Connect Agentforce to live Power BI XMLA data, securely.
CData Connect AI lets you plug any business application into any AI tool — like Power BI XMLA into Agentforce — for live, trusted answers and actions with zero data copies.
Give Power BI XMLA rich semantic context and real-time data from Agentforce so it can answer precisely and take safe, effective actions across your business.
Power BI XMLA:
Power BI XMLA allows users to connect Power BI to Analysis Services models using the XMLA endpoint. This enables users to create reports and visualizations directly from Analysis Services data, providing a seamless integration between the two platforms. With Power BI XMLA, users can leverage the power of Analysis Services within the familiar Power BI environment.
Agentforce:
Agentforce is Salesforce’s agent framework for building and orchestrating autonomous AI agents that work across the Salesforce Customer 360 platform. Agentforce agents can reason, plan, and act using your apps, data, and workflows. With Connect AI, you can give these agents live, governed business data from external systems—without staging it in Salesforce Data Cloud or writing custom Apex/Flow connectors.

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 Agentforce to your business data.
