Connectivity
Every System, One Platform
Connect to data from every enterprise system through a single managed MCP platform that handles the complexity of data access, presenting a consistent data interface for instant AI understanding and use.
- Universal access to 350+ enterprise systems: Pre-built connectors to key business context across popular platforms and legacy systems, with deep API coverage that reaches every endpoint and relevant object.
- Dedicated data query engine: Joins, filters, and aggregations are executed at the source instead of with brute-force LLM reasoning, enabling live connectivity at analytical performance levels.
- Cross-system intelligence: AI reasons over data relationships across systems using automatic schema translation and seamless data federation for a complete view of your business.
Context
Smarter Agents, Smaller Token Footprint
Give agents the business understanding they need to reason like expert human analysts with semantic intelligence that surfaces the meaning behind your data, enabling more accurate reasoning with fewer tokens.
- Source-level semantic intelligence: Agents understand the business meaning behind data through metadata context to reason like a human would.
- Lean token footprint: Query push-down and derived views keep AI focused on reasoning with fewer data queries at more predictable costs.
- Curated data collections and tools: Create targeted, multi-source data collections with custom tools to direct agents for specific use cases.
- Enhanced per-source MCP instructions: Pre-configured guides with CData's source system expertise help agents understand data source structures and business definitions before the first query.
- Documents as data: Retrieve and edit files and reports directly through your AI workflows without complex RAG pipelines.

Control
Enterprise Security Without Compromise
Deploy AI with confidence knowing every interaction respects your existing data security boundaries, enforcing identity passthrough while giving IT audit visibility and granular controls.
- Identity-first security with passthrough permissions: Source system RBAC is automatically honored and updated by AI with OAuth/SSO integration.
- Granular AI controls: Least-privilege principles and down-scoping further govern AI access.
- Comprehensive audit trails and governance: Full visibility and logging across every data query from AI for complete compliance, governance, and security monitoring.
- User-level authentication: Full OAuth 2.1 support, PKCE and SSO integration ensures MCP usage is governed by existing permissions.
How will connected AI change how you AI?
Analyze campaign performance or find user patterns just by asking so you can focus on thinking outside the box
Unblock your creative and strategic work by asking AI for audience insights, campaign results, content performance and more—directly from your connected systems. Assign AI agents to keep tabs on competitors, generate content from tickets, or manage marketing campaigns.
— Paul Summitt, Belden
Generate financial reports and get real-time budget updates just by asking
How many times a day does someone ask a question you have to dig through spreadsheets or reports to answer?
Instead, enable AI to find and deliver the answer instantly, automating routine financial analysis or running “what-if” scenarios—without relying on manual data pulls or time-consuming Excel wrangling. Assign AI agents to reconcile records, summarize invoices, or enrich purchase reports.
— Nathan Thompson, Scorpion
Let sellers focus on selling instead of combing through Salesforce reports
Deliver instant visibility into pipeline changes, close-lost trends, prospect follow-ups, and flag coaching opportunities—no dashboards or data wrangling required. Let AI surface what's changed, what's at risk, and what's working across your sales teams. Assign AI agents to create orders, generate tracking numbers, and triage inbound leads.
