Connect ChatGPT to live API data, securely.
CData Connect AI lets you plug any business application into any AI tool — like API into ChatGPT — for live, trusted answers and actions with zero data copies.
Give API rich semantic context and real-time data from ChatGPT so it can answer precisely and take safe, effective actions across your business.
API:
APIs, or Application Programming Interfaces, facilitate communication and interaction between different software applications. They define the rules and protocols for how software components should interact, allowing developers to access functionality and data from other services or platforms. APIs enable integration, automation, and the creation of new applications and services.
ChatGPT:
ChatGPT is OpenAI’s conversational AI with enterprise-grade controls and extensibility through GPTs and Actions, which let ChatGPT call external REST APIs to fetch or update data securely. Developers can also build agentic workflows using OpenAI’s Agents stack, with retrieval, web search, and function-style tools—now enabled by the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for standardized connectivity. Available on web, desktop, and API, ChatGPT helps teams draft, summarize, plan, and answer questions—and, when paired with CData Connect AI, deliver real answers from live business data.
Popular ChatGPT & API integration use cases
- Executive Q&A on live metrics — Let leaders ask ChatGPT questions about revenue, pipeline, support tickets, or financial KPIs directly from API.
- Drafts and summaries grounded in real data — Generate customer emails, project briefs, or meeting summaries using the latest records from API without exporting or staging data.
- Agentic workflows using Actions — Enable ChatGPT to trigger governed actions on[tech] (like creating support cases or updating opportunities) using Actions mapped to approved writes.
- Secure retrieval and analysis — Give technical teams a safe way to query and analyze real-time API data inside ChatGPT while maintaining full audit trails.

API to ChatGPT Features
Real-time data accessed in-place
Access data where it lives right now. Ensure data is always live, always retains its metadata and semantics, and always protected by source system permissions.
Semantic intelligence & preserved context
Expose your data's metadata, relationships, and context so AI has real understanding of your business without recreating it on top of a warehouse.
One connection to both explore and take action
Point-and-click connection setup that works for both queries and actions so you can set up integrations in minutes.
Enterprise security and governance
Pass through and edit role-based access control (RBAC) inherited from the source to users in AI and AI agents.
How It Works: Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Connect AI is first managed Model Context Protocol (MCP) platform for AI integration. Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard for connecting AI assistants, agents, and automations to external tools and data.
With Connect AI's managed MCP platform, you can present your enterprise systems as standardized MCP tools and resources and call them directly from AI.
Instead of building and maintaining dozens of one-off MCP Servers, your AI simply calls one universal MCP URL from Connect AI, and gets governed access to live data from across your enterprise stack.
Getting Started is Easy:
- Configure data sources (Salesforce, NetSuite, Workday, SQL, Jira, etc.) in Connect AI.
- Create a 'Remote MCP' URL.
- Connect ChatGPT to your business data.
