Mesa AI, Inc. is a technology startup based in San Francisco, California, founded in 2024. It focuses on addressing the challenges of integrating modern AI assistants, particularly large language models (LLMs), with external data sources, APIs, and SaaS tools. The company aims to simplify the connection between AI models and existing software ecosystems, which traditionally required complex server management and custom integrations.
In 2024, Mesa AI launched its flagship product, MESA (Model Context Protocol), a platform that enables secure, one-line integrations allowing AI assistants to trigger over 4,000 actions across major SaaS tools without the need for server setup. This offering supports a subscription-based SaaS business model, including freemium and paid tiers based on usage volume. The company has positioned itself as a leader in AI workflow enablement with its innovative tools and APIs, catering primarily to AI engineering teams, SaaS companies embedding LLMs, enterprise app builders, and workflow automation specialists.
Mesa AI has secured $4.5 million in Seed funding from investors including Kindred Ventures, General Catalyst, Haystack Fund, and notable angel investors from the AI development community. The company operates independently with no subsidiaries and maintains an active presence on Twitter and LinkedIn, targeting technical and non-technical teams to facilitate widespread AI adoption.
