How it works
The plugin. Substrait ships a plugin for Claude Code, the Claude desktop app and Cursor. Working with their AI model, a builder links a project to Substrait, browses the data they may use, and puts the tool live.
The scaffold. Substrait’s forward-deployed team sets up a scaffold for your company before anyone builds. The scaffold carries your sign-on, your secrets handling and your deploy and rollback paths. Every tool built on it inherits them. The scaffold is versioned, and Substrait shows when a tool was built on an older version. A running tool never changes until its owner deploys it again.
The scaffold knows nothing about your data. The scaffold gives structure and guardrails, and nothing about which systems exist. Which data a builder may use is decided in Substrait’s governance, never in the scaffold. A leaked scaffold therefore exposes no map of your data.
A browser workspace. A person with nothing installed can open a hosted build environment in the browser, with credentials already in place, and build and deploy in the same session.
Which AI models
Substrait governs what arrives, whichever AI model wrote it. Your organisation decides which AI models its people may use; that is your policy, not a lock-in to one vendor.
