Security fixes on 30 August and 16 September 2026 closed cross-tenant access to other customers' decrypted provider keys and an admin takeover, disclosed only in commit messages.\n\n**Navige.** Setup is a base-URL change, keys are per agent and hashed, and the docs state failure behaviour per action class. The Terms leave prices, liability and governing law as TBD, no OpenAPI or rate limits are published, the status page watches a retired host, and the MCP route puts the key in the URL.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Helicone AI Gateway + MCP\n\n1. Bring your own provider keys. Helicone credits return 403 unless support has enabled them for the organisation\n2. Rotate any provider keys stored in Helicone before 30 August 2026\n3. Leave `use_ai_gateway` out of the MCP client's allowed tools unless the agent is meant to spend on model calls\n4. Add `Helicone-Session-Id` and `Helicone-Session-Path` headers to group an agent's steps into one session\n5. Use the EU host (eu.helicone.ai) if the account was created there\n\n### Navige\n\n1. Send the Navige key in `x-navige-key` on the proxy. `Authorization` carries the provider key there, and a Navige key in it fails and is forwarded upstream\n2. Act only on `allow` or `approved` from `/enforce`. Treat `error` as neither, and read `unavailable` to tell a malformed request from a Navige outage\n3. Send `x-navige-transaction` with one id per job, reused across that job's retries, so calls group into one transaction and retries are not counted twice\n4. On a 429 from the proxy, check for a blocking budget before retrying. Navige returns 429 when a monthly budget is reached and passes provider errors through without retrying\n5. Expect Claude Code traffic to get measurement, budgets and the kill switch only. Context trimming, routing, the output ceiling and prompt caching are switched off for it\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Helicone AI Gateway + MCP or Navige?\n\nHelicone AI Gateway + MCP scores 46.9 (D) on agent readiness against Navige's 42.8 (E), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Navige leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Helicone AI Gateway + MCP and Navige need an API key?\n\nBoth need an API key.\n\n### Can an agent call Helicone AI Gateway + MCP and Navige without installing anything?\n\nYes. Helicone AI Gateway + MCP has a hosted endpoint at https://ai-gateway.helicone.ai and Navige at https://api.navige.ai.\n\n### Are Helicone AI Gateway + MCP and Navige open source?\n\nHelicone AI Gateway + MCP is open source (Apache-2.0). No open-source release is listed for Navige.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/helicone-vs-navige.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/helicone-vs-navige.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"helicone\", \"b\": \"navige\"}`.
