Connect OpenAI to live SAS xpt data, securely.
CData Connect AI lets you plug any business application into any AI tool—like SAS xpt into OpenAI—for live, trusted answers and actions with zero data copies.
- One MCP server, hundreds of live sources—OpenAI reaches SAS xpt and any other system through a single managed connection, no per-source setup
- Schema-aware from the first prompt—OpenAI reads your full SAS xpt data model on connect, so answers are accurate on day one
- Bidirectional and secure by design—OpenAI reads and writes live SAS xpt data within your own access rules
SAS xpt:
SAS XPORT is a file format used for transporting and sharing SAS datasets between different operating systems and versions of SAS software. It allows for the efficient transfer of data while preserving the structure and integrity of the dataset. XPORT files can be easily imported and exported within the SAS environment.
OpenAI:
OpenAI’s agent framework combines the Responses API (with built-in Tools like Web, File, and Computer), the Agents SDK (for stateful tool use with tracing), and the Realtime API (for multimodal and voice-first agents). With Connect AI, you can give OpenAI agents live, governed business data from across your stack—without building custom tool wrappers or staging data pipelines.
Popular OpenAI & SAS xpt integration use cases
- Autonomous OpenAI agents — Build agents that plan and execute multi-step workflows grounded in real-time SAS xpt data.
- Voice-first copilots with the Realtime API — Let agents speak, reason, and act while pulling live context from SAS xpt.
- Retrieval and tool calls via the Responses API — Enable accurate summaries, answers, and updates based on current SAS xpt records.
- Auditable, governed tool usage — Expose only approved read/write operations on SAS xpt to OpenAI agents, with full logging via the Agents SDK.

SAS xpt to OpenAI features
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.
Expose your data's metadata, relationships, and context so AI has real understanding of your business without recreating it on top of a warehouse.
Point-and-click connection setup that works for both queries and actions so you can set up integrations in minutes.
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 OpenAI to your business data.
