Summer 2025 Product Showcase: Innovating at the Edge of Agentic AI

CData’s Summer 2025 Product Showcase emphasized that successful enterprise agentic AI depends on secure, governed, actionable access to connected data rather than passive query capabilities alone. Its new Model Context Protocol Servers, based on Anthropic’s MCP standard, are designed to let LLMs securely read and write across more than 270 enterprise data sources through structured queries and stored procedures, with Claude support in beta and a SaaS-oriented remote server planned for CData Connect AI. The company also announced enhancements to CData Sync, including Microsoft Mirroring for Delta replication in OneLake, additional reverse ETL destinations, and natural-language job orchestration, alongside planned Iceberg, dependency, and MCP capabilities. CData Arc added Python scripting, improved REST connectivity, and Peppol e-invoicing support, while CData API Server offers rapid API generation with controls such as rate limiting, access management, and logging. Audience feedback identified ETL and API integration as leading data use cases and safe, governed data access as the primary challenge for AI agents, reinforcing CData’s focus on infrastructure for reliable enterprise AI deployment.
