Nenya is a lightweight, zero-dependency AI API gateway in Go that sits between AI coding clients and LLM providers, adding secret redaction, context management, agent routing, and MCP tool integration with transparent SSE streaming. Its innovative combination of security hardening (mlock, seccomp, non-root), multi-provider routing with circuit breakers, and pluggable interceptor pipeline makes it a compelling solution for teams needing a secure, reliable proxy for AI API calls. The project is well-documented with clear architecture diagrams and practical deployment instructions.
