What Connect AI Embed Provides

Connect AI provides a managed, enterprise-grade connectivity layer for AI use cases. CData operates the platform, provides transport security, supports live, in-place access to customer systems, and offers observability through the parent account and admin portal. Connect AI Embed also helps reduce operational burden by removing the need for you to run your own MCP server infrastructure, manage connector implementations individually, or build the underlying query execution layer from scratch.

​
Your Application Stays in Control

Connect AI Embed is designed to integrate into your existing application security model, not replace it. Your team retains full ownership of the identity, authorization, and governance layer for your users, which is exactly where that control belongs. Your application manages:
  • End-user authentication and authorization
  • Role definitions and feature-level access rules
  • Read/write policy decisions for AI workflows
  • JWT generation and secret storage
  • Prompt, parameter, and request validation before anything reaches CData
  • User-level logging and attribution inside your own product
This division keeps your governance model intact and ensures your users, tenants, and workflows remain under your control.

​
Security Responsibilities at a Glance

Connect AI Embed operates on a shared responsibility model. CData manages the platform layer and your team owns the application layer. Together, they form a complete security posture.
