API & data access
Yes
Source: agaveapi.com: API & data accessREST
Source: agaveapi.com: API & data accessGated behind paid subscription plans; pricing is determined by connected systems, end-user accounts, and selected add-ons.
Source: useagave.com: API & data accessAgave imposes a rate limit of 150 requests per minute per Linked Account across all Source Systems, along with concurrency limits of up to 15 concurrent requests across all Linked Accounts and 10 concurrent requests per Linked Account for specific systems, in addition to underlying source system rate limits. Supports both read and write operations; unmapped source fields or custom objects require passthrough requests or raw queries.
Source: agaveapi.com: API & data accessData extraction is handled programmatically via REST API calls, webhooks, Agave Sync (automated bidirectional synchronization), raw queries, and AI Analytics; no dedicated manual CSV or scheduled file export tools are documented for developers.

Agave provides native AI features specifically focused on construction financial operations and back-office automation. Shipped native features (introduced in late 2025 and expanded through 2026) include AP Invoice Automation, AI Expense Management, AI Analytics, and the Agave MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration. Agave does not offer native AI dispatching/scheduling or AI estimating tools; its native AI scope is strictly focused on back-office accounting, automated line-item cost-coding across ERPs and project management systems, and LLM context connectivity.
Source: businesswire.com: Native AI featuresAgave has no native AI-powered dispatching, field service scheduling, or CSR/call handling features. Agave acts as a unified integration API to sync scheduling and field operations data between third-party software (such as ServiceTitan and Procore) and accounting systems, but it does not execute native AI dispatching or routing itself.
Source: agaveapi.com: Native AI featuresAgave offers native LLM connectivity via 'Agave MCP' (Model Context Protocol) and 'AI Analytics' (GA / shipped late 2025). Agave MCP links connected ERP and project management systems (such as Procore, Autodesk Build, Sage, and QuickBooks) to AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude. This allows contractors to query live project finances, job costs, over/under-billing, and commit balances using plain-English prompts and generate interactive financial dashboards.

Integrations & ecosystem
Agave connects to major construction accounting systems and ERPs, including QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Sage 100 Contractor, Sage 300 CRE, Sage Intacct, Foundation, Acumatica, CMiC, Deltek ComputerEase, Viewpoint Spectrum, and Viewpoint Vista.
Source: useagave.com: Integrations & ecosystemAgave operates natively as a unified API platform designed specifically for the construction and field service vertical. It provides standardized data models and passthrough requests to sync data natively between field/project management systems (e.g., Procore, Autodesk Build) and accounting software. External unified API platforms (such as Merge.dev) do not maintain a connector for Agave; instead, Agave serves as the underlying unified API layer for construction software vendors.

Accounting fit & implementation
Agave supports accrual accounting workflows natively by synchronizing AP/AR invoices, subcontracts, purchase orders, commitments, change orders, and job cost codes between field systems and construction accounting ERPs.

Adoption & market position
Agave is a modern unified API and AI financial operations platform for the construction and field services industries. It acts as an integration and automation infrastructure layer connecting legacy, hosted, and cloud-based ERP, project management, and accounting software (including Procore, Sage, Viewpoint, Autodesk Build, and Foundation) without requiring contractors to replace their existing systems. Founded in 2021 (Y Combinator W22), the company has raised over $20 million in funding, including a $15 million Series A led by Accel.
Source: ycombinator.com: Adoption & market positionAgave serves over 500 general and specialty contractor customers (generating between $5 million and $5 billion+ in annual revenue) as well as over 70 software vendors. Its infrastructure is utilized across more than 80,000 construction projects representing over $100 billion in project volume in North America, touching over 12,000 contractors across major projects like the Tesla Gigafactory and Meta/AWS data centers.
Source: useagave.com: Adoption & market positionAgave is a rapidly growing modern platform gaining strong market traction rather than a legacy system. The company has been cash-flow positive and profitable for over two years while tripling recurring revenue year-over-year. Its July 2026 $15M Series A funding round is backing a 3x expansion of its team and the rollout of new AI-driven back-office and financial workflow tools.
