CData Brings its MCP Platform to the Databricks Marketplace to Power Enterprise AI Agents

CData Software, a leading provider of enterprise data connectivity solutions, is partnering with Databricks, the Data and AI company, to offer CData’s Managed MCP Platform, Connect AI, on the Databricks Marketplace.

Connect AI enables Databricks Agent Bricks to directly connect to hundreds of enterprise data systems via the MCP protocol. This integration enables Databricks customers to build and deploy AI agents in minutes that can securely read, write, and act on data in Databricks combined with real-time data directly from more than 350 enterprise systems including NetSuite, Salesforce, SAP, and ServiceNow, the company said.

Connect AI’s source-level semantic intelligence uniquely exposes the business knowledge encoded in every enterprise system and understands metadata and relationships across systems. Agent Bricks agents, built on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform combined with Connect AI can better reason and more accurately act on the full picture of a customer’s business context, according to the companies.  

"We're excited to partner with Databricks to eliminate the organizational context gaps that prevent enterprises from deploying truly intelligent agents at scale," said Amit Sharma, CEO and founder at CData Software. "Our platform doesn't just connect to data sources—it teaches AI agents the schemas, relationships, and business logic native to each system, enabling sophisticated multi-source analysis and actions that were previously impossible. Enterprise AI agents become truly intelligent with the pivotal integration of CData Managed MCP Platform on the Databricks Marketplace. This gives Agent Bricks seamless access to data context outside the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform.”

 Connect AI differentiates itself through five critical capabilities that enterprise AI deployments demand:

• Universal connectivity: Production-grade connectors to 350-plus enterprise systems with built-in reliability, governance, and compliance features that eliminate custom integration work

• Real-time data access: Live connections ensure AI agents see current state rather than stale batch exports, enabling timely decisions and actions

• Semantic intelligence: Deep understanding of connected systems' schemas, relationships, and business logic that enables AI agents to perform sophisticated cross-system analysis

• Enterprise-grade security: Inherited user permissions, OAuth support, SSO integration, end-to-end encryption, and independent SOC2, GDPR, and ISO/IEC 27001 certification ensure trusted boundaries and complete audit trails
• Deployment in minutes: Deploy agent connectivity in minutes with point-and-click setup to your enterprise systems and configuration of one fully hosted MCP Server within Databricks.

The Connect AI platform is fully hosted and managed, allowing organizations to configure any data source in minutes and begin building agents immediately with a free tier available.

CData’s Connect AI is immediately available in Databricks Marketplace.
