Keycard has acquired Anchor.dev to extend its identity and access platform from general AI agents to autonomous coding agents, targeting a core bottleneck for production use of tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, Codex and Windsurf. By integrating Anchor.dev’s expertise in automated certificate issuance and validation, Keycard plans to move security and policy enforcement to the application layer, evaluating permissions on every tool call rather than relying on static credentials or coarse network-level controls.

The combined platform will give organizations real agent identity, scoped task-based access, per-action policy enforcement and full activity visibility, aiming to make autonomous coding agents practical in production without narrowing their capabilities. Former Anchor.dev CEO Wesley Beary has joined Keycard, while CEO Ian Livingstone positions the deal as foundational for enabling trusted, machine-driven workflows at scale, allowing enterprises to deploy AI coding agents with governed access and one-click tooling integration using Keycard’s SDKs.
