New: The First Managed MCP Platform by CData 

Most enterprise AI fails because it can't connect to your enterprise data. 

CData’s Connect AI can change that. 

It's the first managed Model Context Protocol (MCP) platform that connects AI systems directly to your enterprise sources like Salesforce, NetSuite, Jira, and 300+ others in minutes, not months. Connect AI is built on the same connectivity infrastructure already trusted by AI leaders like Google Cloud, Palantir, and Salesforce Data Cloud. 

What makes Connect AI different: 

• Connect everything: AI assistants, workflow, and agent orchestration platforms

• Live data access in-place: No ETL, no replication, no stale data 

• Semantic intelligence: AI understands data relationships, not just raw fields 

• Identity-aware security: Users see exactly what they're authorized to see 

• Deploy in minutes, not months: with point-and-click setup   

Connect AI is available today and only takes minutes to setup.

Big stage, standing room! This week at Big Data LDN was a blast. I moderated a panel on scaling AI in the enterprise and the room energy was off the charts. Big Data London keeps raising the bar with real conversations and real use cases.

AI that can actually help you build.

I had a blast interviewing Vojta Tůma, Field CTO at Keboola, on The Ravit Show, we discussed AI assistants and MCP for data engineering!

Here are a few key takeaways —

• MCP turns a chatbot into a teammate. It can use tools, call APIs, and take actions. That is why it matters for engineers.

• New workflows open up. You can sketch a pipeline in conversation, run a job, debug a failure, or trigger a transform from one place.

• Safety is built in. Step by step permissions. Full logs. Reviews and approvals before changes go live. Propose a fix, dry run it, then merge.

• The result is faster work without losing control. Less glue code. More time on the real problems.

Let developers, analysts, and data engineers ship faster—AI handles the heavy lifting, Keboola keeps it reliable.
