AI & agentic data access made easy
CData Connect AI enables AI agents and LLM applications to access live data from 350+ sources using natural language. Through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), your AI applications can discover schemas, query databases, and analyze data without writing complex integration code.
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI models to securely interact with external data sources and tools. CData Connect AI provides an MCP server that exposes your data connections as tools that AI agents can use to:
- Discover data sources - List available connections, schemas, tables, and columns
- Query data - Execute SQL queries against any connected data source
- Execute procedures - Run stored procedures with parameters
- Analyze results - Let AI interpret and summarize query results
