Dremio, the intelligent lakehouse platform, today announced the launch of the Dremio MCP Server, a solution that brings AI-native data discovery and query capabilities to the lakehouse and enables AI agents to dynamically explore datasets, generate queries, and retrieve governed data in real time.
The Dremio MCP Server builds on Dremio’s foundation as the unified data access layer and extends it to AI agents—providing a single, governed interface to reach enterprise data wherever it lives, according to the vendor.
Through MCP, Dremio natively integrates with leading AI models such as Claude, enabling agents to seamlessly discover and query data with contextual understanding. Claude-powered agents can dynamically interpret user intent, invoke Dremio’s tools, and deliver trusted, real-time insights—all without manual integrations.
“The Model Context Protocol is a critical advancement that allows AI systems like Claude to seamlessly interact with enterprise data systems," said Mahesh Murag, product manager at Anthropic, "Dremio's implementation of MCP enables Claude to extend its reasoning capabilities directly to an organization's data assets, unlocking new possibilities for AI-powered insights while maintaining enterprise governance."
As generative AI and agentic applications reshape how users interact with data, MCP provides the critical bridge between AI systems and enterprise data platforms. Developed by Anthropic and supported by an open ecosystem, MCP standardizes how AI agents understand available tools, invoke functions, and maintain context across complex workflows.
Powered by Dremio’s semantic layer, which provides a unified, governed view across all data sources with the Dremio MCP Server, AI agents gain seamless access to Dremio’s full data environment. This enables agents to:
- Discover datasets and metadata without manual integrations.
- Translate natural language into SQL queries and execute them directly.
- Automate workflows such as reporting, customer segmentation, and operational analysis.
In the past few weeks, Dremio additionally announced its next-generation release, including autonomous performance capabilities. Highlights include:
- Unified Semantic Layer across all data
- Autonomous performance
- Built on Open Standards
The Dremio MCP Server is available now as an open-source solution.
