Platform Integration

Integrate Grist Mill's Commercial Data Infrastructure at Any Layer of Your Stack
 

Government teams and system integrators can integrate their own applications and AI systems with Grist Mill's Commercial Data Infrastructure using our Platform Integration options.

Different points of entry. One underlying infrastructure.



Integration options

Options include LLM-layer AI integration, a system-to-system API, agent-driven access to Millton's full capabilities, and a Millton assistant inside tools like Microsoft Teams and Slack, with more channels arriving as the infrastructure grows.
integration-mcp
MCP Server Integration

Connect the Mill with the AI assistants your team already uses. Through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), tools like Claude and ChatGPT can work directly with the Mill on your behalf: discovering and evaluating commercial datasets, organizing what you find, and taking the next step toward acquiring the data you need, all within your organization's existing tools and interfaces.

integration-rest
REST API

Our REST API gives your systems direct, programmatic access to the Mill. Your applications can search and filter the full catalog of commercial datasets, retrieve detailed dataset records, and manage the deliveries you are expecting or fulfilling. Every endpoint is documented with an OpenAPI specification, returns predictable JSON, and is tuned for automation, so integrating the Mill's discovery and delivery workflows into your own tools, pipelines, and dashboards is quick and reliable.

integration-agentz
Agent API

Our Agent API puts Millton, the AI assistant behind the Mill, to work inside your own software. With a single API key, your applications and agents can open a session, ask a question, and receive a complete answer drawn from the Mill's catalog of commercial data, with every tool call, approval, and result returned in a stable, documented format your code can rely on.

integration-assistant
Millton Assistant

Millton is your AI guide to the Mill, helping you discover the right data for your problem, compare and evaluate candidates, and build out a coherent solution you can bring to stakeholders. From first search to final decision, Millton helps sharpen your problem along the way and makes it easy to signal interest when you've found the right fit.

FAQs

The Mill and Millton are two ways to reach Grist Mill's Commercial Data Infrastructure. Platform Integration is a third: instead of working through Grist Mill's marketplace or AI analyst, applications, platforms, and AI systems connect straight to the infrastructure itself, at whatever layer fits the mission environment.

No. Every integration channel operates under Grist Mill's single standardized data sharing agreement, so there is no separate contract to negotiate as new channels come online.

Commercial data is delivered through APIs, streaming, or other delivery methods directly into the application, platform, or AI system already in use, not into a separate platform that has to be adopted.

Yes. Vendors never learn which country, agency, program, platform, or AI system is acquiring their data. Anonymity extends across every integration channel.

Grist Mill strips friction from integration, just like it does for discovery, evaluation, customization, acquisition, and delivery. Depending on the channel and requirement, a direct integration can go live in hours.
