Who it is for
Data teams that want governed, modelled access rather than raw database credentials inside an assistant.

CData Connect AI
Conversational access to warehouses, databases, and analytics platforms
Overview
What CData Connect AI does
CData Connect AI puts a modelling layer between ChatGPT and company data sources, among them cloud data warehouses, relational databases, lakehouses, and analytics platforms.
Rather than exposing raw tables, an administrator assembles virtual datasets that span sources, defines the relationships between them, and attaches semantic context. Those datasets reach ChatGPT as purpose-built tools, so a question can be phrased in the vocabulary the business uses instead of the vocabulary of the storage system. The record gives the example of matching product telemetry against a release schedule to look into user engagement.
IT administrators set who can reach which data, and every query is recorded in an audit trail.
What stands out
The modelling and audit controls sit with IT, so what ChatGPT can reach is defined in advance.

Where CData Connect AI is listed
CData ships this on both marketplaces: CData Connect AI is listed in the Claude connectors directory and in the ChatGPT apps directory, under the same publisher domain.
Only 392 of the 3,150 products in this directory are listed in both marketplaces. One MCP server can serve both surfaces; what differs is each platform's listing and review process.

Claude listing
In the Claude connectors directory
CData Connect AI publishes 12 tools to Claude. That is a mid-sized surface: 51.4% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors expose fewer.
That is exactly the median for Claude-listed connectors under Data & Analytics, where 198 publish counts and 12 is the middle of the distribution.
It falls in the 11-20 tools band, which holds 22.5% of the Claude directory.
CData Connect AI publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally.
Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there.

CData Connect AI carries partner verification in the Claude directory, which 474 of 1,253 listings do (37.8%). That is a review step past self-publishing, not an Anthropic-built server.
