Hi Jan,

MCP + Semantic Layer = Agentic Analytics Done Right

Most LLM agents can't access enterprise data without custom integrations. Dremio built one of the first enterprise-grade MCP servers to fix this.

Key Technical Benefits:

JSON-RPC Standard Interface

• Agents auto-discover tools via list_tools()
• Run SQL Query, Get Schema, Semantic Search
• No custom glue code required

Semantic Layer Integration

• Business-friendly data abstractions over raw lakehouse
• Role-based access controls embedded
• Agents query using consistent business metrics

Autonomous Reflections

• Sub-second response times via automatic materializations
• 80% of workloads accelerated without tuning
• Query rewrites transparent to agents

Open Standards Stack

• Apache Iceberg + Arrow + Polaris catalog
• Works with OpenAI Agents SDK, LangChain
• No vendor lock-in
