CData Connect AI MCP: enterprise data sources in your AI app

CData Connect AI is a cloud-hosted MCP server that gives AI apps access to enterprise data sources through CData. ContextGate connects it to Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor alongside your other apps, so the same connection reaches your CData sources and each query passes your workspace policies before an answer comes back.
