In the fast-evolving world of data, AI tools are becoming indispensable for data teams. They help streamline workflows, uncover insights, and drive innovation. But to truly unlock the power of these tools, they need access to the rich, contextual information an organization's data ecosystem.

That's why we're thrilled to announce a significant enhancement to your Foundational environment: the ability to connect AI tools like Claude and Cursor directly using our new Model Context Protocol (MCP) Remote Server. This integration brings the deep context of your data ecosystem right into your AI tools, empowering you to work smarter and achieve more.

Why is this a game-changer for your data team?

Picture this: your AI assistant, now armed with a deep understanding of your entire data landscape, is ready to tackle your most complex data challenges. Whether you're tracing data origins, overhauling code, or hunting for cost efficiencies, the MCP Remote Server empowers your AI tools to become true partners in your data strategy. This isn't just an upgrade; it's a new way of interacting with your data.

Here’s how this integration delivers tangible benefits:

  • Unlock Deeper Insights with Enhanced Data Lineage Queries: With this integration, your AI tools can tap directly into Foundational's comprehensive lineage. This means you can instantly get answers to critical questions like, "What are all the downstream dependencies of Table X?" or "Show me the origin and transformation path for the data in our quarterly revenue report." This capability not only accelerates troubleshooting but also instills greater confidence in your data.
  • Refactor Your Code with Confidence: Modernizing or optimizing your codebase can be fraught with risk, especially in intricate data ecosystems. By feeding your AI tools the complete context of your data ecosystem, including full data lineage from Foundational, you enable significantly more accurate automated refactoring. Your AI can now intelligently analyze potential impacts, helping to prevent broken downstream processes and ensuring that changes are safe and effective.
  • Streamline Cost Optimization with AI-Powered Efficiency: Identifying and eliminating unused tables and pipelines is key to managing data warehouse and pipeline costs, but it's often a manual and time-consuming process. Now, you can delegate this to your AI. Imagine asking: "Identify the most expensive, unused tables in our warehouse and generate a Pull Request to safely deprecate them." Your AI, leveraging usage and cost data from Foundational, can verify that there are no downstream dependencies and then initiate the removal process for your review. This proactive approach to cost saving is not just easier; it's smarter.

Getting Started is Easy

We've designed the integration process to be quick and straightforward. You can connect your AI tools to your Foundational environment in just a few minutes.

For full guidance on activating this integration, please visit our Help Center article on configuring MCP.

The Future of Data and AI, Connected

At Foundational, we're committed to providing data teams with the tools and capabilities they need to succeed. This new integration is another step towards a future where data and AI work seamlessly together, unlocking new levels of productivity and insight.

We're excited to see how you leverage this new capability to enhance your AI workflows and drive even greater value from your data.
