Build Data Access and MCP Connectivity for Agentic AI with CData
from The Ravit Show Hosted by Ravit Jain
Spoke with Amit Sharma, CEO of CData Software, at the Data + AI Summit on The Ravit Show, and we dove into a critical but often overlooked topic: data connectivity for AI agents. With the rise of agentic AI, the old ways of integrating data just don’t cut it. Amit broke down why real-time, context-aware access is now a must — and how CData is helping lead that shift. We talked about: -- The Model Context Protocol (MCP) — a powerful new way to serve up enterprise data to LLMs and agents without building brittle pipelines -- Why CData’s approach to live connectivity is a better fit for GenAI use cases than traditional ETL -- Where agents are being adopted first, based on early traction with their MCP servers -- And the biggest misconception he sees: thinking that LLMs can work well without solving the data access problem first If you’re thinking about scaling AI agents across your enterprise, this conversation is worth a listen. #data #ai #DataAISummit #Databricks #cdata #agentic #connectors #theravitshow
