Connect Langchain to live IBM Cloud Object Storage data, securely.

CData Connect AI lets you plug any business application into any AI tool—like IBM Cloud Object Storage into Langchain—for live, trusted answers and actions with zero data copies.

  • One MCP server, hundreds of live sources—Langchain reaches IBM Cloud Object Storage and any other system through a single managed connection, no per-source setup
  • Schema-aware from the first prompt—Langchain reads your full IBM Cloud Object Storage data model on connect, so answers are accurate on day one
  • Bidirectional and secure by design—Langchain reads and writes live IBM Cloud Object Storage data within your own access rules

IBM Cloud Object Storage:
IBM Cloud Object Storage is a scalable, secure, and cost-effective solution for storing and managing large amounts of unstructured data. With built-in encryption, data protection, and global data centers, it offers reliable storage for a variety of use cases, including backup, archiving, and content distribution. It is accessible through a simple API and integrates seamlessly with other IBM Cloud services.

Langchain Logo

Langchain:
LangChain is an agent framework for building LLM-powered applications, combining LCEL (Runnable chains), LangGraph (stateful agent orchestration), and LangSmith (observability and tracing). With Connect AI, you can give LangChain agents live, governed business data from across your enterprise systems—without staging data or writing custom tool wrappers.

Popular Langchain & IBM Cloud Object Storage integration use cases


  • Autonomous LangChain agents — Build agents that plan and execute multi-step tasks grounded in real-time IBM Cloud Object Storage data.
  • LangGraph workflows with governed data — Orchestrate multi-tool workflows where each node queries IBM Cloud Object Storage under strict RBAC and masking policies.
  • Retrieval-augmented LCEL chains — Power retrieval steps with live IBM Cloud Object Storage context for accurate summaries, answers, and decisions.
  • Auditable tool usage — Expose only approved read/write operations on IBM Cloud Object Storage to LangChain tools, with full logging and observability via LangSmith.

IBM Cloud Object Storage to Langchain 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:

  1. Configure data sources (Salesforce, NetSuite, Workday, SQL, Jira, etc.) in Connect AI.
  2. Create a 'Remote MCP' URL.
  3. Connect Langchain to your business data.
