Leverage the CData Connect AI Remote MCP Server to enable Claude to securely answer questions and take actions on your Marketo data for you.

Claude is a family of advanced large language models (LLMs) built by Anthropic, an AI research company founded in 2021. These models power the Claude conversational assistant and developer tools.

CData Connect AI offers a dedicated cloud-to-cloud interface for connecting to Marketo data. The CData Connect AI Remote MCP Server enables secure communication between Claude and Marketo. This allows you to ask questions and take actions on your Marketo data using Claude, all without the need for data replication to a natively supported database. With its inherent optimized data processing capabilities, CData Connect AI efficiently channels all supported SQL operations, including filters and JOINs, directly to Marketo. This leverages server-side processing to swiftly deliver the requested Marketo data.
