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 & SendGrid integration use cases


  • Autonomous OpenAI agents — Build agents that plan and execute multi-step workflows grounded in real-time SendGrid data.
  • Voice-first copilots with the Realtime API — Let agents speak, reason, and act while pulling live context from [tech].
  • Retrieval and tool calls via the Responses API — Enable accurate summaries, answers, and updates based on current SendGrid records.
  • Auditable, governed tool usage — Expose only approved read/write operations on SendGrid to OpenAI agents, with full logging via the Agents SDK.

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 OpenAI to your business data.
