Getting reliable data access underneath an AI application takes longer than it should. Every source has its own auth quirks, API versioning, rate limits, and pagination behavior — and those problems don’t simplify when you add an agent on top. They compound.
Today we’re releasing three products that provide the data access layer so you don’t have to build it:
🔌 Connect AI Developer Edition — Free MCP-native access to hundreds of enterprise sources including Salesforce, Snowflake, NetSuite, Workday, and Microsoft 365. Sign up with up with any email; no credit card required. Includes a Management MCP server that lets agents create and test connections without leaving the IDE. Learn more.
🐍 Connect AI Python SDK — A DB-API 2.0 client for Connect AI.
pip install cdata-connect-aiWorks with pandas and SQLAlchemy. MIT-licensed, on PyPI and GitHub.
💻 CData CLI — A terminal interface to CData drivers and connectors. One-line install. Gives AI coding assistants live schema access and query capability against hundreds of enterprise sources — no MCP server required. Learn more.
📍 All three are available today at cdata.com/developers.
