Raw data,
refined for agents.
The AI Need is a data refinery that turns raw, unstructured sources into clean, normalized JSON endpoints your LLMs and agents can consume directly — no scraping, no parsing, no glue code.
Raw data in. Structured endpoints out.
A three-stage pipeline that transforms scattered, unstructured data into reliable infrastructure for the agent web.
Data Ingestion
We pull raw, unstructured sources — documents, tables, feeds, and archives — into a unified staging layer.
POST /ingest
{ source: "raw_dataset.bulk" }The Refinery Engine
Our engine normalizes reference frames, resolves conflicts, validates against strict schemas, and scores confidence — producing deterministic, machine-readable records.
refine --schema v1 normalize · validate · score
The Agent Gateway
Clean data ships through REST, SSE streams, and a native MCP server — so any agent can discover, query, and consume feeds without glue code.
GET /v1/mcp/tools -> 24 refined feeds available
One API for the whole
agent web.
Authenticate once and pull refined data over REST, stream it with SSE, or expose it to any LLM through our native MCP server.
Native MCP server
Agents discover and call feeds with zero glue code.
Strict schemas
Every payload is validated and versioned.
Streaming (SSE)
Subscribe to live transit and cycle events.
Confidence scores
Each record ships with a provenance score.

Data you can
trust in production.
Metered by
requests.
Start free with every refined feed. Scale to millions of agent requests without renegotiating your stack.
