[Obot AI](https://obot.ai), an open-source software company, has secured $35 million in a seed funding round. Mayfield Fund and Nexus Venture Partners co-led this investment.

The company builds enterprise-ready platforms for the emerging Model Context Protocol (MCP) standard. MCP, an open-source standard from Anthropic, acts as a universal interface, connecting LLMs with external tools and data sources, enabling AI models and agents to interact effectively with third-party software.

Obot AI’s MCP Gateway provides a unified, open-source solution. It helps enterprise developers and IT teams control and manage the security of MCP servers and MCP-enabled enterprise AI solutions.

The Nanobot MCP Agent Framework further enables developers to quickly prototype and deploy sophisticated AI agents. This framework supports MCP-UI, an experimental extension allowing AI agents to render active user interfaces. Companies like [OpenAI](https://www.startuphub.ai/ai-news/ai-video/2025/openai-and-apollo-research-reveal-ai-models-are-learning-to-deceive-new-detection-methods-show-promise/) and Google Cloud AI also navigate complex AI integration challenges. Obot AI addresses the fragmentation, governance, and integration issues organizations face when adopting AI.
