Merge Gateway calls Tavily Search on a model’s behalf when Tavily is selected for its hosted web search tool. Gateway returns search results to the model and provides answers with URL citations. Searches can run on Merge-managed credentials and be billed through a Merge account, without a separate Tavily account.
Merge documents Tavily as one of Gateway’s automatically selected search engines. Users can explicitly select Tavily, supply their own key, configure fallback engines and request advanced search. Its Gateway changelog announces Tavily availability with zero data retention.
Merge also offers access to Tavily through Agent Handler and Workforce. Agent Handler proxies calls to Tavily’s hosted MCP server and handles authentication, tool access controls and audit logging. Workforce lists Tavily search, extraction, crawling, mapping and research tools. Separately, Merge is named as a partner for the San Francisco Builders & Brews event hosted by Nebius and Tavily.
Merge documents Tavily as a Gateway search engine, including automatic selection, Merge-managed or user-provided keys, advanced search, and fallback controls.

Merge develops APIs and infrastructure that connect software products and AI agents to business systems, tools and language models. Its customers include B2B software developers, AI companies and enterprise teams. Merge Unified synchronizes customer data through a single API, while Agent Handler lets agents take authenticated actions in third-party applications. Merge Gateway provides model access, routing, failover and spending controls. Its Workforce offering gives IT teams controls over employees’ AI access, including permissions, sensitive-data scanning and audit logs.
Merge announced support for connecting OpenAI dots to approved company tools through Merge for Workforce. Access follows employee permissions, with security rules and audit records applied to tool calls.
Merge launches credential bootstrapping for integration migrations
Merge Unified can now migrate existing OAuth connections without asking customers to authorize them again. Merge validates the existing token, creates the linked account and starts syncing. Enablement currently requires coordination with Merge.
Merge announced governed access to company tools for personal and shared Grok Bots. Each employee authenticates separately, while administrators manage access, security policies and tool-call records.
