The story

Armature is an early-stage YC P26 company founded by ex-Palantir, ex-Tsuga and ex-Joko operators. It builds observability and evaluation tooling for AI agent sessions running against MCP servers, Claude Connectors and ChatGPT Apps. The thesis: as users delegate to AI agents, the 'interface' shifts from UI to MCP, and product analytics must move inside those agent sessions.
