What is Nectre?
AI agents are only as good as the data they can reach, and right now that means scraping the web or stitching together a dozen API integrations. Nectre is one gateway to many data providers: one connection in, standardized data out, with providers paid per call.

AI agents are getting scary good at reasoning. Getting them clean, reliable data is still a mess.
Today, if your agent needs real-world information, you’ve got two bad options. Let it scrape the web and hope the answer is accurate, current and cheap enough to run at scale. Or build and maintain a pile of separate API integrations, each with its own auth, schema, rate limits and quirks. Both options eat engineering time, and neither scales.
We built Nectre to fix that.
Nectre is a single gateway between AI agents and data providers. Your agent (or your app) makes one request. Nectre routes it to the right provider, pulls the data and returns it in a standardized format. No scraping and no integration sprawl.
You can plug in however suits your stack:
- API for apps and backends
- MCP server for agents that speak MCP
- Agent skill for dropping straight into an agent workflow
Think OpenRouter, but for data. OpenRouter showed that developers don’t want to manage ten separate LLM accounts. They want one endpoint and the best model for the job. The same logic applies to data. Why should every agent builder wire up every provider by hand?
For agent builders and engineers: one integration instead of many, consistent responses your agent can rely on, and usage tracked and billed in one place.
For data providers: connect your existing API once and get paid per call. You get a new distribution channel into the agent economy without building a go-to-market from scratch.
Why structured data beats web retrieval: we think it wins on accuracy, cost and latency, particularly for high-stakes workflows like procurement. We’re putting that to the test with research comparing structured data gateways against web retrieval for LLM agents, and we’ll share what we find.
We’re early, and we’re building in public. If you’re building agents that need real data, or you run a data API and want agents calling it, come talk to us at nectre.io.
The agent era needs a data layer. We’re building it.
