Merge
Merge is a connective infrastructure platform for production AI, providing a single layer to connect AI products, agents, APIs, tools, and large language models. It offers a unified API for customer-facing data integrations across hundreds of applications, an Agent Handler for connecting AI agents to thousands of pre-built tools via MCP connectors, and a Gateway for routing LLM requests through one API with spend and performance controls. Merge also includes Merge for Workforce, which lets organizations govern internal AI by pushing approved models, MCPs, and skills to employee AI tools with cost controls and audit logging. The platform is designed for builders and enterprises that need to ship integrations quickly without maintaining point-to-point connectors. It provides pre-built connectors, observability, security controls, and a catalog of integrations, MCP connectors, and AI models. Merge markets itself as the connectivity layer for AI, with use cases spanning AI product development, employee AI governance, and operational workflows such as candidate sourcing, financial analysis, and payment reconciliation. Merge is trusted by companies building AI products, including OpenAI, and positions itself as infrastructure rather than an end-user application. It is delivered as a hosted SaaS platform and offers documentation, pricing, and security information on its website.
