Execution, approvals, and control for safer AI operations.

Anvil is Membara’s security product brand for controlled AI and machine operations. Membara Commander remains the core tool for identity, policy, approvals, execution, device sessions, audit, and evidence within a separate service boundary.

Anvil principle

“AI should never gain more authority than the identity, policy, approval, and environment allow.”

Anvil carries the security product identity. Identity, enrollment, OIDC, MCP, device grants, execution, audit, evidence, privacy, and service terms remain owned by Commander Core.

Core capabilities

Control execution, not just server connectivity.

Commander binds identity, authority, policy, approvals, execution, and evidence into one auditable control plane.

  • Powerful search and filtering
  • Export for audit and compliance

Device Sessions

  • Controlled encrypted access
  • Real-time session management
  • Support for multiple protocols

Task Execution

Run commands and automated work reliably with clear monitoring.

  • Integration with external systems
How Commander works

From identity to provable execution.

Commander determines who the principal is, what authority it has, which environment it may touch, whether approval is required, and then records the outcome and evidence from the work performed.

Authority boundaries

Execution authority is explicit, scoped, and tied to authenticated identity and target context.

Fail-closed control

When identity, policy, approval, target binding, or evidence requirements are not satisfied, execution does not silently continue.

Separate service boundary

Commander keeps its own app, database, OIDC, MCP, operational data, privacy policy, and terms separate from the corporate website.

Membara Anvil Security

Execute with authority. Prove what happened.

Use Anvil to understand the product. Use Commander to authenticate, enroll, connect devices, call MCP tools, approve actions, execute work, and inspect evidence.
