AI fails on the data layer—not the model

Most AI errors trace back to incomplete system access, missing or too much context, or a lack of governance. CData resolves all three before AI ever generates a response.

Connectivity Connectivity Illustration

Reach every system, through one layer

Hundreds of SaaS apps, databases, and on-prem systems are unified behind one relational interface, so any MCP-enabled AI tool can interact with live data.

Govern what AI can see and do

Every AI-to-data interaction is governed, authenticated, and audited through precisely scoped tools and access controls—users and agents interact only with what they're allowed to.

One data layer for every AI user, agent, and system

Every team is using AI. Give them a data layer that connects every user and agent to live business context, securely and at scale.

Production AI starts and scales with CData

One data layer that offers higher accuracy and token efficiency without sacrificing governance for speed.


98.5% accurate answers

AI returns the right answers 98.5% when connected to CData—25% higher than other MCP providers.

Spend tokens wisely

A versatile tool architecture, precise context definition, and server-side data handling ensure your tokens are spent effectively.

Tokens

Basic MCP CData

Govern AI that's already running

Get visibility and control over every agent-to-data interaction before ungoverned AI becomes a data exposure problem.

Identity Per-user passthrough

Tools Scoped agent access

Audit Every request logged

Start small and scale fast

Get a team up and running in a matter of hours and scale up to thousands of users.

Engineer your organizational context for AI

Curate the data, tools, and definitions on top of CData's built-in intelligence of every source system.

Semantic intelligence

Embeds deep API knowledge into connector-specific MCP instructions and skills that teach LLMs how each system works—cutting unnecessary tool calls and token consumption.

Powerful tool design

Three-tier tool architecture of universal tools, source tools, and custom tools enable versatility to respond to any request and precision for deterministic action.

Defined data views

Specify exactly which datasets, schemas, and views are accessible to AI with cross-source virtualized datasets.

Precise agent toolkits

Toolkits that precisely scope the tools and data available can be deployed as a dedicated MCP server so agents have exactly the context needed and nothing more.

Universal tools that respond to any request  ·  Source tools tuned to each system  ·  Custom tools for deterministic action

Proven in production

CData runs critical data workflows for internal teams—and ships as embedded connectivity inside customer-facing products.
