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. As of the verification date, public documentation for Restate does not list MCP support or tool-level policy controls; confirm with the vendor. 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.
