You'd reach for this when Claude needs to query your enterprise databases without exposing credentials directly. It's a cloud-hosted proxy that sits between Claude and data sources supported by CData Connect AI, things like Salesforce, SQL Server, Oracle, and dozens of other business systems. The streamable HTTP transport means you don't run anything locally. You point Claude at the remote endpoint, authenticate through CData's infrastructure, and suddenly you can ask natural language questions that hit your actual production data. Useful if you're building AI tools for business analysts or support teams who need to pull reports without writing SQL.
