evaluating with very sensitive data — run npx blacklake serve on your own machine. The same policy, cost, and receipt model. You own the database, the upgrades, and the retention. Cloud is there when you’re ready.
