Runlayer和Rippling于周三晚间互相撤销诉讼，双方既未达成和解也未涉及费用支付。1这场纠纷源于两家公司在MCP网关技术上的合作破裂——Rippling在与Runlayer测试合作超过一年后，并未成为客户，反而自主开发了竞争产品。1Runlayer随即起诉Rippling违反合同，Rippling则反诉称对方侵犯其专利权。1诉讼在发现阶段仅耗时三周后便告撤销，之后Rippling立即发布了其MCP网关产品。1
这场争议为创业公司提供了深刻教训。Runlayer于2025年11月推出，已融资4200万美元。1在合作期间，两个工程团队紧密配合，Runlayer员工甚至收到来自Rippling员工的短信，内容提及其雇主正在独立开发MCP网关并计划作为产品推出。1如今Rippling的MCP网关产品与Stripe、Ramp和Databricks等企业形成竞争关系。1
Runlayer and Rippling dropped their mutual lawsuits on Wednesday evening without reaching a settlement or exchanging payment 1. The dispute had erupted after Rippling, which had been testing Runlayer's MCP gateway product for over a year with close collaboration between the two engineering teams, chose to develop a competing product instead of becoming a customer 1. Runlayer initiated legal action alleging breach of contract, while Rippling countersued claiming patent infringement 1.
The conflict came to light when Runlayer employees received text messages from Rippling staff indicating that Rippling was building its own MCP gateway for product release 1. After three weeks in the discovery phase, Runlayer decided to withdraw its lawsuit 1. Shortly after the litigation was dismissed, Rippling launched its MCP gateway product, which competes against offerings from Stripe, Ramp, and Databricks 1.
Runlayer, which launched in November 2025 and has raised a total of $42 million in funding, now faces direct competition from the established player 1.
