01 AI Gateway

European models, out of the box.

Your gateway comes with European models out of the box and speaks the OpenAI API. Existing tools and SDKs keep working, you only change the base URL.

OpenAI-compatible API

Drop-in for existing SDKs, frameworks and tools like n8n or IDE assistants. Swap base URL and key, done.

European models out of the box

Open-weight models for chat, coding, vision, embeddings and reranking, operated in Europe. Local models on-premise.

Open WebUI included

A chat interface for all employees, connected straight to your gateway. No more shadow AI.

Keys & permissions

Separate keys per team, application or agent, each with its allowed models. Revocable at any time.

Cost & budgets

Usage and cost per model, team and application in real time, with budgets and limits per team.

Switch models without code

A new model is better or cheaper? Switch in the gateway, your applications stay untouched.

Existing code, your endpoint Python · OpenAI SDK
import osfrom openai import OpenAI client = OpenAI(    base_url="https://<your-gateway>.cloud.apertus.ai/v1",    api_key=os.environ["APERTUS_API_KEY"],) reply = client.chat.completions.create(    model="deepseek-v4.1-flash",    messages=[{        "role": "user",        "content": "Summarise the contract in three sentences.",    }],)# runs on your dedicated gateway in Europe

Works the same with cURL, LangChain, LlamaIndex, n8n and every client that speaks the OpenAI API.

EU LLM hosting

LLM hosting in the EU. Ready from day one.

GDPR-compliant LLM hosting without the effort: your gateway starts with a curated selection of current open-weight models operated in Europe. We keep them current and add new models.

  • Models from Mistral and Swiss AI from Europe
  • Local and dedicated models through the same endpoint
  • Closed-source models in the EU region on request

02 MCP Gateway

Your tools. Safely connected.

Agents only become useful once they may access your systems. The MCP gateway is the single, controlled way in: you register MCP servers centrally and decide which agent may use which tool.

Central registry

All MCP servers in one place, reachable for every client through one endpoint.

Permissions per agent

Grants per team, agent and tool instead of full access for every client.

Credentials stay in the gateway

Credentials for your systems are kept centrally, not in prompts, scripts or on laptops.

Every tool call logged

Traceable which agent called which tool, and when.

03 For everyone with a say

One gateway, three pieces of good news.

IT & platform

One endpoint instead of scattered API keys.

Grant and revoke access centrally, swap models without touching applications.

Privacy & compliance

Traceable where data goes.

Operated in Europe, GDPR-compliant, with rules for which data may reach which model and an audit log.

Finance & procurement

Costs you can allocate.

Budgets per team and cost per application, without bulk invoices from several providers.

04 Integrations

One gateway for every tool in your company.

Chat, coding agents or automation: everyone in your company reaches approved models and tools through your gateway, with their own keys, budgets and permissions. Anything that speaks an OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible API or MCP works.
