CData Connect AI is the first managed Model Context Protocol (MCP) platform that enables enterprises to safely connect AI assistants, agents, and automation workflows to live data across 300+ business systems. Unlike traditional approaches that copy data into warehouses, Connect AI provides real-time, semantic-rich access to data in-place—preserving metadata, relationships, and user permissions from the source. This means AI understands your business context, not just raw data. Connect AI solves the critical challenge that causes 95% of AI pilots to fail: siloed data and poor governance. With point-and-click setup, enterprise-grade security (SOC2, GDPR, ISO 27001 certified), and inherited role-based access controls, Connect AI makes AI deployments both powerful and compliant. From enabling marketers to query campaign data conversationally, to helping finance teams automate reporting, to empowering product teams to embed data connectivity in their AI features—Connect AI transforms how organizations make AI enterprise-ready.
