Zapier alternative
The Zapier Alternative, Run For You
MountDev AI MCP Router puts every connector your team uses behind a single endpoint, and lets you decide tool by tool what each person can reach. Nobody wires up a separate connection for every server, and nobody ends up holding a credential they could leak. Running it is our job rather than yours.
What makes it different
- One endpoint, every connector
- Access decided per person
- Nothing for you to run
- Credentials never leave the server
- Change access without reconnecting
- One place to revoke
The short version
Where a managed service beats running Zapier alone
A gateway moves one decision. Rather than each person assembling their own set of connections and holding the credentials that go with them, providers attach centrally and reach becomes something you grant.
What you get here
- Token Authenticated Connectors
- Credentials Stay Server Side
- One Endpoint For Everything
- Attach Unlimited Connectors
- Local And Remote Providers
- Live Connection Reporting
- Tools Stay Namespaced
- Per User, Per Tool Access
What ships in the standard plan here
Everything in this list ships as standard.

- Tools Stay Namespaced
- Per User, Per Tool Access
- One Connection, Scoped Centrally
- Grant By Provider Or By Tool
What changes once we run it
Direct connections leave a credential on every machine and no reliable list of what was handed out. Here every provider is reached through one endpoint, credentials never leave the server, and access is revoked in one place.
Access decided per person
Access is set person by person and tool by tool, and none of it lives on their machine.
Nothing for you to run
No container of yours sits in the path and no certificate of yours expires at an inconvenient moment. Your half of the setup is an account and one address.
Credentials never leave the server
A key nobody was handed is a key nobody can leak. Provider credentials sit on the gateway, which also means rotating one is a single edit rather than a message to the whole team asking them to go and update a file.
Change access without reconnecting
Changes land on a connection that is already open. Nothing has to be reconnected and nobody has to be talked through editing a file on their laptop.
Who this comparison is for
Teams sharing one set of tools
Everyone connects to the same address and sees only what you granted them. A new starter is working on their first morning without anybody walking them through a config file, and somebody leaving loses access in one action, not several.
Agencies working across client systems
Keep every client’s connectors attached in one place and hand each person only the ones they actually work on.
Anyone running several MCP servers
Past three or four servers, keeping separate entries current in every client stops being trivial.
How setting it up actually goes
Four steps, none of which involve installing software. The longest part is deciding who should be able to reach what, and even that is a matter of ticking boxes once your providers are attached.
- 1
We assess your current setup
First we look at how things run today: what you already pay for, what is configured where, and which parts are actually causing you trouble.
- 2
Sign up and create your gateway
You get your own gateway endpoint, and that address is what every assistant and every person on your team points at from here on.
- 3
Attach the providers you want
Credentials go in here, once. Attach as many providers as you like now, or come back and add more later.
- 4
Grant people the tools they need
Add your team and choose, tool by tool, what each person can reach. They add one entry pointing at the same address you use, and see exactly what you granted and nothing else.
What clients say about working with Cascadia
“I’ve always dreaded website management, but Cascadia has done an incredible job with my WordPress site, making it one less thing for me to worry about.”
“I’ve worked with Cascadia for several years now. They are always ready to help in any way I ask and can implement my ideas with ease. A company that values their clients!”
“Cascadia has been great to work with! We recently needed some updates, and Cascadia was quick to get them completed! We highly recommend Cascadia Web Services.”
“Cascadia is very responsive and we’re happy with them as our primary IT vendor.”
“They do great work, been using for years. Prompt responses to requests.”

Zapier alternative questions
Straight answers about switching, pricing, and what moves with you.
See MCP RouterWhy would I switch from Zapier to Cascadia?
One reason is that access gets decided per person. Access is set person by person and tool by tool, and none of it lives on their machine. Somebody in support and somebody in finance can point at the same gateway and be looking at two different tool lists, without either of them knowing the other list exists.
Can two people share one router and see different tools?
Yes, and this is the main reason to run one. Both people connect to the same endpoint with the same setup steps, but each sees only the tools you have granted them. Their assistants show different tool lists without either person configuring anything differently.
Where does the router run?
On our infrastructure. It is a managed service, so you connect to an endpoint we operate rather than standing anything up yourself. That means no deployment, no patching, and no uptime to watch.
Do I need to install or host anything?
No. You sign up, attach the providers you want, and add one entry to your assistant’s configuration pointing at the router. There is no package to install, no container to run, and no certificate to manage. The connectors behind the router can be ones we host or ones you already run yourself.
How does billing work?
You pay per person, per month, for the people who actually use it. Connectors and assistants are unlimited, so adding another tool or another agent never changes the bill. Adding a person does.
What can I connect to it?
Any MCP server the router can reach. That includes connectors running locally inside an instance and connectors reachable over HTTPS, at the same time, in the same tool list.
How are provider credentials handled?
The router holds them. Keys stay server side rather than being copied into each person’s assistant configuration, where they are easy to leak and painful to rotate. When a credential changes you update it once centrally, and every connected user keeps working because none of them were holding it.
How do I remove someone’s access?
In one place. Because everybody connects through the same endpoint rather than holding their own direct connections, revoking a person is a single action rather than a hunt through separate client configurations to find every connector they were ever given.
Can I use it with Claude Desktop?
Yes. Add the router as a connector in your client and it appears as one entry exposing every tool you have been granted. This works the same way in any MCP compatible client, and it replaces the separate entry you would otherwise need for each individual server.
How do I see what is currently connected?
Ask the router. It reports back the client identity it sees, every active integration with its address, and the total number of tools currently exposed to you. That gives you a quick way to confirm a new provider attached correctly and that a person is seeing what you expect them to see.
