Restate Comparison
Should I migrate from Restate to Catalyst if I need MCP tool authorization for AI agents?
Yes, if MCP tool authorization and policy enforcement are critical. Restate does not include MCP support or tool-level policy controls. Catalyst natively integrates MCP with workload identity, letting you define which agents can invoke which tools. For teams already using Restate for basic durable execution, Catalyst adds a governed layer for agentic workflows without replacing your agent framework.
