Product Summary

Overview

CData Connect AI is a managed Model Context Protocol (MCP) platform designed to facilitate secure data connectivity for AI applications. It provides a managed infrastructure layer that enables AI tools and applications to access enterprise data while maintaining security and compliance standards.

Key Features

• Inherited Permissions: The platform respects and enforces existing data access permissions, ensuring that AI applications only access data that users are authorized to view. This eliminates the need to recreate permission structures and maintains consistency with existing security policies.

• Audit Controls: Comprehensive audit capabilities track data access and interactions, providing visibility into how AI systems interact with enterprise data. This supports compliance requirements and security monitoring.

• Managed MCP Platform: As a managed service, CData Connect AI handles the infrastructure and operational overhead of running an MCP server, allowing organizations to focus on integration rather than deployment and maintenance.

• Secure AI Data Connectivity: The platform is built with security as a core principle, enabling safe connections between AI applications and data sources without exposing sensitive information unnecessarily.
